Meta hutcheson Posted April 13, 2005 Meta Posted April 13, 2005 The site is waiting there for review. As always, we have no way of knowing how long it will take for an editor to undertake work in that category.
Boo-z Posted April 13, 2005 Author Posted April 13, 2005 I really feel :o now....I just found a category that suits me much better...actually perfect. This is why I have not been selected I'm sure. I apologize for wasting anyone's time. this is the right category: http://dmoz.org/Business/Publishing_and_Printing/Printing/Equipment_and_Supplies/Heat_Transfer/Stock_or_Custom_Transfers/ Should I just resubmit to the new category or email the editor of the closest parent category about submitting it to the incorrect category?
bobrat Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I don't see any advantage in doing that. The disadvantage is that since editors often do cleanups of duplciates of sites awaiting review by removing the duplicates - then one of two things happens. 1. The previous submission to the "wrong" category gets deleted - leaving the latest. If the editor then reviews sites in date order, you are at the end of the line. And at that point the editor might decide that was not the right category and move it to await review again. -OR- 2. The latest submission gets deleted, and you didn't end up doing anything usefull other than having a note attached to your site history about having a duplicate [not that serious for one duplicate] removed.
bobrat Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Never give up - no reason to expect your site will not be listed at some point. You have done what you need to do for ODP, there are lots of other ways of marketing where you should put your energies. However one more thing - make a second suggestion of your site to Regional/North_America/United_States/Kentucky/Localities/S/Salvisa/ http://editors.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Kentucky/Localities/S/Salvisa/ [You are allowed to send it to the location of you business and sometimes these get reviewed faster]
Boo-z Posted April 14, 2005 Author Posted April 14, 2005 http://editors.dmoz.org/Regional/No...ties/S/Salvisa/ I cannot find this for some reason? Is this like for an editor only?
djdeeds Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Yes, please use http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Kentucky/Localities/S/Salvisa/ instead. Thanks.

Does this mean I cannot get listed in the Heat Transfers category now?
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted May 10, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted May 10, 2005 I have been added to the regional site thanks to your help! Does this mean I cannot get listed in the Heat Transfers category now? No. A site can be listed in both Regional and "topical" categories.
