Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/South_Dakota/Localities/P/Pierre/Health/

I encountered the following issue I wanted to bring to your attention:

Content Irrelevant to Category. The title promises a local listing of physicians, allergists and clinics. The category is Pierre, SD. The landing page contains just generic allergy information. Nothing specific to the category.

Pierre Allergists - A local listing of allergy physicians, allergists, and clinics.​

A few easy ones

Hello. Just a couple of trivial things someone might like to look at if they are bored, and which aren't worth individual Update Requests. :)

1. Some typos: anonomous, anonimous, and annonymous.

2. I know editors are encouraged to list RSS, Atom etc feeds in addition to the "normal" URL, but it seems they aren't always selecting the appropriate radio button. So the two URLs remain listed next to each other, often with identical titles and descriptions, which makes it look like duplication and may lead to misunderstandings. The examples below are from http://www.dmoz.org/Society/People/Personal_Homepages/Weblogs/W/ but I'm sure there are more examples of this, and perhaps someone has a QC tool for checking.
WombatNation - A weblog about tools written with VoiceXML and Python, and intellectual property issues.
WombatNation - Writes about speech applications, soccer, hacking, intellectual property, and incinerating toilets.
...
Writing My Name in Water - A personal weblog featuring diary entries, photos I've taken, and commentary on personal growth, art, improv, acting, aesthetics, and other interests.
Writing My Name in Water - A personal weblog featuring diary entries, photos I've taken, and commentary on personal growth, art, improv, acting, aesthetics, and other interests.

3. Also in that category I noticed the title "Wink & Blink -->All your Sorrows will be gone*", so I went on to search for that improperly formatted symbol. I think all these might have been typed as arrows?

Cheers! :)

1. I left the two misspellings that were the actual title of the site and the website address.

2. Fixed those two - someone else found a whole bunch of them that will be slowly worked through (these two might be in that list).

3. Those look good on the editor side - I'll make a note of it in the internal forum.

4. I miss seeing you in the internal forums.

Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/South_Dakota/Counties/Lawrence/

I encountered the following issue I wanted to bring to your attention:

URL Changed. Site provides a 404 redirect. No new URL listed although, I provided one below for you to consider that I think is correct

Lawrence County South Dakota GenWeb - Genealogy and local history.​

From other 404's I've encountered with this outfit, I suspect they want you to replace the title link with the following URL:

http://sdgenweb.com/lawrence/​

NCMan

Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...ties/L/Lead/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/

I encountered the following issue I wanted to bring to your attention:

Incorrect Category/Hijacked Link/URL Ownership Changed. One of the three appears to have happened since the company is definitely not a real estate company.

Dakota Gold Realty - Full-service real estate, including residential, land, rental properties and commercial. Serves the Lead and Deadwood areas.​

Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_.../Localities/S/Spearfish/Business_and_Economy/

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

Duplicate Entry in Category/Page Not Found. Title link is redirected to a generic page. When I tried the dealer locator, I couldn't find a Johnson Ford in Spearfish, SD. This is also a duplicate of the next entry.

Johnson Ford Lincoln Mercury - New vehicles sales and service. Provides you with a direct link to the facility, as well as access to all of the web enabled capabilities that are offered by the company.​


Company Name Changed. Either the dealership name changed to Integrity Ford or, the webhost found a new client.

Johnson Ford Lincoln Mercury - New and used inventory, location, hours of operation and events.​

NCMan

1. Thanks. Yes, if the webmaster puts the typo in his own site title I agree it should stay.
2. Thanks, I thought that might be the case.
3. Thanks. Worth knowing.
4. Ditto. :blues:

RE; #3893

Confirm attempted malware downloads. The last two can be avoided by turning off scripting in the browser but the FrameZ is embedded in the page. It is caught be some AV programs but I can't speak to all of them.

Not only does it appear dead, it wouldn't belong in that category, but in B&E: Beauty and Cosmetic Services. In fact, most of the sites don't belong in that category. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
