Guest tennismaster Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Please could you give me a status report on http://www.tennismaster.co.uk in DMOZ cat: http://dmoz.org/Sports/Tennis/ Thanks [edited thread title - apeuro] tennismaster
dfy Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Re: Site Status Since your site is about betting rather than about tennis, you should have submitted to Games/Gambling/Sports/Tipping_and_Handicapping/T, but your site is already there waiting for attention.
Guest tennismaster Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Re: Site Status Thanks dfy, I did realize after submitting to tennis that it was perhaps not the best cat. I waited a while then re-summitted to the cat you mentioned. Any idea how long or how many other sites are waiting in that cat? tennismaster
dfy Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Re: Site Status There are only two other sites in there alongside yours, but that doesn't mean that your site will be reviewed any more rapidly.
uzs980 Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Re: Site Status The category page was updated on january 12th, but only because a misplaced site was move to a more appropriate category. There is nothing new about your submission. It has neither been accepted nor rejected. We must still ask you to be patient. You may ask again in a month's time. Please reuse this thread then! For your information: Editors usually don't send emails when they approve or reject a site - it would just take a lot of time that can better be used reviewing another site. Yours, Robert
Guest tennismaster Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Uzs980, Thanks for that update. One more question if possible - Does the CAT that we are in have a editor? If not, will it not take a very long time before anyone reviews it? TM
uzs980 Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 The category Gambes: Gambling: Sports: Tipping and Handicapping: T does not have an editors of its own, so it is looked after by higher level editors, for example one of the editors of Games: Gambling. But these have to cover a large section of the directory. We really can't say when one of them will take some time to got to the category in question. There is certainly a lack of good editors in the Games: Gambling: Sports category and its subcategories.
Guest tennismaster Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Uxs980, Interesting, as I applied to become a editor in the gambling Cat (tipping & Handicapping), but was turned down because the CAT was too large ! TM
uzs980 Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 All in all, there are more than 200 listed sites in Games: Gambling: Sports: Tipping and Handicapping and its subcategories and more than 100 waiting for review. That's a bit large for a new editor. If you'd like to reapply, choose a nice small category with less than 50 listed sites, for example one of the letter categories or one of the kinds of sports (except Football perhaps; that category is already somewhat large). One could even suggest a new Tennis subcategory if there are enough sites around. If you do your job well in your first, small category, you can apply for more, larger and higher level categories. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> Yours, Robert
steveb Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 tennismaster... What uzs980 said. The small categories may seem absurdly small at first, but that is where you should start, and when it comes to that area of the directory, it should be easy to find one small category where you can submit three quality sites on an application. After you get a puny category, and become an editor and can use the internal forums, it is much easier to understand the process and gain permissions to edit larger areas. Gambling/Sports in general could use two or three knowledgable people willing to do some work, so I hope you apply to a smaller category.
Guest tennismaster Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Any developments with: http://www.tennismaster.co.uk ?
steveb Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 It's there in the "T" queue by itself awaiting an editor qualified to evaluate it.
Guest tennismaster Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Hi, End of the month again so any progress ? http://www.tennismaster.co.uk
