Where to inquire
- Thread starter realspark

It isn't possible! Submissions are held in waiting areas attached to each category and the technology does not allow us to search across those waiting areas - we have to know which one to look in.
Provide your URL, and take the best possible guess as to where you should have put it. If it isn't there then you could resubmit to that category.

Yes, I see that we may share similar frustrations. Policies discourage me from resubmitting and insist that I first check status, but it is likely that any submission pending was NOT made by me, but in my behalf. Since my largest single problem seems to have been category selection, an attempt to inquire in all possibly pertinent categories would be exhaustive, and would probably also be considered to be 'spam'.
And yet, I just read advice from a moderator that a guest SHOULD submit in two categories, simultaneously. I have very seldom been more confused.
The site, http://chivalrysteel.com is commercial only to the point of trying to provide product where none is otherwise available at a reasonable price, but it seems that the possibility of a site being primarily informational, also an online resource, and nominally commericial, is confounding to this directory.
Should I seperately inquire in every possibly appropriate category? Submit again in hopes that two submissions won't collide? Inquire in the single category that I choose to use for re-submission, and hope that, in that they can't seem to cross intentionally, the two submissions therefore can't cross accidentally?
I just need to know what to do next...

It is waiting review in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Recreation/Living_History .
Thank you, thank you, thank YOU! If electrons could hug... My day is made, and all my problems solved. It is SO much easier to be patient when you know that what you're waiting for isn't illusional. Again, thank you.

Some sites can be suitable for two categories, some for more, but the circumstances are quite specific. The main one is where a site has both geographic and topical relevance and can submit to both the Regional branch and one of the others. Many sites aren't suitable, including your own. If that advice was given it usually means the editor believed that the particular site qualified.
Unless an editor tells you that you can. Happily it isn't necessary this time!
