#2005 - all of these problems were dealt with by another editor on 10 January. Are you perhaps looking at the Google Directory, which reflects the state of play in our directory some weeks ago?

Please do not use this thread to promote your own websites or urge review of them. It will achieve nothing, except possibly the closure of the QC forum here if too many people try to use it in this way. When I tell you that we have thousands of submissions each day, I'm sure you will see that it would be madness for us to convey the impression that the best way to get a rapid review is to post in this thread!

#2006 dealt with thanks.

#2007 dealt with, thanks.

The US Commercial Service listings seem OK to me. These are for local offices. (Again these deep links were not submitted, but listed by an editor with no connection to the website.)
