I've had a go at some, some were already done, I think I got them, but it's hard working from search results, please use the category path in future reports.

As for the dual listings in both Niagra categories - thats one of the exceptional cases allowed to editors. Guidelines are at http://editors.dmoz.org/guidelines/regional/listing.html#Choosing , but what it boils down to is that it would not serve the users to have a single listing at the lowest category that covered both locations (North America level), so they were listed in both Locations.

Incorrect/Mis-leading Listing

This listing goes to the correct url but has nothing to do with the listing and category.

http://www.bonitasecrets.com/

http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Plus-Size/Women's/Lingerie/Exotic/

Looks like handbags .... weird


This listing goes to the correct page but the site has broken images for every single product.

Dead links

Hello,

Two dead links in: Top: Games: Gambling: Lotteries: Software and Tools:

- Lotto Mechanic
- Lotto Buster


BTW: I sent an application to become an editor for this category several times with no success. Along this time, I reported like 6 dead links for the category.

Thanks
