Guest kualalumpur Posted December 21, 2002 Posted December 21, 2002 I submitted to http://dmoz.org/Reference/Education/Educators/Higher_Education/ and also http://dmoz.org/Reference/Education/ over the past 4 months, but there is no listing yet. The first category does not have an editor so I wonder if that is the hold up? Many thanks for your help on what may be the problem with the site or something else.
Meta windharp Posted December 21, 2002 Meta Posted December 21, 2002 Please submit only to the one most specific category the site fits in - thats stated in the text you see when adding an URL (which of course noone reads, I know <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) Your URL has not been processed in any of those categories, neither is it in the queue. Maybe when submitting you received the message that your site was put to a temporary storage area becuase your IP could not be determined, then it will take some time since those entries are presorted by hand. So if you received that message you can resubmit from another machine - preferably not behind a firewall or proxy. If you didnt see such a note and you are sure you got the category right, you maybe would have to resubmit. But I dont know how that should have happened, no "submission not received" bugs are currently known... Anyway: All editors of higher-up categories and a lot of editors who can edit the whole directory still serve those categories. Curlie Meta/kMeta Editor windharp
Guest kualalumpur Posted December 22, 2002 Posted December 22, 2002 Thankyou Windharp.. I will submit again to the first category mentioned as that seems most related. I am hoping i didnt make a mistake with the category that i initially submitted to, as my memory is not so good these days and it was a fair while ago. But from info i have picked up here, the next step is just to submit again. Thanks.
Guest kualalumpur Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Hello, I was wondering whether there is any update on this site, or what the likelihood is of this small category being visited by an editor. Thanks!
uzs980 Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Your submission has arrived in the review queue of Reference: Education: Educators: Higher Education, but has not been taken care of yet. However, I doubt this is the one best category for your site. Have you taken a look at Business: Management: Education and Training and its subcategories?
Guest kualalumpur Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Many thanks catmv. Yes i think you are right! I did spend an hour or so checking for the right categories but this cat and subs escaped me. Now, I know i should not submit to more than one cat. Should I just resubmit to the new cat? There is no way to delete and old submission i would guess.
uzs980 Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Which category exactly are you going to submit to?
Guest kualalumpur Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 After your suggestion I was going to submit to the Business: Management: Education and Training category as the sub categories dont seem to fit the site. The site is actually designed for educational managers and schools and training institutes, not students themselves. On second thoughts, I'm not sure what would be the best cat. Maybe the Educators cat at http://dmoz.org/Reference/Education/Educators/Higher_Education/ I submitted to already is the best one after all?
Guest kualalumpur Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 Hi all, I'm a bit confused now on what category ive submitted to over the course of this discussion even though I KNOW I originally may have submitted to a wrong category (thanks catmv) I havent had a reply to my previous message yet and think i cam still in a queue for http://dmoz.org/Reference/Education/Educators/Higher_Education/ As its more than a month since my last query, I thought it might be acceptable now to enquire how the site submission request is going. Thank you.
Meta kokopeli Posted May 15, 2003 Meta Posted May 15, 2003 Your submission from 21/Dec/2002 19:49:44 MST is still waiting in http://dmoz.org/Reference/Education/Educators/Higher_Education/. Personally I think that uzs980's suggestion was right on, and this isn't the right category...but it isn't my area of expertise, so I am assuming this is what you meant to check on. Above you said you were going to submit to that cat...so it appears you didn't. Worst case scenerio, the editor who does view it will move it to a more appropriate cat and you will then again wait for the site to be reviewed again. As for this queue, there is no change.
Guest kualalumpur Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 Thanks very much Kokopeli. I did a lot of looking at different cats and the main reason i didnt move it was that the site is targeted at professors and lecturers, university administrators and college management and not at students. The content involves things like teaching techniques like action learning, networking with other related business schools and issues relating to educational accreditation. The cat you and uzs980's suggested seems to be directed to students mainly, so I thought it would be better in the "educators" cat or one of the sub cats under it. I thought best to wait and see if the category editor, who I am sure is much better at the subject area than me, decides to approve or move. I guess at the moment its 1 for leaving it where it is and 2 against! IId wait another month and see how it goes, and then try for the cat you guys suggest! Thanks again
