Guest akossoff Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I submitted my site http://www.jensensilver.com several months ago and never heard anything so I recently resubmitted not realizing that the process took much longer than I thought. I originally submitted to http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Silver_and_Flatware/ but when I resubmitted I thought maybe it was better to apply under http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Jewelry/Estate_and_Collectible/ since we sell vintage silver jewelry, flatware and hollowware. Sorry about that. What do I do and can you give me some idea about where I am on the queue. It is so refreshing to actually deal with people and not robots. I love your directory and the community.
Meta hutcheson Posted February 27, 2003 Meta Posted February 27, 2003 Looks like you made a bunch of submittals. Two of them ended up in the Antique Silver&Flatware category (which looks like the right place to me, and where the queue is under 50 sites.) I moved one of them over to New York (since it claims to have a storefront there.) The other submittals will probably be tracked down and destroyed in due time, but watch for it somewhere in Regional, as well as under Silver&Flatware.
Guest akossoff Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Thanks so much I really appreciate your response. I'll try to keep better records.
Guest akossoff Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 I wondered whether you could give me any updated info on the status of my website review. thanks
Guest akossoff Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 I posted yesterday morning and haven't heard anything. You are usually so immediately responsive that I'm wondering if somehow I got forgotten. If that's not the case, sorry for the second request.
Meta mcoupal Posted March 29, 2003 Meta Posted March 29, 2003 Dmoz is currently down so it could be a few days before anything is examined. Sorry Curlie: Been trying to give up the editing addiction since day 1. :moz:

Guest akossoff Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Hi, thanks for your response. I have a couple of questions. First, shouldn't the listing that exists be under our business name, JENSENSILVER.COM and not by what we sell i.e. Georg Jensen Silver? Also, how come when I search by our URl, www.jensensilver.com in the general ODP search, our URL doesn't come up? Thanks for your update and help.
Guest Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Well yes it should be the business name (which is rarely anything.com), It's confusing the way the address reads on the site as to what the business name is - in fact I would have tossed up between 'Soren Jensen' (the copyright) and 'The Showplace' - Submit an update url request explaining why they got the name wrong (mind you as a user it is not clear either). Search is usually rebuilt weekly, so sites may not show up for that week. Additionally it will never match urls in the form www.jensensilver.com , but look for jensensilver.com instead. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Guest akossoff Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 thanks. will submit the update. I think we should probably also be down one category from http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/New_York/Localities/N/New_York_City/Manhattan/Business_and_Economy/Shopping to antiques and collectibles since we sell vintage georg jensen silver. Should that also go into the request for update? One last thing, can you give me any idea of where we stand in the line for listing under http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Silver_and_Flatware/ Thanks.
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Yes, in the update request, tack on the change category request [add it to the end of the description like this] but only if you don't sell modern pieces as well. Oh, and please don't try to alter the description by filling it with keywords, factual errors are OK to fix, but if the editor just sees a keyword filled description they are not likely to see the additional change requests. As you can see from the info under my name I work in the Regional branch, and am unable to check where your submission is in Shopping - hopefully someone else will let you know. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Meta kokopeli Posted April 2, 2003 Meta Posted April 2, 2003 In regards to shopping, site is in a smallish queue of around 30 sites <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Guest akossoff Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Based on earlier responses in this thread, I understood I was waiting for review in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Silver_and_Flatware/ Any new info on the queue there? thanks
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Yes, thats where we meant, Shopping is the root of the tree, and as it had already been stated where it was waiting, just the generic category 'Shopping' is what we said as shorthand. In full Your site is waiting in a queue of around 30 sites in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Silver_and_Flatware/ and sorry - we can't give an estimated time to review. There are just too many variables involved. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Guest akossoff Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Thanks once again for the info. I'll check back in a month. Also would like to thank regional editor. Changes requested yesterday already made.
Guest akossoff Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Hi, Was hoping for an update on www.jensensilver.com in the queue for http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Silver_and_Flatware/ thanks alot
lachenm Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Unfortunately, there's no change. It's still waiting with about the same number of sites.
Guest akossoff Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 Hi, Can you give me an update on when my site might get reviewed in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Silver_and_Flatware/ Thanks
Meta kokopeli Posted June 1, 2003 Meta Posted June 1, 2003 We can never tell you when a site would be reviewed. Editors are volunteer, and as a result review sites when it fits into their schedules. There are just too many variables to provide a time frame. All I can tell you is that your submission from Feb 24 is still waiting in the queue with around 30 or so other sites, and that your site is listed in Regional: North America: United States: New York: Localities: N: New York City: Manhattan: Business and Economy: Shopping: Antiques and Collectibles.
Guest akossoff Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Hi, Can you tell me whether www.jensensilver.com has moved up any on the queue for http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Silver_and_Flatware/ Thanks
raggedyrugs Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Still there and still waiting. I would suggest waiting at least two months for an update as the queue hasn't moved very much. Sorry I couldn't be the bearer of better news!
giz Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 With all the downtime a while back, lots of server errors, and so on, things slowed a little. There are some big changes coming in the next few weeks. After that, if everything goes well, then it might be a lot easier to use the new editing system. That might speed up some applications a little, but which ones and where no-one can possibly know.
