The site is already listed in that category. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> It was added on October 7th, 2002.
 

I thought each site can be listed regionally AND thematically. can you see the status of the thematical submission? I appreciate that!

As I don't have editing privileges for that part of the directory, I can't tell you the status of your submissions to World/Deutsch/Gesellschaft/Religion und Spiritualität/Christentum.

Unfortunately I can't view your site now, because http://www.wiederkunft.at/wiederkunft_christi.html doesn't work with Netscape 4.75 (it only shows a blank page). But I suspect that the parousia (Wiederkunft) won't be a regional phenomenom limited to Austria, so I actually ask myself why this site was listed regionally. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

World/Deutsch/Gesellschaft/Religion und Spiritualität/Christentum is a very general category with about 100 submissions waiting for review. Have you checked whether there's a subcategory in which your site would fit?
 

dankeschön! :)
it was listed regionally because the site is austria-based and has many events in austria (ONLY in austria)

you can't see it with netscape?? that's strange.

no I didn't check the subcategories, shall I search and add it again or would that be regarded as spam?

No. each site _may_ not be _listed_ at all. But each site may be _considered_ for listing regionally and thematically. And your site is conceptually listed in both already.

How? Well, as has been pointed out, World: Deutsch: Gesellschaft: Religion und Spiritualität: Christentum is a very general category, and any site should be listed in the most specific category that it fits. Casting my eye over the W/D/G/R&amp;S/C subcategories, I see -- "Österreich@" -- well, THAT'S an obvious fit.

But the "Österreich@" "logical" subcategory IS simply the category where the site is listed: "World: Deutsch: Regional: Europa: Österreich: Gesellschaft: Religion und Spiritualität: Christentum."

This keeps us from having to list EVERY Austrian Christianity site twice; it keeps us from having to deal with every submittal twice; it gives us a way to collect all the appropriate submittals regardless of whether the submitter was surfing the Regional categories or the Society categories.

Generally speaking, a site is NEVER (what, never? no, never? what, NEVER? well, NEVER EVER!) listed in two categories which can be reached from each other with one click. What would be the the point? (Users who know how to use a directory will know which "related categories" to look in; other users will have to learn how to use the directory before anything we do will be effective for them.)

Don't forget we do have the Deutsch language forum for German speakers: allowing you to ask questions in your own native language and communicate with editors that are knowledgable about the World/Deutsch branch of the ODP.

&lt;/end advertisement&gt;
