powdork Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 I recently (not too recently) submitted http://www.tahoeweddings.com to the following category http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Relationships/Weddings/Directories_and_Guides/United_States/ Just wondering if there is hope.
motsa Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 You were last given a status update in your original thread in the Submissions forum in early March (i.e. a week ago). Please leave at least a month between status checks. Thanks.
powdork Posted April 14, 2003 Author Posted April 14, 2003 Hello, Just checking back to see if anything has changed. As an editor I can view the editor logs for the category. Can I assume that if I don't see any changes there it would still be in the queue?
motsa Posted April 14, 2003 Posted April 14, 2003 Can I assume that if I don't see any changes there it would still be in the queue?No, you can't.
uzs980 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 What you can do: Add the site too your Bookmarks category and have a look at the editors' comments.
powdork Posted April 15, 2003 Author Posted April 15, 2003 Okay I did that (thanks) and I got this ***** editor note deleted Which does not jibe with this from the thread referenced above from 3/6/03 Your submission is waiting in http://dmoz.org/Society/Relationships/Weddings/Directories_and_Guides/United_States/. Does that mean Senox resubmitted it for me?
motsa Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I deliberately didn't mention adding to bookmarks precisely because I didn't want you to start bringing up editor notes in this forum. This isn't the place to do that. So here's a slightly longer answer: (1) you can't necessarily tell what's happening with your site by looking at the category logs; (2) you can't necessarily tell what's happening with your site from looking at the editor notes; (3) you can find out what's happening with your site by asking here. You're still in the queue. Feel free to come back in a month to ask again.
powdork Posted September 6, 2003 Author Posted September 6, 2003 Status:www.tahoeweddings.com I heard in WebmasterWorld that the public side had updated. I checked my previous category http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/California/Regions/Lake_Tahoe/Business_and_Economy/ and it was not there. Just curious as to whether it had been moved, removed, or changed and will reappear with next update of public side.
brmehlman Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Re: Status:www.tahoeweddings.com Could we keep questions about the same site in the original thread please?
Guest mysticstar Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Re: Status:www.tahoeweddings.com I have clicked on the link you have supplied and the category seems to show up for me.
powdork Posted September 6, 2003 Author Posted September 6, 2003 Re: Status:www.tahoeweddings.com Hi, Brmehlman, Sorry, I would have used the original thread but this is now a different situation. This is a different category that the site was already in but disappeared from this morning. Firestorm, I was referring to tahoeweddings.com, which used to be in that category, rather than the category itself.
brmehlman Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Re: Status:www.tahoeweddings.com Regardless of category, we like to keep queries about a site to a single thread. It makes things a lot easier for us to follow. Thanks, appreciate your understanding.
Guest mysticstar Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Re: Status:www.tahoeweddings.com It appears your directory has been removed due to a lack of listings and origional material. You may resubmit this site in the future if your directory grows bigger.
Guest mysticstar Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Re: Status:www.tahoeweddings.com brmehlman, I appologize for continuing to answer this person's question in this category. When I went to submit my responce you already replied while I was typing the responce and I didn't know.
brmehlman Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Re: Status:www.tahoeweddings.com Not to worry, I never could keep a bad mood going when faced with a good apology.
powdork Posted February 16, 2004 Author Posted February 16, 2004 Just checking in again on the status of tahoeweddings.com. It now has morphed into a larger thing than it was at the time of original submission. I would like to submit it to some local cats as well. That's not a problem, is it?
motsa Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 It could be, depending on where you're thinking of submitting it.
powdork Posted February 17, 2004 Author Posted February 17, 2004 Thanks for the response. I wasn't sure if you were asking or not, but... http://dmoz.org/Sports/Winter_Sports/Skiing/Backcountry/ http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/California/Regions/Lake_Tahoe/Recreation_and_Sports/ Once I get the content up to par in the camping and fishing sections, I would consider those as well.
spectregunner Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 The regional location should be eligible for consideration if that is where you are physically located. As for the other topical listings, please keep in mind that we list websites, not pages and that multiple topical listings are the exception rather than the rule. A site would have to have fairly profound unique content to get a second topical listing at present.
spectregunner Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 A better question to ask is: What content is on my website TODAY and what is the single best category that I can find that reflects that content? Forget about tomorrow's content, or next month's content -- what do you have here and now? What category do you think it belongs in. Post the answers to those questions and you may receive some further assistance in terms of steering you to a better selection, but this editor, for one, is not going to do your basic research for you. I don't do my young guy's homework either -- though I do help him after he has given it his very best shot.

A site would have to have fairly profound unique content to get a second topical listing at present. Point taken. The section on backcountry skiing is both unique and very different from the wedding part of the site. Also, I don't actually have a current listing, have been in a queue for over a year and I may not rely on any aspect of a site's inclusion in the directory, so it's not like I'm really asking for a second listing. Of course, technically, maybe it is the same. I guess thats what I may be asking.
powdork Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 A better question to ask is: What content is on my website TODAY and what is the single best category that I can find that reflects that content? I can only assume you thought the post above yours was from the original poster, which it was not. I would not ask you to do the homework for me, and I have done ALOT of homework. Peace
powdork Posted February 19, 2004 Author Posted February 19, 2004 I'm still hoping to find out the status of it's submission in http://dmoz.org/Society/Relationships/Weddings/Directories_and_Guides/United_States/ Thanks
yapuka Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 It's awaiting review there, no need to submit again.
