www.RussianNJ.com - status of this community site?

Website url: http://www.RussianNJ.com
DMOZ directory section: http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Ethnicity/Slavic/Russian/

Hey guys, i have been trying to add a website to DMOZ for over 6 months now. The site is in English and Russian (instant language selection) and is a serious community project. The site has registered members, a solid news archive and a number of unique features for its members. I have also tried contacting the editor ( 3 times now) of the section the site is being added to but have received no reply. The editor does have their own website in the directory though. RussianNJ.com follows all DMOZ guidelines and is a solid resource for the directory. I saw that even simple dating or 'meeting' websites have been added to that section, as well as Russian virtual communities for other states but RussianNJ.com is for some reason being delayed.

Thank you.

Hello,

It seems you numerous suggestions got caught in our spam filter and just made it to its current waiting zone very recently.

It is now waiting for review with a small number of other submissions in your favourite category.

You can enquire about the status of your suggestion in one month, using this thread.

Regards,

Thank you for a quick update. I am sorry about the multiple submissions. I think several factors contributed here: one DMOZ has been down for a long period (submission requests kept timing out) several months ago. It is possible that submissions did get through, but no reply was returned, etc. The second factor is that i think due to our frustration, several of our administrators may have tried to submit the website to DMOZ without knowing that others submitted it already. I will make sure to pass this info on and prevent further submissions.

Thank you again.

From the editor notes it looks as if your site was delayed because it was caught in the automatic spam filter. A lot of what is caught there is not spam; your site was sorted back to the right category and is now waiting there for review together with a very small number of other sites. Don't resubmit (it looks like you did so today and on several occasions before).

If you haven't seen it listed in 4-6 weeks you are welcome to come back and ask for status again (if so, please re-use this thread.) Thanks :)

I didn't mean to tell you the same thing you already knew! :eek: I was writing my reply at the same time as yapuka and was lagged - well, at least we were in agreement :)

Re: www.RussianNJ.com

We ask for a minimum of a one month lag between submission status checks in order to give us more time to edit.

Actually, once you know you are in the queue, it's better to wait 2-3 months to give us more editing time.

I'm not sure if it has enough English content to be listed or not. We'll wait and see.

Have you submitted it to http://dmoz.org/World/Russian/%f3%d4%d2%c1%ce%d9_%c9_%d2%c5%c7%c9%cf%ce%d9/%f3%c5%d7%c5%d2%ce%c1%d1_%e1%cd%c5%d2%c9%cb%c1/%f3%fb%e1 ?

I don't speak or read Russian, but it might fit there. You might also like to apply to edit either that category (if you can read and write Russian - I'm guessing you do) or the English one you mentioned here.

We can always use some more good help. You are welcome to read the guidelines - http://dmoz.org/guidelines - and apply.

Re: www.RussianNJ.com

Just a note: the site has a clear and visible link to instant english translation. In fact all of our content, including news, editorials and even site documents is available in english. Simply click 'english' and the website will instantly switch languages.

I submitted the site to the section you proposed. Please confirm that the submission went through ok.

I also applied for edito position for the section you provided.

Thank you!
