I submitted my site 3 years ago. It's a scientific website. It's currently most popular in it's filed. articles are quite exclusive, we have a good page rank and highest number of visitors in our field. and I add it in correct category in DMOZ
but it not listed yet!!!!
That's quite funny.
Is there anybody out there?!!! if you're so busy that you can't add a site after 3 years, please close site registration and stop people of wasting their time here.

You might have misunderstood our objectives and how we operate here. ODP is a volunteer organisation building a directory as a hobby. Editors edit where they wish, when they wish and as much as they wish within the constraints of their permissions. We have no schedules or systems to force people to do work that they don't volunteer to do. ODP is not primarily a free listing service for website owners and it does not attempt to process their listing suggestions within the time scales desired by them.

Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one.

so please let more people work here as volunteer.

We accept all applicants who demonstrate:

- Integrity
- Adequate communications skills in the category's language
- An understanding of the category requested
- Attention to detail

Which of those requirements do you think we should relax :)?

All those requirements are necessary and I believe I have them. Can I be an editor ? I also know Farsi and I can help in this section.

If you want to become an editor you will have to apply on DMOZ.
start with reading the thread http://www.resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1283 with FAQ and general advise

we not have open applications that are so old
if you ask about the status of your application (in the right part of this forum) we can look at what happened
first read http://www.resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10603 for the info we need to identify your application

I could find 2 applications that used the same name as you do here (sashaiel), one or both might be yours but neither of them is from 2 years ago
with the required info we can identify which application was yours

Some volunteer meta editor or catmod who understands the language will evaluate your application. Be aware that we have very few of those so it might take quite a while.

or at less let me know why you may reject it
As usual (and as in 2009), we'll send you an email when we've made our decision.

If it's going to take several week please let me know. I can send my request in English language. I send application in Persian language because application form was designed in Persian. (and actually I was wondering which language should I use)

We request that the application is written in the language of the category as we need to know if you are capable of understanding that language enough.

Quality issues can be reported in the Quality Control Feedback part of this forum http://www.resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showforum=11
but please provide more info than just the category and url, we need to know why you think a site should not be listed anymore

Persian is my native language so of course i'm understanding!
did you checked those sites? can you explain relation between a well known Tech site an this site: "[background=rgb(247, 247, 247)]www.aft.ir/[/background]" ?!!
or this blog : "[background=rgb(247, 247, 247)]p30softs.blogspot.com[/background]" that contain 1 page with useless info and,...
I just took a quick look but that was enough to understand that these sites are totally spam with no useful info. someone who accept these sites had no idea about a good website or maybe these are his personal websites. that's obvious

No, I did not check those sites. I am not able to read that language. So I am not able to review them.
Please remember that websites do change after being listed in DMOZ. What you are now seeing at the website might not be the content the editor saw while reviewing it. We put a lot of time in quality control but are unable to spot everything. That is why we are always happy if people do mention sites with problmes. Please use the appropriate thread to tell us about them. If you do not want to post on this forum about issues you can also use the "update listing" to mention problems directly on DMOZ. That link can be found at the top of the categiry the website is listed in. As there are no Perian speaking editors on this forum (as far as I know) in this case using DMOZ directly might be thee best as it will bring the issues directly visible for Perian speaking editors.

Ok. I think I need to explain two things here.
First, I started this topic with title "I submitted my site...". Actually the site I submitted on dmoz <URL removed> is not my site but I was one its writers before. It's the most famous and popular Persian language website in space and astronomy. I requested twice in past 3 years for adding this site to dmoz but it's not added yet. While there are some totally useless and spam sites in related category.
So according to the first point, and also according to useless sites currently listed in Persian section of dmoz, I don't think anybody reviewed these sites and absolutely there is no quality control in this section.
I'm not agree with you about change of websites content. Because usually famous and well-known websites will remain and they keep their data, they'll not change easily.
You said people who work in Dmoz are volunteers. I like to help because I know I can do that very well, but it need your trust. If you can't trust me and if you can't let me be a part of dmoz as an editor, how do you expect me to help?
Why Should I spend my time when I see your current Persian editor (or editors) is not deserved to be an editor here? You don't need reasons to why remove current sites. There is so much. You give me only one reason that why you listed these sites on dmoz?
And If you don't have any Persian language editors currently, and If you don't like me (because of the way I'm talking), you better find some new editors because obviously Dmoz list for Persian language websites need a change.

> I don't think anybody reviewed these sites and absolutely there is no quality control in this section.
Sites can only be listed after they have been reviewed by one of DMOZ editors. So your thought is wrong.
It can be that there is not enough quality control in certain sections of the directory. But with the limited time our editors have available that is something we will have to live with.
I have told you previously how you can be of help. Post in the right section of this forum or make an update request on DMOZ. We will need more than just the url, we also want to know why somethings should be done. Just saying that your idea is that listings are not good is not a reason.

> I'm not agree with you about change of websites content.
We told the truth. I can not change your ideas that the truth is different.

> You said people who work in Dmoz are volunteers. I like to help because I know I can do that very well, but it need your trust. If you can't trust me and
> if you can't let me be a part of dmoz as an editor, how do you expect me to help?
We told you that you will need to wait on the evaluation of your application. You will receive an email when it is processed. It can take some time as Persian is not a language spoken by many Meta editors.

The submission guidelines at http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/add.html are linked from the 'suggest URL'. form. You acknowledged that you'd read them on each occasion.

Also see http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/guidelines/include.html
