Just found it similar

Hello Dmoz,

Looking around was great experience, found many information. Came across a common site listed many places, I don't know whether that should be ok with dmoz or not, as to list my site I had read somewhere you don't list any site more then once, if that's true then look for your self here.

Websites may be considered for listing in multiple language categories -- the "one suggestion per site" submittal policy is only applied within each language.

It's also not unusual for a large international manufacturing firm to have multiple listings: and there's no problem with that. The "one suggestion per site" rule doesn't limit editors from listing those sites more than once, if appropriate.

The "one suggestion per site" rule is intended to squelch arrogant morons who say things like "look how many listings cnn.com has! Why you won't deeplink every post I ever made in a drunken stupor to my political-rants blog?" or "Walmart has five listings, why can't my affiliate Vstore storefront be listed in a separate category for every separate klitch item I advertise?" or "Look at all those Geocities listings...and I've suggested my site at least that many times with NOT ONE SINGLE LISTING to show for it..."

I swear, I couldn't make this up. You can find them all in this forum, names only slightly changed....

Problems found...

While using the directory to locate sites that carried specific items I am hunting, I found the following items:


Errors found in Top: Shopping: Clothing: Ethnic and Regional: North American: Hawaiian

Aloha Express - Under construction

Aloha Trading Company - coming soon

Banana Jack - non working link errors

Blue Hawaii Online - hijacked

Pineapple Club-server error

Pupule Tropical Clothing-domain for sale

Rainbow Gifts Hawaii-listed twice

I didn't follow all the links in that category, but the above were the included in the links I did try.

Wishing we had a listing, but cleaning it up instead...

http://dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Mortgages/Calculators/

Barrons Mortgage Group, Ltd. - Over 30 mortgage and personal financial calculators. (http://www.barronsmtg.com/calculators.htm) - does not seem to be live.

FinderEdge Software - Offers a schedule amortization calculator for loan, bond, insurance, mortgage amortization tables, and Canadian mortgage amortization schedules. (http://www.fineredge.com/) Maybe it's me, but after three clicks I couldn't even find a calculator.

HomeCalcs - Calculators for the real estate professionals to purchase for their web sites. (http://www.homecalcs.com/). This one redirects.

Interest Rate Calculator - Java-based mortgage calculator with amortization charts and tables. (http://www.interestratecalculator.com/) Is it really necessary to provide address and phone number just to calculate a mortgage payment?

Sksi.com - Mortgage and loan calculators for realtors, lenders, brokers and consumers (http://www.sksi.com/) This site has a nice picture of a calculator that redirects to another site. Shame shame.

We've got about 80 original calculators on our site (complete with instructions and sometimes even how to intepret the results). But we've already got our one listing and... Well we've argued this before.

Re: item2888
@Ivan Bajlo - Sorry it took me so long to get back to this.

http://www.monitor.hr/jutarnji/ seems to be unconnected to http://www.jutarnji.hr/ and is still functioning (one broken link would not get it delisted) so the URL cannot be changed/updated as would eg. a domain that actually changed urls, but provided the same content as the old url.

Feel free to suggest the http://www.jutarnji.hr/ for a listing through normal channels.

Also, if you continue to have concerns about the http://www.monitor.hr/jutarnji/ listing, you can use the Update Request feature to have a World editor take a look.

Thanks :)

item2965 is done.

Banana Jack - I did get an error on a couple of links, but the rest of the site links/shopping cart, etc seem to work fine.

Rainbow Gifts - I think hutcheson summed this up well in 2964, specifically

  • Item 2978 has been dealt with.
  • Item 2979 still needs processed by someone who speaks the language, I have unreviewed the site because its obviously parked but cannot update the URL without being able to read the language. :D

Thanks! :)
