Do a good job with the first category, and read the internal forums on that very subject.

I have another last question. Can I edit the other 2 URLs' description? I mean if the real description is different, but I write what I think it would be.

arubin · Apr 9, 2004

What do you mean by "edit" ... the description?

You should write as descriptions for the sites (including your own -- although I thought I recalled reading that you couldn't use your own site as one of the three) what ODP wants for a description. This may not resemble what the site owners would want as description or what they have on the home page. You describe what's there, in the format we want, not what the owner thinks is there or what the owner would like to be there.

Sorry. I just cleaned out a Real Estate category in one of my Regional sections.

Your application should contain 2 or 3 (preferably three, especially if one of them is your own site) URLs not already listed in the category that would fit. You should then write a concise description for each of them, using the same process we just ran through, and use that on the application.

Hope that clarifies.

That description isn't completely perfect though since you applied to Computers/Multimedia/MPEG/DivX which means that "DivX" should not be in any description unless the sentence makes no sense without it (that should be rare). Unfortunately the descriptions that were already in the category didn't follow that guideline, so I just changed them all. If you're accepted you'll have to update your description to remove the word too.

We have this rule because saying a site is about DivX is redundant when it's in the DivX category.

Ummm, you're applying to be an editor aren't you?

That is one of the things that editors do; they edit titles and descriptions!

I've submitted before like a day ago. Can anybody check if my application is recieved? I want to be sure.

donaldb · Apr 10, 2004

Your most recent application is waiting to be reviewed.

ironhacker · Apr 12, 2004

Hmmm...still no answer. Last time was about 10 minutes maximum.

Can someone review it for me?

I would be very gladful.

Well, the only thing you can do is wait. The fact that it hasn't already been rejected should be seen as a sign that you are at least making SOME progress. Some applications can take a lot longer than a few days to get approved.

Please be patient.

OMG, you got all this coaching - and it was a lot of coaching - and now you're unhappy about a wait of more than 10 minutes?

How often do people try to become editors to get their own sites listed? Must be pretty frequent I'd guess.

ironhacker · Apr 24, 2004

No, you're wrong. If someone offers me to get my site listed without me being a n editor I won't take it. I am submitting my site, because I think it's helpful.

I've applied before like a month ago.
