Rbailey Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Advertising_and_Marketing/Advertising/Promotional_Items/ Can anyone tell me if there are any active editors for this category, and or if it is possible to contact them directly? Our company is missing out big time in not being listed here, and although I understand how Dmoz is a massive wait and frustration for many others around the World, I would have thought that this specific category was relatively small and easy to maintain, compared to some. If I was able to become a fair editor to this category, that would be of interest, but I presume there are no editor positions available? Kind regards, Ricky Bailey
Editall/Catmv makrhod Posted March 30, 2009 Editall/Catmv Posted March 30, 2009 Yes, there are over 200 volunteers who can edit in that category if they choose to do so. You can read more in the FAQ (linked at the top of every page here), particularly the one entitled "There's no editor for my category - will my suggestion ever get reviewed?" We always welcome new volunteers who are interested in helping to build and improve the directory with us, so by all means apply. That category is far too large for a new editor, but you could apply for one of the subcategories - just make sure you read the application forma carefully and answer all the questions fully and honestly.

Rbailey Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Hi there Makrhod, Thanks for your reply. Please could you advice me how I can go about applying to become an editor for this exact subcategory: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Advertising_and_Marketing/Advertising/Promotional_Items/ Thanks very much, Ricky
jimnoble Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 That category is too large for a beginner - which is why it doesn't have a become an editor link at the top of the page. Perhaps try for one of its subcategories? Once you can demonstrate that you've learned the basics, you'll be able to request wider permissions.
Editall/Catmv makrhod Posted March 30, 2009 Editall/Catmv Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks for your reply.You're welcome, but if you had actually read it, jimnoble would not have had to repeat my advice. I hope you will take more care when reading the instructions and advice on the application form. FAQ about becoming a volunteer ODP editor.
