Meta nea Posted August 17, 2004 Meta Posted August 17, 2004 When was your site last submitted? We ask all submitters to wait at least one month after their latest submission before asking for status. Thanks. Curlie Meta and kMeta editor nea
stevenwaters Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 Thanks for responding. I submitted a long time ago, at least two months. I know that the category I submitted to doesn't have an editor so I am not sure what to expect. Thanks steve
donwiebe Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Actually, the last submission was made on 26 July. However, we have received it at it is awaiting review. 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 26 February.
stevenwaters Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 Re: Status of http://www.professorprofits.com Thanks! Steve
stevenwaters Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 Please let me know the status of http://www.professorprofits.com to http://dmoz.org/Business/Investing/Real_Estate/Tax_Lien_Certificates/ Thanxs Steve
uzs980 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Your site is still waiting for a review by a specialized editor. (I don't even know what a tax lien certificate is ...)
stevenwaters Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 Thanks for the update. Just curious, does Dmoz have an internal list of specialized editors that can be contacted by other editor's, like yourself, for situations like these? Or do we just wait until one decides to take a look?
bobrat Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 No lists of editors, the specialized editor is going to be whoever decides to review your site, only someone who feels competent and has been assigned access to the category will review it.
Meta hutcheson Posted March 1, 2005 Meta Posted March 1, 2005 Editors ask for specializations (so they are predominately self-selected). After an editor does enough good work we get tired of evaluating his requests, so we dub him an editall and tell him "edit wherever you know you can do a good job -- and thanks for whatever you do". Now nobody knows his specializations (if any) any more. The editalls or nearly-editalls do a majority of all the edits -- that is, from any perspective inside or out, for all practical purposes, most editing specializations are invisible.
stevenwaters Posted March 2, 2005 Author Posted March 2, 2005 Just curious, is there anyway of contacting the editor or editors who reviewed site's which are currently included in the category I am seeking inclusion?
Meta hutcheson Posted March 2, 2005 Meta Posted March 2, 2005 No, that's confidential information. If I were one of those editors it wouldn't help me do my job, to receive such e-mail.
stevenwaters Posted March 4, 2005 Author Posted March 4, 2005 Thanks for your help. Do you have any recommendations?
Meta hutcheson Posted March 4, 2005 Meta Posted March 4, 2005 The site's waiting review here. That's all you can do. Leave the next step to the ODP editors, and focus on the business and its promotion elsewhere. Check back here in six months, if you wish, to see the status -- I personally don't know what you'd do with that information when you have it, but we will give it to you.
spectregunner Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Yes. Put areminder in your calendar to follow-up with a new status check after August 28. Beyond that there is nothing you can do to influence the process that will not be ultimately detrimental to your best interests.
stevenwaters Posted March 5, 2005 Author Posted March 5, 2005 Thanx everyone! It's frustrating but I guess thats the way it is. I will bookmark my calendar and hopefully by August an editor will review.
