Application Question

[Guest Warren]

Hi,

 

I was reading about what is required to become an editor. It mentions that I will have to give a review of three websites.

 

Do I review three sites that are already listed on the dmoz? Isn't it going to be very difficult to find sites that are not on the dmoz?

 

Thanks

Goodness no! There's tons of stuff not listed. If you don't have a particular category in mind (hobby or interest) consider trying for your hometown in the Regional branch. Finding sites is pretty easy searching by ZIP code or locality name.

 

Finding 3 new sites appropriate for the category you are requesting is the first part of the test. Being able to title and describe them according to guidelines is the second part.

 

Good Luck!

I guess it is logically possible that in a few rare categories, all the sites worthy of inclusion have already been added. Likely this would happen only in a cat with a *very* narrow topic. Such may exist though. However, I'd have to wonder why someone would want to edit a cat where there are no sites that exist that haven't been added? Certainly would be boring.

I just did another mining for a category I would have sworn (6 month ago) you couldn't find another quality site for. Category doubled in size this time. Not only that there are new sites, I'm a lot better in finding them today :-)

Offhand I can think of one cat where there are no more quality sites out there, based on my standard of quality. In any case, assuming the editor in such cats is good at mining for them, he'd find all of them quick, and they likely aren't going to be popping up quick.
