Duplicated sites in Dmoz, why?

When i Search for "jordi Oller" in dmoz...

Someone called Jordi Oller is listed in 2 categories...

http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=jordi+oller

Is the same person and the same URL... there is no control about that?

I have near one year trying to be listed... with more good content and more popularity with my own name [URL removed] and this things broke all the philosofy in dmoz.

Thanks for read my post.
Jordi Oller.

The sites are listed in different languages, one in Català, and one in Español. Now, I wouldn't have thought those categories would be related, so one of the listings is probably in the wrong category, but I don't know either language well enough to be sure which one.

The categories are related
The Catalan category is in English Science/Social_Sciences/Psychology/
The Spanisch listing is in a subcat of the the Spanish version of the same category.
So I think both lsiting are in the correct category.

Sites can be listed more than once when they have content in more than one language.

Yes but this one is duplicated... in the same language...

Why? I think is not just... for all other people, sites listed 2 - 3 times, and others waiting years, and have no inclussion.

From our guidelines at http://www.dmoz.org/add.html

Please recognize that making the ODP a useful resource requires us to exercise broad editorial discretion in determining the content and structure of the directory. That discretion extends (but is not limited) to what sites to include, where in the directory sites are placed, whether and when to include more than one link to a site, when deep linking is appropriate, and the content of the title and description of the site.

The fact that a site is listed or even listed multiple times has nothing to do with another site being listed, reviewed or rejected. Every site is reviewed only on the content found on that website. When the review will be done noone can predict. It could be today, next week, next month, next year or even after several years. We just don't know. But eventualy all suggested sites will be reviewed. That is all we can promise.

There are many ways of thinking about "justice". And there are always some ways of thinking about "justice" that are irrelevant, counterproductive, or unjust.

If someone gives someone else a gift, and doesn't give you a gift, is that "unjust"? Yes, it is.

Not to you. You got what you deserved. And that's OK.

But it IS unjust to the person who received the gift (that is, something they didn't deserve.) And it's unjust to the person who gave up something they had for nothing--they are out one gift, and they didn't get paid.

And that's OK, because the person who gave up the gift made that choice, and the person who received the gift doesn't mind.

What IS unjust is--you expecting to receive a gift every time someone else does.

But what you've done is really worse than that. You saw one person (volunteer editor) give a gift (information) to all surfers, and you assumed that some irrelevant bystander (some other website maker) enjoyed seeing the gift happen. But you weren't willing to share the enjoyment of the other irrelevant bystander, instead you were angry because he enjoyed watching someone else get a gift but you don't enjoy seeing someone else get a gift.

None of us can help having unjust feelings. But it's courteous not to air them among strangers.

And ... try to join the community of people who enjoy giving gifts and don't mind other people receiving them.

My mistake. The Spanish (langauge) site appeared to be in Health/ on the English side. I should have checked the altlang (that's "other languages") links more carefully. (I did say I didn't understand the languages...)

same as this site
lawcrossing.com

this site has also two links in Dmoz with different category
Society: Law: Employment: Legal Recruiters
Society: Law: Employment: Job Listings
how can this happened.

I expect the editors decided that two listings are justified.

There's no ban on websites being listed in multiple categories, there's just a ban on suggesting them to multiple categories (honourable exceptions for Regional listings and websites in multiple languages).
