Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 We submitted our site: http://www.1-rated-british-smoked-foods-salmon-balsamic-caviar-vinegar.com to the Top: Shopping: Food: Specialty and Gourmet catagory, and I just realized that there is no editor assigned here. Can someone tell me if our site was reviewed and if we should have submitted the site to a different section that has an editor? Thanks in advance! :/images/dmoz/purplegrin.gif Jeff
Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status I'm personally not at all fond of listing any URL which has the format you use. http://dmoz.org/add.html says to submit the site to the ONE most appropriate category (editor listed or not).
Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status Can you tell me if it has been accepted yet? Thanks! Sorry about the URL.
hildea Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status The site is still waiting in the unreviewed queue, and hasn't been touched yet. Unfortunately, the queue is rather long, so you will probably have to wait quite a while. /images/icons/frown.gif <blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr><p>Can someone tell me ... if we should have submitted the site to a different section that has an editor?<p><hr></blockquote>No, there's no point in doing that. From a (brief) look at your site, you have submitted to the most appropriate category - congrats! /images/icons/smile.gif If you submit to another cat, the editor there will simply have to forward the site to the right one (where it is already waiting). Shopping/Food/Specialty_and_Gourmet/ can be edited by editors listed at Shopping/Food/ and Shopping/, as well as all editors with editall permissions. Hope that helps! Regards, Hilde
Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status Great thanks for the info. We will sit tight and wait. Cheers! /images/icons/smile.gif
Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=www.1-rated-british-smoked-foods-salmon-balsamic-caviar-vinegar.com says it is not accepted yet. I checked and it hasn't been handled by any editor at this point.
Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status Yes, hildea said that it is in the que to be reviewed, but that the que is rather long and that it would be awhile. I guess this is a busy catagory. /images/icons/frown.gif Thanks for your help though! - Jeff
totalxsive Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status You could also try submitting to Regional/.../Winnipeg/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Food/ - often we allow sites to be listed once in Regional/ and once elsewhere. The submission queue is very short there (perhaps only a few days).
Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status Ok, we will do that as well. I wasn't aware you could submit to 2 different catagories. Thanks! :/images/dmoz/purplegrin.gif
Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status I dunno about that-- what about the site is regional in nature? With a URL like that it exists only on the internet, right?
marisa1116 Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Re: Submission Status >often we allow sites to be listed once in Regional/ and once elsewhere< If this company doesn't have a storefront in Winnipeg, it won't get a Regional listing.
apeuro Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 Re: Submission Status If this company doesn't have a storefront in Winnipeg, it won't get a Regional listing. I disagree. While this debate should be restricted to the internal ODP fora, I will say that considering Amazon.com is listed in the Seattle Shopping category this site should be no different.
marisa1116 Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 Re: Submission Status >While this debate should be restricted to the internal ODP fora< Why, yes it should Apeuro. But since you're doing this here, I'll rephrase: Unless it has some sort of "Regional presence" it won't be listed in Winnipeg - that work for you?
Guest Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 Re: Submission Status Sorry, I didn't mean to start anything! :/images/dmoz/purplegrin.gif I already submitted it to the regional section as recommended. I trust this won't affect our main listing submission that is currently pending? Thanks - Jeff
marisa1116 Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 Re: Submission Status >I trust this won't affect our main listing submission that is currently pending? < Absolutely not. No worries /images/dmoz/purplegrin.gif
