THE END

#2103 dealt with, thanks. No need to apologise for making work. You have done a great deal yourself and improved the directory thereby.

Sony Nuevo Laredo - looks like the content changed.

#2104 dealt with, thanks.

Laboratorium : "Catalog in English" leads to a dead end, but "English Web Site" does lead to plenty of content in English.

Wrong catagory, UK section, primarily UK, but does have USA, Australia, and Barcelona in it??

Sorry, mistake, this one.

#2108 and #2109 dealt with, thanks.

#2111 - The category seems fine to me. This is a directory of self catering rental accommodation in the UK & Ireland. It has some links at the bottom of the page to related sites for other parts of the world, but those don't make it a world-wide directory.

Shame on ODP

Obviously this DMOZ is pretty lame, the ODP (DMOZ) apparently does not take this project seriously and neglects this entire site. I posted the message quoted here 6 months ago. Of course nothing has been done about the listing, - I doubt anyone even looked at the message. DMOZ is a shameful project indeed, lacking in determination responsibilty and fraught with neglect. A disreputable source of mis-information.

Hello,

I posted the message quoted here 6 months ago.

If you had gone and checked the posts following your original request you would have noticed it was reviewed a couple of days after you posted it. (See item #1456 in this thread)

As mentioned in that particular post, if you want to suggest an update in the title or description, you should submit an update request. This thread is for quality control issues as stated in the first post.

Of course nothing has been done about the listing, - I doubt anyone even looked at the message.

Update requests can be declined if the suggested alterations do not follow our editorial guidelines.

Just to clarify. The above is absolutely true. Many update requests are ignored, because they do not meet our guidelines.

However - in this particular case the description was out of date and was rectified on 28 July 2005. The suggested new description was not used. Instead an accurate new description was created, similar to others in the category, removing the references to features no longer on the site.

Chickens - what makes you think that nothing was done about the listing?

I suspect chickens may be seeing the old description still turning up on users of our data.
