Hello,

I wanted to submit a URL in spanish and... I did it on the wrong place. I should have gone through the WORLD section and submited it as if it were in English. I can't find a place to correct that mistake or to contact anyone to confess my error. I know submitting it twice is twice as bad, so I can't do that. The URL I submited was http://www.susmedicos.com under the "plastic surgery" category, that's ok except it should have been under the WORLD section. Can anyone help me please?

Many thanks.

Don't sweat it. I think half of the other-language submittals are in English categories. We monolingual editors just shift them over to the nearest World category when we see them.

But you can still help us. Just go find the right world category and suggest it again.

Two suggestions isn't going to get you on anyone's list of Top Ten Million Spammers.

Thanks.

Jesus Christ, a second submission?
Ok, I'll trust you..... and I'll do it.

Thank you so much for your quick answer.

Best regards

Think of it this way, and the answer will be obvious.

ODP site suggestion is NOT a way for malicious or greedy serp perps to request (or demand) services from the ODP editors.

It's a way for surfers to help the ODP by telling us about sites that might be useful, at the exact moment when we're looking for that kind of sites.

Whatever you do is probably helpful if it's something you'd do for your competitor, or for another interesting site you find. Whatever you do only to promote your own site, is spam.

Mistakes are not a reason for the ODP editors to deny their rightful duty to provide that service -- they just happen. We just fix them if it's worth it to us, leave it for someone else to fix if it's not.

If you know about a mistake -- yours or anyone else's -- submittal or live edit -- then fixing it, or telling us about it so we can fix it, would be a help. What's a help can never be spam. And we thank you.

I did it yesterday but I didn't receive any reply. When I did it wrong (out of the WORLD category) I got an acknowledgement, but this time I got nothing. Was it perhaps because it wasn't a working day?

There's never a reply, if by "reply" you mean an e-mail message. There should have been a web page saying something like "thanks for the suggestion." Is THAT what you didn't get?

The ODP doesn't have holidays. It just has "days on which more people are able to edit more because R/L work isn't holding them back."

Thanks for answering. It was a message asking me to reply in order to confirm my address. The subject was "opendir - f9c510e3c9f869085ecab48c79d06d33". I might be confused and maybe that's the one I got for my application as editor, but I have no means to determine that. The reason why I think that might be the case is because the email was in spanish....

And this is the text:

That would be the email you received as a result of your editor application.
