Can anyone please advise me on my application?
I applied to edit Regional/Europe/Italy/Regions/Tuscany/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate
but was rejected on the following grounds:
"..you have chosen a category that is already well represented, or is broader than we typically assign to a new editor.."
I'm not sure how either of these reasons apply? The category in question only has 31 sites listed and no sub-categories (it seems that new editors are not given categories with more than 75 sites) and as the results it currently gives fail to accurately represent companies working in this area I can't really believe it's suffering from editorial excess either!
I did admit that I had a professional interest in this area in my application. The FAQ states this is not a reason for declining an application. My site is already one of those listed but as we work in a very small area, often have more enquiries than we can manage and frequently recommend other companies I have a interest in getting this category into much better shape.
Can anyone suggest how I should reapply or whether it is likely that I will continue to be rejected for this category
I'm happy to volunteer to edit other categories. Is there some way I can check if they already have a surplus of editors beforehand?
Thanks
