I have submitted my site to this category

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Entertainment/Recordings/Music/Specialty/Urban,_Dance,_and_Electronica/

approximatley 4 months ago and recently resubmitted approximatley 3 weeks ago. I believe that I have followed the guidelines correctly, but have not been posted.

I did notice that this category has no editor., could that be the problem? What can do I to expedite this.

Thank You Malcolm

Is your URL actually http://www.djmusicsource.com/ ? That one is in unreviewed in that category, along with about 40 others. That isn't a large backlog, but there's only one editor the next level up, covering a lot of subcategories.

What you can do - well, if you're interested in collecting music sites, the music categories could use editors. Becoming an editor won't get your site any preference, of course, but you can do your bit towards speeding up things for everybody.

Can I actually apply to be an editor for the category I want to be listed in?? Would this considered be a conflict of interest? If not I would love to do so.


Thanks Malcolm

As long as you state your affiliation honestly on your application, and edit fairly and objectively, without giving your own site any special treatment, there's no problem. /images/icons/smile.gif More info at http://dmoz.org/help/become.html .

One other thing is that new editors are usually only approved for small cats. If you apply for the cat and are rejected this may be a reason. If so reapply for a sub cat such as 'vinyl', prove your editing skills there, and then apply to move up to the full cat.
