Is a submision status requested by simply posting here? If so, what is the status of

http://www.laydenandkirk.com/

It has not been a full month since submission and there is no rush. This post is just a request for a confirmation that the aforementioned site was submitted properly.

Posting here is pretty much all you need to do. You've missed an important point outlined in the [thread=396]Posting Guidelines[/thread] however: a clickable link to the http://dmoz.org/ category in which the submission was made.

There is no difference to us between a "confirmation that the [...] site was submitted properly" and a "submision status", so you'll have to wait until a month has passed since you submitted the site before getting a response on this. At that time you should bump this thread back up to the top of the list by posting a reply to it. (And don't forget about the dmoz.org URL when you do.) Thanks for your patience.

No rush - just checking (note the following quote from the last post in this thread).

"At that time you should bump this thread back up to the top of the list by posting a reply to it."

Thank you.

It seems you missed part of the note from above which also stated that we need a clickable link to the category you submitted the site.

The category may have been;

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...ess_and_Economy/Construction_and_Maintenance/

but I do not remember. The "www.laydenandkirk.com" website registered here represents a marine construction business serving the NC and VA coastal areas.

I have not looked at the site, but I would assume from your last posting taht the category you remember (even if you submitted there) is not the correct one.

Regional listings are almost always on the basis of where a company is located, rather than on the area or market they serve.

Thus, I would assume that the correct category would be within the locality where the company is located.

If this is the case, then go ahead and resubmit to the correct locality, in turn, we pledge that we will not send "Vito" over to rearrange your kneecaps.

donwiebe · Aug 11, 2004

I ca'n't find a submission for that URL in that category, and there is no record of it having been reviewed. Please do as spectregunner suggests, and resumit the site, once, to the most appropriate category. Record the category path and then return here in a month for another status update.

Regarding:

"Regional listings are almost always on the basis of where a company is located ..."

The company is located in the coastal area where NC and VA touch each other. That is why the site was listed in the aforementined fashion.

I will do as you have instructed - in what DMOZ category should the site be listed (the "www.LaydenAndKirk.com" website represents a marine construction business in the NC/VA coastal area)?

Incidentally, I will endeavor to do better in the future to avoid such an encounter with "Vito."

It should be placed in the appropriate subcat within the locality where the company has its main office. The main offices are most likely not located in the coastal area where NC and VA touch each other, but rather are within a locality/municipality/city/town/village that encompasses all or part of the coastal area where NC and VA touch each other.

104 Enterprise Dr Elizabeth City, NC 27909, might be a good starting place, since that appears to be where the newspaper gets delivered, so the appropriate category would be Regional/North_America/United_States/North_Carolina/Localities/E/Elizabeth_City/Business_and_Economy/

After reading again the instructions listed on the DMOZ site, and considering that the site represents a very specific type of commercial construction business - only marine construction - which both designs and builds, and that of a very particular kind (absolutely not a general contractor), the most appropriate DMOZ category seems to be:

http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Construction_and_Maintenance/Design/Design-Build/Commercial/

Hence, I have now registered the site:

www.laydenandkirk.com

site in the:

http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Construction_and_Maintenance/Design/Design-Build/Commercial/

DMOZ category.

Hopefully, I completed this second registration process (which produced the same "registration submission received" page seen about a month ago) properly. Thanks folks for your help.

Just checking on the status of the "www.laydenandkirk.com" submission. Nothing is found today via the DMOZ search when "layden and kirk" is entered as the search criteria.

dogbows · Sep 16, 2004

I do not have editing rights in that category so I cannot give the status. However, if your site meets the criteria for a listing at all, then you are allowed one Topical listing and one Regional listing. I would suggest that you take advantage of this and suggest the site in the appropiate Regional category mentioned by Spectregunner in his earlier post. Not always, but sometimes Regional suggestions manage to get reviewed faster than the Topical suggestions. Who knows, you just might end up with two listings. Neither suggestion will help or hinder the other.

motsa · Sep 16, 2004

And Hertford, NC looks like it would be the right locality.

Okay, if a second DMOZ listing - a regional listing - is permitted, in addition to the Aug 11, 2004 topical listing already submitted, then what is the proper action required to obtain the second listing - the regional DMOZ listing?

One of the two associated business locations is indeed in the locality specified by motsa - specifically:

http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/North_Carolina/Localities/H/Hertford/

dogbows · Sep 16, 2004

Well obviously motsa saw something I did not, and the address that spectregunner mentioned is no longer evident on the site. I see no address at all, but perhaps the phone number is the clue. No matter, if motsa said that would be the right locality, then that would be where I would submit it. Just go to that category at dmoz.org and click suggest, or submit URL.

It has been a couple of months since reposting. A search in DMOZ for "layden and kirk" produced

"No Open Directory Project results found"

Since this thread has moved to the second page. Here are the two clickable links to the categories you submitted to.

I see it waiting review in the Biz/C&M cat but not in Hertford.
