Found out from lufiaguy (editor for News/Alternative) when trying to move categories that morons.org had its link nuked from News/Magazines_and_Ezines/Ezines because of a failed experiment with ODP data that was missing attribution and that we neglected to remove when it was clear we weren't going anywhere with it. Apologies for that.

The offending data that lacked a citation has been removed from http://web.morons.org/directory/ and will not return (or at least not without proper attribution should we decide to try a similar experiment in the future).

Again, sorry for that slip-up. No harm was intended. 'Twas an oversight which I hope I have now corrected to everyone's satisfaction.

If there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know.

Thanks,

---Nick

Thanks! Is it correct to assume it's a discussion for another forum about moving the site to News/Alternative? (I think that's a better fit for morons.org in its now-evolved state, as there are similar sites already in that category, notably Peaceful Action, Progress Report and UnderReported.)

As the site is awaiting a fresh review I would recommend that you wait until it appears and see where it is chosen to be listed at that time.

If, after that, you feel the category is not appropriate then use the 'update url' link at the top of the page to put forward your request and bringing to the attention of the editor why you feel a category change is needed.
