Over 200 of us can edit there should we so choose :).

If a category has a named editor, the name appears at the bottom of the category page.

There are different "types" of editor on ODP. This ranges from extremely experienced editors who can edit anywhere on the directory to those of us who have our own category and can only edit there.

This means that there is no specific editor for that category but what was meant was that there are editors up the tree that can edit in it if they so choose.

You are more than welcome to apply as an editor but it may be prudent to read the Becoming An Editor Guidelines before you apply. ;). I can genuinely say it is a wonderfully rewarding experience being part of the ODP editor community.

To clarify: no one editor "owns" a category. An editor is given "rights to edit" in a given category or category and subcategories, but being the "named' eidtor of a given category does not impart ownership or management rights.
