40 Inline Skating Pages That No Longer Exist

I created the pages listed below when I was the inline skating editor for About.com, but I left About.com in 2003, and the pages were taken off-line about a year later, when they hired a new editor. When one of the ODP editors has a chance, can these pages please be removed from Open Directory, since they no longer exist? I believe they are all listed in regional per-country and per-state "sports and recreation" categories.

inappropriate content / "Offers collars, show and jeweled bows"~Description inaccurate offers NO bows

Looks like it offered bows at one time, because it has bows in its own title meta tag.

In the cat http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Provinces/Bangkok/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Hotels/, there are some half dozen or so listings that are domains of accorhotels-asia.com. All of these go to a general site map rather than to the individual hotels - it seems they reformatted their internal structure such that the ODP listings don't work as they should. The correct respective urls are listed within this site map.

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Provinces/Chiang_Mai/Arts_and_Entertainment/,
Chiang Mai National Museum - "principle museum" should read "principal museum". I am probably the one responsible for this error and would like to point out the mistake so that it may be corrected.
