derekd Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 Hello, I would like to request the status of http://www.collectiblesgifts.com I submitted it to http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Figurines/ a few months ago (and again today). Hope I didn't do anything wrong re-submitting today and that I picked the right category. Thanks!
raina Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 Hi derekd, From a quick glance, that category looks like the right one for your site, yes. Your site is waiting to be reviewed there, though the queue is pretty large so it may be awhile <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> Please be patient. Thanks, Dawn ODP editor raina
derekd Posted May 21, 2003 Author Posted May 21, 2003 Hello again, It's been 30 days and my site hasn't been listed... Could I get another status update? --Derek
Meta kokopeli Posted May 21, 2003 Meta Posted May 21, 2003 Your submission dated 20/Apr/2003 02:12:05 MDT is waiting with around 200 other sites. It is unlikely it will be reviewed in the near future, as that section of the directory is badly in need of volunteers. I would suggest checking back in a few months to see if there has been progress. Sorry to not have better news.
derekd Posted May 21, 2003 Author Posted May 21, 2003 At the bottom of the category I submitted to, it says 'Volunteer to edit this category', rather than having the name of the editor. Does this mean the category doesn't even have an editor?
Meta nea Posted May 21, 2003 Meta Posted May 21, 2003 >> Does this mean the category doesn't even have an editor? It merely means that there is no named editor specifically for that category. Every named editor higher in the category tree can edit in the category you submitted to, as can many other editors (metas and editalls). There is no ODP category without an editor.

Meta kokopeli Posted May 21, 2003 Meta Posted May 21, 2003 Actually, I did some work in that category this morning, and did a huge amount of work there a month ago or so (there were twice as many sites waiting then). I know it causes submittors concern, but it really is very true that there is always someone who can and will at some point edit there. Every day numerous categories that say an editor is needed has someone editing in them regardless of the message. The best advice I could give is to not resubmit anymore. You mentioned submitting months ago, and then submitting again on the day that you were inquiring about the thread. When you resubmit you rewrite your previous submission. Editors can sort in various ways (date, title, url, or choose randomly) when editors sort by submission date--which is for instance how I almost always edit--every time you would resubmit you would basically send your site to the end of the line. <img src="/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" />
derekd Posted July 23, 2003 Author Posted July 23, 2003 Hello again, It's been 60 days since my last post and I still don't seem to be listed. I was wondering if I could get another status update. Thanks, --Derek
totalxsive Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 You are now waiting for an editor review in Varied Merchandise / C.
derekd Posted August 23, 2003 Author Posted August 23, 2003 Hi, It's been 30 days, could I get another update please. Thanks,
uzs980 Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 There's still nothing new about the submission, I'm sorry. But did you know your site might also be listed in another category? You offer not only online shopping, but also have a physical store. So you may also submit to Regional: North America: United States: Utah: Localities: R: Riverton: Business and Economy. That category isn't backlogged at all, so you might get listed there relatively fast. And in the end your site might be listed in both categories. Yours, Robert
derekd Posted August 24, 2003 Author Posted August 24, 2003 I've submitted to that category as well, about 90 days ago if I remember right...
Meta kokopeli Posted August 24, 2003 Meta Posted August 24, 2003 It is not pending there, nor has it been reviewed or deleted. I would recommend resubmitting.
derekd Posted August 24, 2003 Author Posted August 24, 2003 Thank you for looking. I just re-submitted it.
