Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Arts_a...nd_Events/North_America/United_States/Oregon/

I encountered the following issues I wanted to bring to your attention.


Parking Page

Profile Photo - Wedding Photojournalism in Portland, Oregon.​


Incorrect Category Message on landing page states the photographer is Washington DC based. He must have moved.

Stephen Voss Photography - Wedding, portrait, and commercial photographer. Portfolio of work. Portland Oregon​


Deceptive Link. Primarily a webdesign/hosting company. Presented itself for ODP submission as a photographer and not long after being listed, what do you know but it began advertising webdesign/webhosting/IT services (see WayBack links below). A server side script presents different index pages per browser request. To see what I mean, click the title link and when you hit the landing page, refresh your browser 5 or 6 times.

Todd Derek Photography - Wedding & portrait photographer. Portfolio of work. Located in Oregon​


Wayback from Feb 05, 2005. Strictly presenting itself as a photographers site.

http://web.archive.org/web/20050205192453/http://www.toddderek.com/​


WayBack next looked at this site April 23, 2006 and it is a webdesign/webhost/IT consulting site that also does some photography.

http://web.archive.org/web/20060430004614/www.toddderek.com/index4.lasso​

WayBack shows that the site was not yet added into this category as of OCt 21, 2004.

http://web.archive.org/web/20041021...nd_Events/North_America/United_States/Oregon/​

For whatever reason, WayBack didn't look at this ODP category again until Jan 28, 2006 at which point this site had been listed.
