Hiya,

I found sereval domains, who were regged after being dead and are in dmoz.
The content is on every domain thesame PPC in Holland, so this isn't good.

Here they are:

http://www.soroptimistclub-vpr.nl
http://www.123-vierdaagse.nl
http://www.salesprobusinessconsulting.nl
http://www.websuite.nl
http://www.demooistearbeidsvoorwaarden.nl
http://www.www-web.nl
http://www.artissum.nl
http://www.designplus.nl
http://www.extremeproductions.nl
http://www.online-etiketten.nl

Good luck and i hope they get unregged in DMOZ

1. Energy Policy & Planning Office - Does this go under Gov't, it's the Ministry of Energy?

2. National Science and Technology Development Agency - An agency that may also go under Gov't? Furthermore, this agency oversees (and has deeplinks to) the 2 listings above it and the one below (Nectec), so I wonder if those links should be there as well or even listed as they're on this site?

3. The Thai Astronomical Society - All in Thai (listing even says so!).

4. Thai Palms - This is just a private company selling palms and seeds.

5. Wild Animal Rescue Foundation of Thailand - Maybe move to Organizations?

6. Wildlife Fund Thailand - A homepage that has very little info on it.


http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Science_and_Environment/Organizations/

1. Environmental Tourism Consultants - Part of Asia Web Direct, so shouldn;t be listed I think. This also goes for bangkok.com and gothailand.com which would also be listed improperly. (See http://editors.dmoz.org/editors/editcat.cgi?cat=Bookmarks/B/bilfar/Potential_Problems for these and a few other problems).

2. Zoological Park Organization of Thailand - Is it possible to reduce the number of times the word "zoo" is mentioned?


http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Transportation/

1. Airline Ground Staff Thailand - The few links I clicked on were almost all in Thai.

2. Phromnares Aerospace & Defense - Didnt get anything from this site.

3. Smart Way Auto Service - An AOL site that yields a directory page that goes nowhere.

4. Straits Express (Thailand) - Under construction, wants you to go to previous site.

5. Thai Amadeus - Couldn;t load site.

6. Thailand Train Tickets - timetables, fares, and online bookings - Poor title.

----------

Thanks for your efforts.

Listed in these categories.
Top: Games: Online: Roleplaying: Science Fiction and Fantasy: Browser Based (42)
Top: Games: Video Games: Roleplaying: Browser Based (106)
Top: Games: Video Games: Strategy: Real-Time: Browser Based (62)

The site should be in
Top: Games: Video Games: Strategy: Turn-Based: Browser Based

I played the game. It's not a roleplaying game. I think the category Turn-Based suites better than Real-Time because the game updates every hour.

#1103 dealt with, thanks.

Dimension 2 Music has been moved to UK Shopping. The links are the top are just Google-supplied links, which are irrelevant. But you are right that businesses which only ship within the UK don't belong in the main Shopping tree.

#1105 dealt with, thanks. I imagine that Thai Palms was listed in S&E for its helpful encyclopedia of palms, but it is better placed in B&E. I haven't fiddled with the government agency listings.

#1113 - dealt with, thanks.

Now International originally had other content it seems. It is now a mirror and so has been removed.

#1114 dealt with, thanks. As I understand the Regional guidelines, a few of the listings you mention in Travel Agents can be left there, but if you wish to discuss this further, the internal forums would be the best place.

#1115 - the site is working fine for me in Firefox and IE. Perhaps there was a temporary problem.
