This page has a bad title tag. IE is not displaying the text on the page, which reads “DQNN has merged with www.dragonquest.us”. FireFox and Netscape browsers are ignoring the error. Opera is displaying the text along with the title tag.

There is a typo in the html; they forgot the opening < in the </title> tag.

The page referenced in http://dmoz.org/Games/Video_Games/R...Warrior_Series/
as Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior News Network http://dqnn.alefgard.com/ is pointed to a new presence at www.draginquest.us but that page is just a registrar's default parked domain page with the usual collection of advertising links.

Mat1,
In #1710 you have once again pointed out a main listing with two deeplinks. As already explained, this is an acceptable practice at the discretion of the editor. On the other hand, if the problem you are pointing out is with the title, description, or site content, an Italian speaking editor will need to take a look.

mat1: I know editor conspiracy theories are all the rage in some corners of the asylum, but there are several other possible causes of inappropriate listings that historically have proven much more common.

I did not bring it to that level, besides that conspiracy does exist in all parts of our society, if so, there might be some in odp too. Whatever, there are 2 main listings for that site, 1 english, 1 italian +2 deeplinks in italian. Personally, I doubt that this specific page justifies 5 listings in odp.
So yes have some editor review them.

The site: http://www.ovations.ca/ is a 'domain parking page'

The site: http://www.perfect-circle.freeuk.com/ has nothing to do with stationery or logo design (wrong category?)

Logo Office (http://www.logooffice.com/contact.asp) Logo Solutions (http://www.logosolution.co.uk/contact.asp) are the same company operating two 'fraternal' sites.

NB:
Perfect circle does seem to do stationery design - http://www.perfect-circle.freeuk.com/services.html

I've deleted the logo solutions site - since there was no clear indication of which was the master site I just picked one.

Yes, I did see that. However, isn't the category http://dmoz.org/Business/Marketing_and_Advertising/Advertising/Design_Services/Logo_and_Stationery/ a sub-category of 'design services' for sites that 'specialize' in logo and/or stationery aspects of design? Stationery design is merely listed on that page as part of an 'all in' menu of typical design services.

Yes, I did see that. However, wouldn't the category http://dmoz.org/Business/Marketing_and_Advertising/Advertising/Design_Services/Logo_and_Stationery/ be a sub-category of 'design services' for sites that 'specialize' in logo and/or stationery aspects of the upstream 'design services'?

Hello

we have a site listed in DMOZ 4 different categories.
1 month ago we purchased new domain and move all content to this new domain. on old domain we put 301 redirect, so all old links from first domain are redirected to right url-s on the second domain (links from DMOZ dir too).

i understand, that as we have permanet redirect, all our links from old domain are working, but i think, that it will be nice, if in dmoz dir will be listed new domain, instead of old one.

can u advise, what i must do?
find all categories, where are listed links to my domain and contact moderators ? or i can put here links to this categories and site urls (i don't going to change any description)?

thank you very much

Use the "Update Listing" link in each of the categories listed to notify the editors that the URL has changed.

Re 1737 - both listings have English versions.

Re 1738 - the correct listing appears to be http://www.domino-dortmund.de/ - someone should come along soon who can fix that one
