Thanks for all responses.
My site had been listed in the same category for several years, and the only update requested was regarding the site’s migration from a regional sub-domain (
in.) to
www. The first request also suggested that a superfluous word could be removed from the site description (not to manipulate rank, simply to keep the description on a single line), but subsequent requests only mentioned the URL change.
The site content has not changed (only errors have been corrected, all pages have been consolidated under the one domain, and the whole site has been given a consistent layout with improved navigation) and I cannot imagine a more appropriate category.
These requests were my first communication with ODP since my site was listed, so I hope that editors don’t have such a short fuse as to dismiss my quadruple request and immediately label me as a time-waster with no credibility!
If all is well and the listing is in transit, how long might I expect it to be away? Or, if the listing has actually been deleted, how long should I wait (in vain expectation of its return) before coming to the realization that it has indeed been removed?
