We can't answer your question because
1. You haven't provide the info required by the Forum Guidelines - READ BEFORE POSTING thread at the top of the page.
2. We don't discuss the details of individual declined applications.

The email you received gave a list of common reasons and one or more of them will apply to you.

Thanks Jim,

what information you need exactly ? i read the forum guidelines (http://www.resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules) - nothing about informations to provide in it ?
i was thing that with my username you can at least have some history in some back office

yes i understand about details of individual declined applications, i just i want to understand what's happen ...If ODP don't want me as editor it's ok, my life will not change because of this :)
But i least just say it to me not 3 months after via a "robots" emails without any little human word in it.
It's what my mother learn me : "politeness" and "good manners" ...

Yes, but it is muc easier for us if all info (editorname, category and date) is provided.
But as you already know it was rejected there is no need for us to check. We only could confirm that it is rejected without specific comments.

The email you received was not a "robots" email. An editor reviewed your application, selected one of several standard emails we have (much easier to point out one of many standard mistakes people make tan to type it everytime again) and saw no reason to add a personal comment.
One or more of the standard issues mentioned in te email apply to your application. Being able to determine which (one or more) if those issues sould be corrected is someting you will have to manage yourself as it is much like the day to day work an editor will encounter.

When applying again (I write this without looking at your previous applications)
- select a category that is not to big and not to small (I advise between 10 and 80 to a max of 100 current listings)
- do not select a category for a subject that you could know attracts a lot of spam
- provide 3 example websites tat belong in the category and are not yet listed
- describe these examples after reading te guidelines for good descriptions
- be honest, this is the most important, tell us the truth about you and all the websites you are affiliated with (either as a private person or through your work)
