rob watts Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Could someone tell me the status of this please http://www.mencorps.com submitted around 5 weeks back I believe in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Event_Planning/ Much obliged for any feedback. Cheers Rob
Guest gimmster Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 I can't see it waiting there, and it has not been reviewed/deleted/or moved. If that is the single most appropriate category, feel free to resubmit there. :tree:
rob watts Posted May 14, 2004 Author Posted May 14, 2004 Hmmn, how odd. Thats the info that was supplied to me. Oh well, thanks for looking in any case. Seems that Ive been given the wrong information by the people I'm helping. If this is so, is there a way to locate the url in any queued submission list so I can enquire of its location and status? Thanks again for any help. Rob
bobrat Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 In this case, without the category, due to technical limitations, it's not possible to find it.
rob watts Posted May 15, 2004 Author Posted May 15, 2004 Oh well, that kinda sucks, can't quite understand why there isnt a little script to query a table somewhere, but if thats how it is, then thats how it is. Ill resubmit and see what happens. Thanks for the responses. Rob
rob watts Posted May 21, 2004 Author Posted May 21, 2004 Hello me again. In view of the above, and having spoke with the person concerned who insists that they submitted to the cat I outlined above, and having now personally resubmitted myself, I thought that rather than wait another month only to be told it isn't even there/waiting/reviewed/deleted etc and then have to go through this process again in 28 days...(still with me?..) Could an editor possibly afford me the courtesy of letting me know if its there and waiting ...or even better still, there and reviewed <grin>! TIA Rob
rob watts Posted May 25, 2004 Author Posted May 25, 2004 Can someone please have a look in the cat http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Event_Planning/ and tell me if its waiting. Thanks in advance. Rob
rob watts Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 Hi I realise that policies have changed, but I never did find out if the submission as referenced above was ever 'there' as no one afforded me the courtesy of a reply. I dont want to leave it 6 months to ask, as Im then another six months down the road still at square one. Would someone please, please tell me whether the website as submited above is at least waiting in the cat I submitted it to. many thanks Rob
donwiebe Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 As far as I can tell, the your resubmission was deleted because the original was found. The site is now waiting for review in [cat]Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Event_Planning/Weddings/Consultants_and_Coordinators/[/cat] If you don't see it listed sometime in the next six months, please feel free to return for a status update on or after 24 December.
jimnoble Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 I'm not sure what's happened. It's no longer awaiting review in that category yet there's no record of any editor having processed it since May 29th 2004 - before the previous status report. I'd have re-added it there, but the website seems to have changed focus from being a wedding coordinator to a hen night show. Mencorps seems to be in London and I'd suggest submitting there, but I couldn't find a London bricks and mortar address. What is your relationship with http://www.dreamboys.co.uk/ ?
rob watts Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 Hi Jim I'd have re-added it there, but the website seems to have changed focus from being a wedding coordinator to a hen night show. It never was submitted to the wedding co-ordinator section in the first place, it was actually submitted to event planning as that's where I found other hen party entertainment outfits at the time. I was informed in this thread that it had been moved to the section that youve outlined as it was deemed to be more apt for that section. At the time I decided it was best to not complicate things with a why-i-think-it-should-be-put-back-where-it-was type post, so decided to leave it to the editors to decide on best placement. Basically Mencorps is a brand name for a Luxury hen night party entertainment outfit, who operate UK wide. There is a bricks and mortar address here http://www.mencorps.com/contact_admin.html As for Dreamboys this brand name caters for a different kind of market within the hen party entertainment sector. They deal with blackpool and a few other coastal resorts too. It caters for a different type of market place, but afaik is owned and managed by Mencorps too.
Meta hutcheson Posted December 28, 2004 Meta Posted December 28, 2004 Ah, that would make them "individual product line domains", and not listable. We'd want to list the main corporate site (and that only.)
rob watts Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 Ah, that would make them "individual product line domains", and not listable. We'd want to list the main corporate site (and that only.) Actually they are not individual products. They are individual brands If my prior post created that impression then I do apologise for any confusion caused.
oneeye Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 As far as we are concerned, individual product brands are the same as individual product lines, the same answer applies. Sorry.
rob watts Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 The domain submitted was mencorps.com, for all intents and purposes it is the corporate domain. The brand caters to the luxury hen night marketplace.
oneeye Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Lets approach this from a different angle. Is there a single domain that links http://www.hennightsblackpool.co.uk/ and http://www.mencorps.com . If so, what is it?
rob watts Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 Lets approach this from a different angle. Is there a single domain that links http://www.hennightsblackpool.co.uk/ and http://www.mencorps.com . If so, what is it? Too funny. No, none that I am aware of. But I know who it benefits http://www.ufindus.co.uk ooh look, its owned by the same people who own hennightsblackpool.co.uk, oh and what a surprise it links back to ufindus.co.uk too Again, the domain in question is mencorps.com. If that other domain is informing your decision, or if you can show me where mencorps.com is linking to this piece of html then I'd love to know about it. I dont expect you to believe me, but I really do have no knowledge of that other domain. A whois for that domain will show you who the owners are ( not mencorps.com) funny to read the contact info too..dreambags lol, they couldn't even get that right. Look, this really is a lot of old bollocks, if you don't want to list mencorps.com then fine. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. At the end of the day I think that the domain itself should be adjudged on the content itself, rather than what I suspect is viewed as some kind of potential bait and switch waiting to happen.I do appreciate how it looks, but Ive decided not waste anymore of my time ( or yours) convincing you otherwise, hell I dont even work for these guys anymore! I was just following up something I started 8 months back! If the criteria you've used is the reason for declining, then it seems like a great way to attack a competitor. You know? Build a few pieces of crap, put up the same contact info, and report it to the dmoz spam police for removal.
oneeye Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 The site hasn't been declined (as yet) - it is waiting as previously indicated. What we are trying to work out is whether there is a domain covering all the hen night events operated by this same company as we will not list variations on a theme from the same source. From what you've said there isn't an umbrella URL and when the site is eventually reviewed an editor will make the decision whether they will list just the one in that case. In case you were unaware, dreamboys.co.uk had also been submitted and was also awaiting review, hence the attempt to clarify.
rob watts Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 Im not surprised to hear that it has been submitted ( dreamboys). Can't recall doing it personally, but then again maybe I did...does the IP of the submitter match with mine? Was it recent? Are the submitall dates close? Whatever the case this thread for me, was always only ever about mencorps.com. Or maybe it was the person who created that other masterpiece.. If the IP is 80.***.***.** then it probably was me. If it was then I would of done so in the belief that they are seperate domains with seperate content and target markets, worthy of a place in a cat of their own.
jimnoble Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 It never was submitted to the wedding co-ordinator sectionOh yes it was - by on 29th April 2004.
rob watts Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 Jim, Id request that the email address is removed from this thread please. I dont want spam bots harvesting it, thanks.
oneeye Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 with seperate content and target markets, worthy of a place in a cat of their own. LOL. A bloke flashing his meat and two veg to girls on a hen night is a bloke flashing his meat and two veg to girls on a hen night. Package it whatever way you like, unless the luxury version entails blokes with meat and three veg and a dumpling on the side there is hardly unique content to distinguish the sites - the rules are clear about related sites with similar content. Anyway, you're not arguing, we're not arguing, nice talking to you.
