There's no application with editor name "webexpert" in the queue. If you used another handle, we'll need that to check. We can look up applications by editor name and/or category, but not by application ID.

I applied in this category

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Webcams/Communities/

 

and i used "webexpert" as a user name.

We are unable to check the status presently. The ODP site is down today and was down a day last week as well.

 

Thank you for your patience. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

That application isn't in the queue, so that means you have been rejected.

 

If you want to reapply, it's a good idea to read the information provided on the application form carefully, and take a look at http://dmoz.org/guidelines/ .

 

It might also help if you take a look around to see if there's some other category which interests you, as the one you applied for is very small and already has an active editor who doesn't edit any other categories. I've no idea whether this was a factor when your application was rejected, but I'd guess you'd run some risk of tripping over each other's feet if you'd both edit in a cat that small <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

In general, it's perfectly OK to apply for categories which have listed editors, as the listed editor may be inactive, the cat may be big enough for several editors, and/or the listed editor may have lots of other cats to edit. In this specific case, though, the cat is very small and the listed editor is active, so unless you have a lot of new sites to add, you'd probably be happier in another cat.
