itmagic Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 I submitted Discover the Cotswolds about 2 or 3 weeks ago to Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Regions/South_West/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/Self_Catering/ . On reflection, I think the site would be better located in : Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Gloucestershire/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/ I'm unsure as to the status of the submission, so I don't know whether I should re-submit, or if are you able to move it to the other category? Many thanks, Jon
dfy Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 Your recent submission has been deleted. Because you are already listed in Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Gloucestershire/Chipping_Campden/Travel_and_Tourism/ . <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />
itmagic Posted November 22, 2002 Author Posted November 22, 2002 Thanks for the info! I don't see it listed in there at the moment... Do I have to wait for a refresh of the directory or something?
dfy Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 Re: http://www.discoverthecotswolds.net/ Hmmmm, odd. It's definitely listed in that category, but the public page doesn't seem to have been regenerated since your site was published 12 days ago. I've just gone into the category and given it a kick to get it updated, but there's a high load process going on in the background right now, so it might take a while to come up. If it's still not showing next week, come back here and let me know. <add> I've just checked and it's showing correctly now. </add>

Meta hutcheson Posted November 22, 2002 Meta Posted November 22, 2002 Re: http://www.discoverthecotswolds.net/ To address the more general question: "I submitted my site to Arts/Evanescent, but I later realized it should have gone in one of these other site: -- Shopping/Arts/Evanescent, because it sells stuff -- World/Deutsch/Kunst/... because it's in German -- Shopping/Publications/... because it sells a book printed in disappearing ink -- Reference/Education, because it's primarily about teaching students to spot the stuff before it vanishes What should I do now? The correct answer is, IMO, don't wait for confirmation. Read all the involved category descriptions, look at a few of the other listed sites, and if you're pretty sure your old guess was wrong and the new guess correct, then go ahead and submit to the other category. Yes, it's a duplicate submittal, yes, abusive duplicate submittals can get you into trouble, but (from our point of view) you have new information on the site [that is, the RIGHT category for it], and the submittal process is the best way you have of communicating that to us. The FIRST submittal was the futile one; the SECOND is the helpful one. You're helping us build the directory, and we like that.
