#1881 - just got to that one. Problem is that the official site for the Jewish Museum in Florence does not have a German version, which explains the emmeti.it link instead in World: Deutsch.

#1879 - a few deep links have been replaced by the official site or close enough. I am not touching the others, as I leave it to editors in World to judge whether the content warrants a listing.

#1882 dealt with, thanks.

Thought i would bring to your attention a couple of cats that need improvement.

Two sections of DMOZ cats that require attention:-

1st Cat - Top: Computers: Open Source: Employment (37)

A number of sites that are listed in this sector are to internal site pages with anchor links used rather than the correct site names and titles. I would guess the editor is inexperienced hence the number of errors which have never been picked up - this is the sort of thing that reflects badly on dmoz. Some of the sites already have at least three other DMOZ listings as well

The Following entries Need editing (7 in total) :-

Custom Programming – http://www.nyfreelancers.com
Site title needs to be changed to correct site name nyfreelancers.com

Freelance Programmers – http://www.bid4scripts.com
Site title needs to be changed to correct site name Bid4Scripts.com

Internet Vacancies – http://www.totaljobs.com/jobseekers/itinternet_new.asp
Remove – site has three other DMOZ listings, Title is wrong and it’s to a re-directed page anyway and it’s also an internal page also.

IT Jobs - http://information-technology.careerbuilder.com/?sc_cmp1=JS_JFALL_MPJT
Remove – site has three other DMOZ listings, Title is wrong and it’s to a sub domain site and it’s also an internal page.

IT Jobs UK – http://www.cwjobs.co.uk/JS/JobResults.asp
Remove – site has three other DMOZ listings, Title is wrong and it’s to a re-directed page anyway and it’s also an internal page.

Search Jobs – http://www.getafreelancer.com
Site title needs to be changed to correct site name getafreelancer.com

Search Software Jobs – http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/jobs/SearchJobs.asp
Site title is wrong, also it should be to home/index page not an internal page

The next cat also requires some editing work carried out (7 in total):-

2nd Cat - Top: Regional: Europe: United Kingdom: Business and Economy: Employment: Job Search (62)

Freetorecruit – http://www.freetorecruit.co.uk/
Website undergoing re-development – no content and has been this way for over 12 mths!

Jobs Discovery - http://www.jobdiscovery.co.uk/
Site – Coming Soon – Been like this for at least 6 mths!

Jobemploy Limited - http://www.jobemploy.co.uk/
No Content – just a page of sponsored adverts- links to betting, mobile phones, dating etc

Jobs Mate - http://www.jobsmate.co.uk/
No Content – it’s a recruitment agency site anyway – wrong sector

Recruitment Jobz - http://www.recruitmentjobz.com
No website on the net – Site Closed

UK Job Search Engine – http://jobs.gofish.co.uk
Site under construction – a sub domain as well and not listed correctly either.

Missing from list to be put back:-
Redgoldfish Jobs – Job search portal providing details of UK vacancies by trade or location.
URL: - http://www.redgoldfish.co.uk

Trust you will find this post helpfull and look into the listings accordingly

#1888 dealt with, thanks. I found jobs on Jobs Mate.

Note that we do list deeplinks, though not usually in commercial categories. So it's not necessarily a problem. In these cases though, I'm inclined to agree with you.

Hi Jean,

Ref: My post 1888 and your reply 1893

May I ask how long these changes normally take before they show in the results in the directory?.

I ask because I notice that even with deleting cookies and refreshing the page the results are just the same as they were before. Does your data centre take a while to update or are we waiting on some other factor?.

Thanks

David

Hi,

The link to www. geocities.com/teatredelraval/ in http://www.dmoz.org/World/Català/Arts_i_cultura/Arts_escèniques/Teatre/Teatres_i_sales/ leads to a "not found" error page.

In the same category, the link named "Teatre-3xtr3s" (http:// 3xtr3s.com/) leads to a website which basically only contents links.
Moreover, the link to their theaters (the interesting stuff for this category) are already listed in http://www.dmoz.org/World/Català/Re...celona/Arts_i_cultura/Teatre/Teatres_i_sales/ (two deep links under the domain teatrepoliorama.com).

Thanks!
