I think you're confusing "add" with "suggest".

Members of the public are only able to suggest sites to the ODP, for us to consider adding. All such suggestions have to be reviewed by a volunteer editor to ensure they meet our site selection criteria. The editor then has to check that the category is appropriate and (if necessary) correct the title and description to meet our Editing Style Guidelines.

All this takes time, and with a large number of suggestions, and only a finite number of volunteer editors, we are unable to offer any set time scale for when a particular URL suggestion will be reviewed.

If you've already suggested your site (and got the "thank you for your suggestion" confirmation screen) then you've done all you can do. There's no need to suggest it again, and nothing you can do to speed up the review process.

You'll find more information in the FAQ of this forum.

Everyone is welcome to apply regardless of whether there are others named as editors in a category. Since no editor owns a category there are always 200 or more editors that can and will work on categories directory wide, so there is no way to know 'which' editor you are talking about when asking the question and it actually doesn't really matter as there are many others that can also edit there.

If you are interested in becomnig an editor then you should read Becoming an Editor and
FAQ-Becoming an editor
which provide more information and advice.

Also to note that editors list sites in the directory for the use/benefit of those seeking sites and information, not as an aid/service to the webmasters of said sites. Any benefit(s) that may acrue to the site and its owner is incidental and irrelevant to the function of the ODP.

You already received an answer to that in this thread:
