Guest pneumatic Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Hi, Just checking on the status of my site submission to: http://dmoz.org/Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Fluid_and_Gas_Control/Fluid_Power_Components/ Thanks, ::pneumatic::
Meta windharp Posted November 21, 2002 Meta Posted November 21, 2002 Its waiting for review with about 100 other entries. Sorting by date (editors dont have to) it would be near the top. Curlie Meta/kMeta Editor windharp
Guest pneumatic Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 Hello, Category was updated on December 14. Just rechecking status. Am I still in the queue. Thanks again. ::pneumatic::
beebware Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 No change - FYI: the update of the category was to remove a listed site that had gone 404'd. Why didn't the editor review the sites while they were there? Well, it takes time to properly review a site and the idea of having "listed editors" for each category means that someone that is experienced and knowledgable about the subject matter will review the site. But when a site goes "404" (or, in ODP terminology, 'turns red'/'marked by Robo/Robozilla') editors may remove (or move to unreviewed) the site that is showing up as 404d. This takes a matter of seconds and all the editor needs to be able to do is check the site isn't available. They don't have to worry about checking for duplicates (either a site is 'dead/404' or it isn't), haven't got to check for original, useful content, haven't got to think of a good title and description etc etc.
Guest pneumatic Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 Thanks beeb (can I call you that?) Now that's efficient, answering the next question before it's asked. I appreciate your help. Waiting eagerly, but paitiently, ::pneumatic::
Guest pneumatic Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Hello, Saw that the category was updated this morning, with no additions or subtractions. Just wanted to make sure that I'm still in the queue. Thanks for all your help, ::pneumatic::
Meta windharp Posted January 7, 2003 Meta Posted January 7, 2003 Please keep at least a month between requests. Thank you. Btw: If your site does qualify as "Having content" I dont see a reason for being so nervous. And thats something you should know best yourself <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> Changes could have many possible reasons, for example a link to an alternative language that was changed, ya typo that was corrected etc. ppp. Curlie Meta/kMeta Editor windharp
Guest pneumatic Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 Windharp, Sorry, my nervousness is actually concern that I perhaps did not submit to the correct category. With the search function being out of date, I have no way of knowing if my site has been added to another category. Again, sorry for my haste, ::pneumatic::
Guest pneumatic Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Hello, Just re-checking status again. Thanks, ::pneumatic::
dfy Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 No progress I'm afraid. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" />
Guest pneumatic Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Hello, Just checking status again. Thanks, ::pneumatic::
dfy Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 I'm sorry to say that that category must be feeling a little neglected as no one has been in there recently. Sorry.
Guest pneumatic Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Hello, Just checking again, Thanks, ::pneumatic
lachenm Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Sorry, still no change. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> It's still waiting.
Guest pneumatic Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Hello, Just checking again. It seems as if there has been no action on this directory for several months other than maintenance. Is that correct? Thanks, ::pneumatic::
brmehlman Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 The publicly viewable page for that category was generated in early June. You can see the date on the bottom of the category page. It's stale because of our upgrade effort which, we hope, is just about done. The real page behind it is being actively edited. Quite a few sites have been added each of the past few months, and you'll see them when the upgrade stuff settles and the pages are being refreshed again. The bad news, from your point of view, is that there's still quite a backlog. Your site awaits review there, but I can't predict how long it will take to review it. If I were you, because of the backlog, I'd wait several months between status inquiries.
