Status of www.minigallery.co.uk

jcserve · Jul 31, 2003

Hello,

Please can someone check the current status of www.minigallery.co.uk

When I originally submitted it several months ago the submission process failed.

The last time I submitted it I think I submitted it to:
http://dmoz.org/Arts/Visual_Arts/Galleries/Virtual/

Thanks in advance

Chris Storey

Must have been another category. Your site is not waiting for review, but it also hasn't been reviewed. Try again, but please check whether there is a more specific subcategory for your site. What about Arts: Visual Arts: Galleries: Virtual: Ethnic and Regional: Europe: British?

Yours,
Robert

Thanks, I will give it another try in the category you suggested.

I am sure that it has been suggested before, wouldn't it be great if people could check on the status of sites they submitted themselves?

Thanks

Hello again,

Please can I have an update on the current status of www.minigallery.co.uk?

Thanks

lachenm · Sep 3, 2003

Your submission of 31 Jul 2003 is waiting for review with a few dozen others. Please feel free to check back in another month.

Hello,

Please can I have an update for www.minigallery.co.uk.

Thanks

It's still waiting for review, I'm afraid.

jcserve · Nov 3, 2003

Hello,

It is 4 months after I first posted to see how the submission for www.minigallery.co.uk was going.

Please tell me that I don't have to wait too much longer :crazy:

thehelper · Nov 3, 2003

It still has not been a full month since your last status check. You have another week to go. Please post back after the 10th for another check.

jcserve · Nov 5, 2003

It has been 4 months since I first asked, asking in another 5 days won't make any difference so I guess I'll hopelessly ask again next month

Having had a quick look through similar categories to:
Arts: Visual Arts: Galleries: Virtual: Ethnic and Regional: Europe: British

I feel that the following category might be more appropriate:
Shopping: Visual Arts: Ethnic and Regional: European: British

www.minigallery.co.uk offers over 400 artworks for sale online, a further 800 for sale offline and a further 300 that are examples. The description for Arts: Visual Arts: Galleries: Virtual: Ethnic and Regional: Europe: British suggests submitting to the shopping directory if the site primarily offers prints or original works for sale.

Is there a long queue for this category and is it worthwhile trying to submit to instead of where it is queued now?

Our standard advice is that second thoughts are OK. If you're really convinced the other category is the right one, then go ahead and submit to it. If you're wrong -- one duplicate submittal doesn't a spammer make. If you're right, then the new submittal might actually be reviewed and listed while the old submittal is waiting to be moved to the right category.

Now, don't try to Peano-axiom this approach. If you submit twice, then have third thoughts... our FIRST thought will be less favorable.

Please can I have an update.

Thanks

thehelper · Jan 3, 2004

I agree that the shopping category might be a better fit so I went ahead and added the site to that unreviewed. Actually I did the title and description already - a reviewing editor should be able process the submission quickly after they review the site - if they decide to list it.

You are also pending review in

http://dmoz.org/Arts/Visual_Arts/Galleries/Virtual/M

End the end you will only be listed in one category but that will be up to the reviewing editor.

jcserve · Jan 4, 2004

Thank you

jcserve · Feb 8, 2004

Hello,

Please can you let me know if minigallery.co.uk is still waiting for review

I've seen a few of our competitors listed under http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Visual_Arts/Galleries and then the appropriate letter. Would it be worthwhile trying to get reviewed under the 'M' category?

Thanks

jcserve · Feb 13, 2004

Hello,

An update would be welcome

Thanks

nea · Feb 13, 2004

You are waiting for review in Shopping/Visual_Arts/Ethnic_and_Regional/European/British/ and Arts/Visual_Arts/Galleries/Virtual/M/. I don't edit in Shopping but from your site and the category descriptions it looks as if the Ethnic_and_Regional category is a better fit than the general Shopping/Visual_Arts/Galleries one. That's just my personal untutored opinion though

jcserve · Mar 15, 2004

Hello,

I recently submitted the contact form for whoever is in charge of the Top: Shopping: Visual Arts: Artists: S category. This is because a while back www.sempleart.com (currently listed in that category) was set to redirect to a sub folder of www.minigallery.co.uk - not the main website but an artist's profile.
I asked the editor to discontinue the listing of sempleart.com as it has a permanent redirect set to www.minigallery.co.uk/Hazel_Semple. The sempleart.com website is currently not in operation because the profile on www.minigallery.co.uk has replaced it etc.

I know you aren't able to reveal any information to me about if the listing for sempleart.com makes a difference, however, if it does and it speeds up the listing process for www.minigallery.co.uk just a little then it is worth mentioning it

How is the listing for www.minigallery.co.uk otherwise progressing?

Thanks

Chris Storey
