donwiebe Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 When was the site last submitted? You have to wait a month from that date before asking for a status update here.
Mav Posted September 2, 2004 Author Posted September 2, 2004 I believe it has been a month or more, at this point, from the time the site was last submitted.
Mav Posted September 15, 2004 Author Posted September 15, 2004 As of today, it has been one month since we last submitted our website http://www.douglascurtis.com/ to the following category: "Top: Business: Financial Services: Investment Banks" available at http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Investment_Banks/. Again, any information regarding the status of our submission and/or review would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
donwiebe Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Thanks for your patience. Your submission is awaiting review in that category. 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 18 March.
Mav Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 Question regarding Category Editor I noticed that there in no longer a specific Editor for the category, “Top: Business: Financial Services: Investment Banks,” found at: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Investment_Banks/ to which I submitted my client's website, http://www.douglascurtis.com/ , some 6 months ago (as of March 18). This concerns me because I do not believe the category editor for "Top: Business: Financial Services" is responsible for editing the Investment Bank sub-category. Any logistical insight on this matter would be appreciated. Thank you.
Meta icxcnika Posted March 3, 2005 Meta Posted March 3, 2005 See the forum FAQ. The first section (about the ODP) has answers to this question and some related concerns. Curlie volunteer meta editor icxcnika
Mav Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 Thank You Thanks for the link, icxcnika. The FAQs Guide addressed my concern. Once reviewed, I would be shocked if the website was denied inclusion in the Investment Bank directory, so I presume that it is merely yet to be evaluated. Thanks again.
Mav Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 Status Update for http://www.douglascurtis.com/ As of today, it has been 6 months since we last submitted our Firm's website http://www.douglascurtis.com/ to the following category: "Top: Business: Financial Services: Investment Banks" found at http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Investment_Banks/. Information on the status of our submission and review would be appreciated. Thank you.
Mav Posted March 19, 2005 Author Posted March 19, 2005 It has been 6 months. In the amount of time it takes an editor to look up my submission status, the site could have already been reviewed and approved. Is there anyway to expedite this process, or should I just consider ODP submissions a black hole?
Meta hutcheson Posted March 19, 2005 Meta Posted March 19, 2005 Think of it as a fire-and-forget missile. If people found out that asking about site status got them a quick review, ... imagine what would happen. We have to make sure everyone knows it doesn't work that way.
Mav Posted March 19, 2005 Author Posted March 19, 2005 Ideas So, there is nothing further you recommend I do? Perhaps, applying for Editorship in the 'Investment Bank' subcategory? ...there is no primary editor for Investment Banks and only one category editor (mrburns) for the financial services category. I have many ideas and well-over 20 Investment/Merchant Bank websites in my 'Favorites' that should be listed in the Investment Bank category. Also, a new subcategory under 'Financial Services' is needed; that is, 'Private Equity' of which I have dozens of worthy websites. 'Venture Capital' is fielded, but 'Private Equity' is another facet to capital-raising and corporate finance that is focused on later-stage growth businesses, while 'Venture Capital' serves primarily technology start-ups and emerging businesses. Thoughts? Thanks.
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted March 19, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted March 19, 2005 Investment Banks is much too large for a new editor, absent an extraordinary application. Perhaps the Middle Market subcategory (a little large, but possibly acceptable with a good application) or the Investor Relations subcategory? Or you could always apply for a Regional category in your home town, where you live now, or where you spent a lot of time. I am not among the editors who decide on editor applications, but those categories appear to be within the guidelines for new editors.
