Status of diamondinfo.org

I've been trying to get the site:
http://www.diamondinfo.org

... into the category:
http://dmoz.org/Home/Consumer_Information/Jewelry_and_Gemstones/

... but with no such luck. I think I submitted it to other related categories that had editors (since this one doesn't) but it hasn't helped. PLEASE help, this is a great resource I think worthy of the ODP.

Thank you very much for your time.

It was deleted as being still Under Construction. You should resubmit your site only when it is complete.



[BTW: You don't have any META data like Keywords or Description (or Character Set, and Language) in your HEAD section. In place of the description element, the ODP software therefore reads the first information inside the H1 tags, including all the HTML code itself, which probably isn't quite what you might have intended, so editors may see "<b><a href="http://www.diamondinfo.org"><img src="images/graphics/logo2.JPG" width="178" height="27" border="0"></a><br> Diamond Guide and Buying Tips for Loose Diamonds and Engagement Rings</b>" as your description. It might be a good idea to add some Meta Data in your Head section: Test, but certainly isn't a requirement to be listed].

Actually, it's still waiting in a largish unreviewed queue in http://dmoz.org/Home/Consumer_Information/Jewelry_and_Gemstones/ (it was deleted from another,less appropriate category that you also submitted to).

Re: Status of diamondinfo.org/

Great, thanks a lot for the update. I don't consider the site to be "under construction" any longer, although I will be adding many more quality content to it for the future.

Hopefully it gets added soon, if it doesn't get added in say, 3-4 weeks from now, what's my best course of action? Resubmit again assuming it was deleted/rejected? Come here and ask for it to be examined? I don't want to push any wrong buttons, it's too bad there is no way to view the status and queue # online.

Thanks. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ask here in this thread every 4 to 6 weeks or so (old threads with new messages added, are automagically moved to the top of the list), or email an editor in that category, or in a higher-up category. Please don't resubmit, it pushes your entry to the back of the queue and over-submission also soon begins to look like spam. People are allowed to submit twice just in case the submit process went wrong, but after that it is not a good idea to resubmit. Submission to multiple categories is also not a good idea - this also soon begins to look like spam.


The only exception to the submit rule, is that you can submit to ONE Topical (i.e. 'By Subject') and one Regional (i.e. 'By Location') category. Regional submissions are for people who have a physical store front, or information centre that you can walk into.
