lauvergnat Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Hi, I submitted this site to: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/France/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Vacation_Rentals/ on November 2nd 2002, and again quite recently. the category however is editorless, and I have not noticed any change to it in over a year. Any news of when the site might eventually get listed?
Meta tuisp Posted March 21, 2003 Meta Posted March 21, 2003 It's waiting there in unreviewed, along with several dozen other submissions... BTW, did you know that each time you resubmit, you erase the previous submission? So that if an editor is processing them according to their submission date (which they're not required to do, but it seems logical), you lose your rank each time you resubmit. <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Some good news though, if you didn't know it already: the site is listed in World/Français/Régional/France/Voyages_et_tourisme/Hébergement/Locations_de_vacances/Particuliers <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
lauvergnat Posted March 21, 2003 Author Posted March 21, 2003 Thanks for the rapid reply. Yes, I knew it was listed in the French version; I originally submitted this bilingual site to French and English versions at the same time - that was about two years ago if I remember correctly! I submitted a modification to the French version on the day I resubmitted the English version, and the French version was modified within 24 hours. Bravo! I did not know about losing rank on resubmitting, thanks for the tip. I guess that many others of the "several dozen" applicants will be resubmitting from time to time. How long is it until queued sites get automatically removed from the waiting list, or can they wait for ever if no-one actually edits the category?
Meta hutcheson Posted March 21, 2003 Meta Posted March 21, 2003 >How long is it until queued sites get automatically removed from the waiting list, or can they wait for ever if no-one actually edits the category? There is no automatic removal. They could theoretically wait forever.
Meta tuisp Posted March 21, 2003 Meta Posted March 21, 2003 There is no automatic purge of unreviewed queues, and there is no such thing as an orphaned category, as has been said many times in this forum. Any editor can edit all subcats of the cats he is listed in as editor, editalls and meta editors can edit everywhere. The fact that many cats don't have an editor listed just stresses, well, that it's possible to "Volunteer to edit this category", as is said at the bottom of these cats. It's also possible to volunteer to edit cats with one or several editors listed. [Note: No cat with more than a few dozen of listed sites will normally be given to a new editor] [Added: oops, hutcheson was faster <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> ]
lauvergnat Posted April 27, 2003 Author Posted April 27, 2003 Is there any progress on the listing of www.gitelink.bravepages.com ? (originally resubmitted last November... after a year's fruitless wait in an editorless category) KInd regards Lauvergnat
Meta tuisp Posted April 27, 2003 Meta Posted April 27, 2003 FWIW, this category now has an editor listed and your site is still in the queue, which is noticeably smaller... <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
lauvergnat Posted June 8, 2003 Author Posted June 8, 2003 Two months later, and the category still seems to have the same number of entries (41) as ever. Any idea of how near my site is to getting listed? Thanks in advance
Meta mcoupal Posted June 8, 2003 Meta Posted June 8, 2003 There's no telling when a site will be reviewed as there's no pre-defined order in which editors must review sites. Not to mention they try to fit editing in when they get free time. Perhaps you could try viewing the category once a month to check up on it. Curlie: Been trying to give up the editing addiction since day 1. :moz:
Meta kokopeli Posted June 8, 2003 Meta Posted June 8, 2003 This site is a mirror of gitelink-france.tk which is listed and was determined to be the main url. As ODP doesn't list mirrors this url will not be listed and has been deleted. [edited to add] another mirror url was found with the exact same content, please do not continue submitting mirrors, as this can be seen as spamming.
lauvergnat Posted June 8, 2003 Author Posted June 8, 2003 "Perhaps you could try viewing the category once a month to check up on it. " I've been doing this for a year and a half now, and the category remains apparently unupdated, even if there is now an editor. A month ago I was told that the waiting list was shorter. What is the situation now?
Meta kokopeli Posted June 8, 2003 Meta Posted June 8, 2003 You can visit http://dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html#notinclude for further clarification.
Guest wkallander Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 I do not see it explicitly stated above, so I will mention that http://members.aol.com/chazieux/ is indeed listed in Regional/Europe/France/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Vacation_Rentals - it is just that the mirrors of it will not be listed. Hope that helps... [edited to correct url listed]
lauvergnat Posted June 12, 2003 Author Posted June 12, 2003 This is great news - <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Gitelink France is listed at last. Thanks whoever put it there! Re spamming, there was no attempted spamming, just that the site has two addresses and one mirror, and that it has been submitted to DMOZ at least 4 times over two years during which there was no editor for the category. Presumably, and quite unintentionally, it was not always the same address that was submitted... But anyway, now its up, that's great. there will be no need for any more submitting! thanks
Meta hutcheson Posted June 12, 2003 Meta Posted June 12, 2003 >there will be no need for any more submitting! And for that the editors thank you also...may your tribe increase.
lauvergnat Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 Hello, We recently requested that the URL for our site Gitelink France, in the DMOZ directory, should be changed. Thankyou very much for making the change as requested. However, I now see that our site figures twice in succession in the DMOZ directory, page: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/France/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Vacation_Rentals/ Now that's very nice to get the rare privilege of double exposure in DMOZ !! But the idea of changing our URL was to have the old URL changed, not to get a second listing ! We now figure as: # Gitelink France - Directory of privately owned holiday rentals. # Gitelink France - Directory of holiday cottages and rentals organized by region. We would be grateful if an editor could remove the first of these two listings, which is the old URL on AOL that we are phasing out, and just keep the second. If, at the same time, the keyword "gites" could be added to the description, that would be much appreciated. # Gitelink France - Directory of holiday cottages, gites and rentals organized by region. (linking to http://gitelink.bravepages.com) Many thanks Lauvergnat
lauvergnat Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 Wow! That was fast! I guess the modified directory page will not show up for a while though? Regards - Lauvergnat
Meta hutcheson Posted March 3, 2005 Meta Posted March 3, 2005 Yes, automatically, after a time interval between 1 minute and 14 days.
