Guest Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 Hi, I just posted http://www.mgrubber.co.uk to the following category: http://dmoz.org/Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/Protective_Clothing/ After I done this I noticed that this category does not have an editor, will this be a problem? Thanks
beebware Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 No category is "editor-less". For example, Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/Protective_Clothing/ can be edited by not only staff, metas, catmvs and editalls (the kinda 'higher ups in the ODP volunteer ladder type thing') but also by editors of Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/ , Business/Healthcare/ and Business/. If an editor is listed at the bottom of the category, that is usually just an indication that they are specifically interested in the contents of that category. Your site is awaiting review in that category with around 100 other sites (hopefully a few less than that as I can see quite a lot of spam + deeplinks to remove from that unreviewed queue).
beebware Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 Your site is in the queue to be reviewed for that category with around 30 other sites.
Guest Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Any news on this? I see it was editied on the 13th Oct.
totalxsive Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Still waiting. The 14th October update was the addition of a site previously (wrongly) listed in a category in Shopping. The queue is the same size as before.
beebware Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Your site is still awaiting review with around a 100 other sites. There was a site added on the 14th October (which caused the page to update), but this site was by a senior editor from another category to this one (as it was more appropriate). Please don't treat the 'last update' date at the bottom of the page as 'Last time the unreviewed queue was cleared' date - as it isn't. Pages are "regenerated" for various reasons: sites are added/deleted from that category (for example, some editors just 'hunt down' sites which are 'red-flagged' as reporting errors), sub-categories are updated (which may cause the 'parent category' to be likewise updated), related category/@ links/foreign language links added/removed, category descriptions updated - even an editor deciding to make changes in their profile can cause some pages to be regenerated. I would think it is unlikely that your site will be listed within the next 30 days (given the queue length). But that an educated guesstimate: it could be shorter or it could be many many times longer.
