Poor Content Listed

Hi,

The following category has some problems that needs fixing.

Sports: Resources: Directories

1.Sports Resource Zone and Sports Free Stuff and Screensavers= Same site; listed twice.

2.Sports Search Engine=Don't work; php errors. Has been like this for weeks now.

3.Web Sportsman= No Page Found

4.Scoreboard News= listed twice

5.100 Hot Sports= Should be listed under the search engine category.

6.Do What When Sports= For a few days now I've clicked this link and taken to a login box.

7.Baldeggs Sports Directory= Reads at the bottom of my screen, "Under Contruction."

Thank you.

Regards,
RazSports

Thanks for the report. We appreciate help in finding items that shouldn't be listed. I don't have editing permissions there, but someone will be along presently.

For future reference:

Please use the "Report Hijacks, Dead Links & Inappropriate ODP Content Here ONLY" thread in the future.

To make getting to the content easier, please use the fully qualified URL of the category you're referring to, i.e., http://dmoz.org/Sports/Resources/Directories .

Giving the title of the listing, as you've done, is more helpful than just the URL, but the URL also helps us confirm that we're looking at the same thing you are, so please provide both.

Thank you.

Thank you! I've fixed the ones that needed fixing - Do What When Sports worked fine for me so maybe you encountered a technical glitch of some kind.

Hi Nea,

How long until the fixings take into effect? I ask because the bad links(content) still show up. Thank you.

At the page at dmoz.org, they should update within 4 days--sometimes the server is backlogged generating pages and it takes longer, but does not appear to be the case at the moment. (There are also three servers and they don't update all at the same time.)

In case you are looking at a data user like Google, it won't update until they take a new copy of the RDF, in which case, we have no idea when they will update.

Broken Links

I found two(2) links that do not work at: http://dmoz.com/Sports/Baseball/Directories/

1. Baseball Directory by String Bikini.com (page cannot be found). This has been the case for the past three(3) days.

2. Link Athletics.com-Baseball(page cannot be found).

I will continue to browse all categories

Thanks,

We thank you for your work, but you really should be doing what wrathchild said in item #2 of this thread and using the thread that is intended for this purpose.

Thanks.
