New editor application question

[Guest]

I'm interested in a smaller category (40 +/-) that already lists an editor, but I've found significant problems with the sites listed.... i.e. sites that link to warez sites, one company listed three separate times, etc. Should I apply for this category, as I'm familiar with the industry and companies, or should I find another category that does not list an editor? Thanks.

You could of course apply for the category, but some general advice:

 

* For calculating the size include all physical subcategories (of course not the @links that point somewhere else). Add an unknown number of unreviewed entries (may be between 0 and say 200% of the listed) <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> and try to stay well below about 100 with that number. That would make a good category (just from the size) to start with.

 

* Additional to the three URLs in the application form you may want to point out some of the problems in the category - shows that you are interested and have looked into the existing entries.

 

* When accepted and starting to clear the category, contact the resident editor right _before_ you start masschanging sites - just as a matter of kindness. Otherwise he/she might be worried. You dont want someone else to rush in and clean your house without asking, do you? <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
