Hello,

This is my first post, thanks for an excellent resource.

My father's site was submitted by me but I realized that I submitted it too deep into the category. Here is the info:

Site: http://www.hawaiihomeinspector
Exists in this Category: http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Hawaii/Oahu/Localities/Honolulu/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/

It should actually be in this category:
http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Hawaii/Oahu/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/

Reasons: His business is for all of Oahu, not just Honolulu.

I wrote the editor in the category for Oahu, but I am not sure if this is the correct method to have his site moved. Any suggestions or help on the proper way of accomplishing this is very appreciated.

The site is correctly listed, it won't be moved.

Real estate categories have their own special rules because of the vast amount of spam submissions we have received in the past. Each and every real estate agent wants to be listed in every single town and village that they cover, and if we allowed that, we'd spend all of our time just maintaining them and doing nothing else.

For this reason we only allow real estate agents one listing, and that listing is in the town where the office is located. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your fellow real estate agents have left us with no option but to limit their listings.

This site isn't an agent, but a real-estate-related business: we should perhaps mention that we'd make the taxonomic decisions in the same way, simply for the sake of consistency.

My understanding of the real estate rules are that the website DESCRIPTION can mention the area of coverage (downtown Honolulu, Northern Pacific Basin, whatever) and if this is omitted or inaccurate in the site description, an update request is reasonable.
