Editor for Female Sexuality category available?

[Guest]

Hi There,

 

Love it, I simply love what you are doing, and I would love to be an editor! When I submitted my application I got a response that an editor was not needed for Female Sexuality, but a the message at the bottom of this category says there is an editor needed. Do you need an editor at this time or not? I would love to know!

 

Thank you,

I guess you are referring to http://dmoz.org//Health/Women%27s_Health/Sexuality/ . Yes, that category is showing the message 'This category needs an editor', but I would guess (looking at the category) that it is too large for a new editor (there are 15 listed sites and around two dozen unreviewed sites for that category).

 

The message you received from a 'meta editor' (who reviews new editor applications et al) sounds like the generic one that they have the option to send out: so it may have no direct reference to the category in question.

 

I would look for a slightly smaller category (maybe your home locale under http://dmoz.org/Regional/ ) and then complete the application form to become an ODP editor by following the editor guidelines http://dmoz.org/guidelines/ . Please feel free to contact current editors if you have any questions about any part of the application form, parts of the guidelines or things like that.

Thanks beeware!

 

Here I thought I was applying for a smaller cat. I believe I have the time for this cat, reviewing 12 new sites sounds fun! When you are passionate about something, time doesn't matter much. Thanks again for your reply. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Tbone, the most likely reason you got rejected to edit that category, is that it is an incredibly spam-prone area. While there are not a lot of sites listed, the category gets constantly barraged with herbal supplement affiliates, etc.

 

It would probably be best if you got started in a different Women's Health category.
