billmo Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Please advise of status. Below is the category we submitted to: http://www.dmoz.com/Shopping/Visual_Arts/Ethnic_and_Regional/European/Irish/ Thank you. Bill Morrison.
Meta kokopeli Posted March 15, 2003 Meta Posted March 15, 2003 This site is not sitting in unreivewed at http://www.dmoz.com/Shopping/Visual_Arts/Ethnic_and_Regional/European/Irish/, nor was it deleted from there--it appears to have never been submitted. It was moved to http://www.dmoz.com/Shopping/Visual_Arts/Painting/Galleries/ from a category for misplaced sites and is currently waiting review there. [edited to correct url, as I had used an editor only link]
billmo Posted April 4, 2003 Author Posted April 4, 2003 Can you give us any indication as to time scale for possible inclusion? Regards, Bill Morrison.
billmo Posted April 4, 2003 Author Posted April 4, 2003 Are there any other catagories we can submit to in addition that are perhaps not as busy without interfering with our original submission. Thanks
Meta kokopeli Posted April 4, 2003 Meta Posted April 4, 2003 Sites should not be submitted to a category just because the wait may or may not be as long. It should be submitted to the one best category that applies to the site. Otherwise...it just takes time to move the site to where it belongs. The only exception would be if you have a brick and mortar store, you are welcome to submit to the most appropriately regional category for a second listing. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
lachenm Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Supplementing kokopeli's fine answer... To answer your first question: No, we can't give you any idea of the time. It will get reviewed when an editor has time to review it. Since editors are volunteers, and are not required to review sites in any particular order, there is no way to predict exactly when your site will be reviewed. To answer your second question: It appears from your website that you have a brick-and-mortar address, so you would be eligible for listing in a Regional branch category. Many sites are entitled to a Regional listing and a Topical listing, and the submissions are independent of each other. You should submit in an appropriate subcategory of the place where your business is located. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on UK addresses (OK, actually I know absolutely nothing about them <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> ), so I'm guessing that your address indicates that your village is in Belfast. If that is the case, since there is no more specific category for your village, the appropriate Belfast category for an art gallery (or collection of galleries) would be http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Northern_Ireland/Belfast/Arts_and_Entertainment/ .
billmo Posted April 26, 2003 Author Posted April 26, 2003 Any idea when this url will be added (if it is accepted) to following category? web page
billmo Posted April 26, 2003 Author Posted April 26, 2003 how many sites are waiting to be submitted to following category: web page first submitted site last october, 2002. any idea if and when it will be added Thanks Bill
motsa Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 We ask that people leave at least a month between queries. So, come back after May 4 and we'll be glad to give you an update. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
motsa Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 You're waiting there (though the submission date is only April 19, 2003) with a small number of other sites. You're also waiting in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Visual_Arts/Painting/Galleries . We can't give you a timeframe for review but it's there and will be reviewed eventually.
lachenm Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 I'm afraid your site is still waiting with over 250 others. This may take a while. Is there any reason why you didn't also want to submit to an appropriate Regional category as I suggested above? The wait is likely much shorter, and it would not interfere with being listed in the Shopping category.
Meta kokopeli Posted May 7, 2003 Meta Posted May 7, 2003 There is no change, your site is still waiting there with a submission date of 14/Dec/2002 09:14:33 MST. The queue is quite large, so it will likely be quite awhile longer before your site is viewed. Sorry to not have better news.
billmo Posted May 29, 2003 Author Posted May 29, 2003 I submitted our site to the following regional category: http://www.dmoz.com/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Northern_Ireland/Down/ Can someone give us an update on this submission? ie date submission was received how many other sites are waiting to be reveiwed and likely time scale. Many thanks.
lachenm Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 Your submission of 19 April 2003 is awaiting review with fewer than a dozen sites. Sorry, there's no way to give a timeframe for review. Editors are volunteers, and they edit when they have the time.

uzs980 Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 You have probably noticed that your site has meanwhile been added to both Arts: Visual Arts: Galleries: Europe: United Kingdom: Northern Ireland and Regional: Europe: United Kingdom: Northern Ireland: Down: Hillsborough. Your submission of December 14th, 2002 is still waiting for review in Shopping: Visual Arts: Painting: Galleries along with some hundreds of other sites. Yours, Robert
billmo Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 Can we please have an update on our site submitted 14/12/2002. Thanks.
