Cindy:

We'd love to help you, but first you need to make the link to the category where you made your submission clickable, just like the URL to your website.

clickable link

Sorry.
Here is where I submitted it...

Business > Construction and Maintenance > Materials and Supplies > Wood and Plastics > Wood Products > Veneers and Fine Hardwoods

Close, but not quite there yet. We are ODP, not google, so the category link needs to start with http://dmoz.org/....

Common mistake, not to worry.

Clickable link for submission

Let's try this again...So sorry.

Top: Business: Construction and Maintenance: Materials and Supplies: Wood and Plastics: Wood Products: Veneers and Fine Hardwoods

A submission for that site is awaiting review in [cat]Business/Construction_and_Maintenance/Materials_and_Supplies/Wood_and_Plastics/Wood_Products/Reclaimed_Wood/[/cat]

Help with site submission status

I hope someone can explain this to me...
The last post I received about my site submission, dated three months ago, says that my site is awaiting review...what exactly does that mean?

I am supposed to be following up or doing anything else?

Sorry to be a pain...

Also, how do I know when my site becomes a part of the DMOZ?

It means at that time, your site was in a giant pile of sites waiting review, and there is no way to tell when your site will be reviewed.

In fact it could have been reviewed already and published, or refused - I could go and check that, but we have a rule that you cannot ask about it until six months from the previous reply.

ODP does not provide any automated way of notifying you when your site has been reviewed.

Status of site

We submitted our site for review back in June. How can I find out the status of the site at this time? Thanks for your help.

It was removed from the queues for being inoperative. As it seems operative, I put it back in the unreviewed area for that category. Sorry about the delay.

As you do have your address on your site, it might also be considered in http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_Amer.../Localities/L/Lewisburg/Business_and_Economy/

Regional and Topical (other than Regional and World) submissions do not interfere with each other.

Topical and regional

THanks. I am not sure what this means. Is the process just starting now?

Secondly, what about the regional and topical categories? I can submit the site again and separately in this other category?


Sorry, I know very little about this.

THanks

The process doesn't have anything at all to do with submittal queues. It has to do with editors reviewing sites.

Sites in the queues aren't scheduled, or prioritized, or being reviewed, or anything like that. They're merely not being forgotten.

Nothing will happen until an editor reviews a site. And what does that have to do with the queue? Maybe nothing at all -- the editor can review anything he can find. The trick is, if he wants to, he can find sites in the queue.

Do not submit the site again in the same place -- it was removed and put back, and there's no point in doing it again. (That's in fact the only thing the status check can tell you.

But you can submit to the OTHER category -- an organization with geographic focus and sufficiently acute topical focus may be considered for listing in both places. So yes, do submit to the most specific Regional category that fits the entity's physical LOCATION (not, note, its sphere of influence.)
