This is the Open Directory Project.

 

Search engines? We've heard of them. We've even heard of forums that discuss them.

 

You could always use everyone's favorite directory to find forums discussing search engines. Enjoy.

but google says that " if your site is updated in dmoz then it will be automatically updated in google " So that only im asking you is there is any link between dmoz & other search engines.

i dont want to discuss about search engines...ok

 

thank u

if your site is updated in dmoz then it will be automatically updated in google
You will, however, note it does not say when it will be updated in the Google directory (which is what that statement refers to).

 

DMOZ is spidered by any search engines that care to do so. There is no link between us and any search engine, greater than that.

Just for clarity's sake , note that this will do nothing to speed your submission's listing in ODP (DMOZ) but only, perhaps, among Google's search links.

Submitting your site was all you have to do, and all you can do. Just go on with whatever other tasks you have on your list, and - if your site qualifies for a listing - your site will be listed eventually.

 

And if your site does not qualify, you would not have submitted it,right? Right. So no need to worry about that.

And what if an editor refuses to list the english version of an website, even the versions in other languages of the same website are aproved by other DMOZ editors?

Yes, each language section is evaluated on its own merit. It's not at all unusual for a site to be listed in some of its languages and not in others. The quality of the language, the amount of content in that language, and the content available on OTHER websites in that language, all combine to require a separate editorial judgment for each language. This should be obvious if you consider the concept of "unique" information.

 

And that's not just the list/no-list decision. Obviously, the number of other sites in each language, and the number of editors that CAN review sites in each language, mean that the different languages will almost certainly be reviewed at different times.

 

This should also be obvious, if you think about it. Suppose I, as an editor, find a site in English and Norwegian. Now, I don't read Norwegian. So all I can do is review the English section, and send the Norwegian section to a World/Norsk category. Sometime later it will be reviewed there. I am not going to wait until we have a group of editors speaking all the necessary languages, all ready to edit, all interested in editing the same subject at the same time! That would be insane. Instead, I'm going to review what I can review and not worry about when the rest happens.

The site was edited and aproved in "other languages", and in English not.

And it was submited to the proper category in English language.

Regarding the content... it was/is a directory, that means the information has the same value in English or other languages.

But, unfortunately, some editors (not all, of course) are treating DMOZ like their own property and are looking down to the people.

But "we live in an unfair world" as a cinic editor wrote somewhere on this forum! :)

Sigh. Sometimes the obvious things aren't obvious even when rubbed across olfactory organ...

 

Let me try this again.

 

The English section and the other sections of a multilingual site are almost never evaluated at the same time.

 

What does that mean?

 

It means you'll see one language section of a site reviewed and listed, and another language section not listed.

 

Not because editors are being unfair. Because editors don't all review the same site at the same time. Because editors who DON'T SPEAK EACH OTHER'S LANGUAGE don't coordinate their reviews. How could they? THEY CAN'T TALK TO EACH OTHER!

 

How else could it be? How else could it EVER be?

If you have proof of abusive activity then make an abuse report using the proper channels.

 

Otherwise, making across the board accusations against DMOZ editos is not a nice thing to do.

 

And FYI, since I recently was reviewing some bilingual sites, I found many of them that supposedly had English content, in fact had incomplete translation, or broken navigation and were not listable.

 

By incomplete translaton, I do not mean the translation was poor English, I mean that whole sections of text were just not translated. This is not uncommon, as is having English links on the sites that either do not lead anywhere, or go to the same section as the non English.

I didn't mean to hurt anybody, believe me.

But about that website I must tell you that it's a "delay" of about one year and a half from the aproval of the "other" language version till this moment (and the English version is still waiting).

Posted
That kind of delay is neither common nor extremely unusual. It has little significance: don't try to interpret it.

 

OK, I won't!

Sorry for bothering you. :)
