Site Update with Incorrect Information

Hello,

I submitted our site a few times to be updated which is showing incorrect information. I am wondering how long does it typically take to get the information reviewed and updated?

Thanks,

The most typical time for an update-listing suggestion is "never" -- that is, most suggestions turn out to be not useful (for one reason or another).

[Note: understandably, if a suggestion is substantially and obviously not useful, an editor may not go to any extra effort to see if there is SOME useful information down under all the hype. (That is, a description saying "world's greatest and most artistic photographic representation, photographs, pictures of an extremely cute and friendly albino mouse" might reasonably be deleted out of hand, even though the current ODP description incorrectly says "pictures of a _spotted_ mouse".)

Another typical time for an update-listing suggestion change is "less than five minutes."

Anything in between is also "typical", depending on factors that are too numerous to be listed, and too random to be predictable.

There's no useful way to speculate about when a single action might take place. It's rather like saying, "How long is a typical piece of string?" Because the only reasonable answer is, "Not quite so long as it might have been, but longer than it could have been."

There is no typical time. But updates are shown as a seperate group of suggestions to the editors and most of the time they are processed quickly (days to weeks).
Many update requests do not follow our guidelines and try to write titles and descriptions that are not acceptable. These requests will be rejected. Also please state the reason why you think a change is needed, this will help the editor understand the request.
