Volunteer Editor Application

DonDemarco · Jun 23, 2010

Hi All,

This is Don and this is my first post here.

How long does it take for one's application to be reviewed. I applied some time back to be the volunteer editor for a small category with no current editor and still have not heard back.

What is a reasonable time frame within which to expect a response?

Regards,
Don

Hello Don,

How long it takes for an editor application to be reviews depends on many different factors, but for English-language categories most applications are reviewed within a few weeks - some much faster than that. If it's been more than 14 days since you applied we'll be happy to check your application for you - please have a look at this post to see which information we need to look it up. Thanks!

Hi again,

It has now been more than 2 weeks so I'm writing to follow up. Here are the details of my application.

1. I applied to edit the following category: http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/Fitness/Books,_Audio_and_Video/

2. I applied as Jasper Kuria (Pen Name Don Demarco, used in supporting reference published articles)

3. I applied on June 16th and replied to the confirmation email.

Please let me know the current status.

Best Regards

Hi Don, as mentioned on the forum front page, the directory is undergoing maintenance at the moment so no-one is able to check. When it comes back online, someone will post your application status here...
(it's probably awaiting review)

How about now? Still waiting for review? Anything I can help with to speed up the process?

Cheers,

Still awaiting evaluation. Some meta editor who feels competent to do so will get to it in time and there's nothing that you can do to expedite the process. Please be patient.
