Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...es/Business_and_Economy/Restaurants_and_Bars/

I encountered an issue I wanted to bring to your attention:

Format Changed. Site has morphed from a restaurant directory into a generic directory.

Best Local Restaurants Online - Directory of restaurants south of the river. By city, or by cuisine.

Dec 2007 Wayback. Last time site was still a restaurant directory.

I encountered an issue I wanted to bring to your attention:

URL Changed. Rake magazine seems to have been incorporated into a larger site. I searched around and pasted the correct deeplink below.

The Rake - Free monthly magazine poised between the entertainment weekly newspapers and the monthly city magazines. Arts, features, investigative journalism, columns, events.

Correct URL.

Thanks for all the reports!

Items #4238 - 4298 done, except for the following:
- item #4250 - a new site will be launched shortly, according to the site.
- item #4252 - posted in the Swedish language section asking for a Swedish speaker to see if http://www.mobyson.se/ (the URL it redirects to) is listable instead.
- item #4253 - redirects to http://www.interbirim.com/ and I asked a Turkish speaking editor to have a look if that site is listable instead.
- item #4275 - what's exactly the problem? Page loads fine. I am willing to ask an Italian speaking editor to look at it, but I don't know what exactly to ask.
- item #4297 - URL works fine for me. What exactly is the problem for you, or does the page load fine for you, too, right now?

Re #4306 Christoffel

Hi!

- item #4297 - URL works fine for me. What exactly is the problem for you, or does the page load fine for you, too, right now?

Actually, I'm not sure how I let that one through. Originally it was dead so, I placed it on my dead list to revisit in a few days. I do remember re-checking it and it worked. Somehow, it slipped in when I was going through my list reporting all the other dead links.

Sorry about that.

Regards,
NCMan
