I already merged the thread with the right one. But, yes, this would be the right thread for it in the future.

A few BKK Hotel problems

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Provinces/Bangkok/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Hotels/

 

Baiyoke Suite Hotel and the Baiyoke Sky Hotel listings can't be found. They can, however, be found under the root (http://www.baiyokehotel.com/). Maybe list root at country level also in that they've got a separate url for a hotel in Pattaya.

 

The Imperial Impala Hotel site is under construction. The urls of the other 2 Imperial properties seem to be OK.

 

Radisson Hotel Bangkok, Thailand - Too much redundancy in the desc. I can't possibly be the one who wrote that, can I?

 

Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers - redirects to a Starwoodhotels.com url.

 

Tower Inn Hotel - seems to be renamed the Unico Grande Silom Hotel.

item 2827 done thanks,

Baiyoke only changed url formats

Radisson doesn't resolve for me, waiting to view it before rewriting desc

FYI,

 

A listing named:

"Lotto Creo Professional"

 

under

Top: Games: Gambling: Lotteries: Software and Tools, is trying to install backdoors and trojans. It even says that you need to install their ActiveX....

 

When I click this listing my AntiVirus ( NOD32 ), is shouting repeatedly.

Also, a broken link for "Lotto Mechanic".

 

Good day

[jimson3]

The Radisson (Bangkok) (item 2827-2828) is redirecting to http://www.radisson.com/bangkokth/

#2829 has been done.

#2830 done thanks

Chiang Mai lodging

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Provinces/Chiang_Mai/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Guesthouses/,

 

Golden Fern Guest House - url is bad; new one is http://www.goldenfernthailand.com/

 

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Provinces/Chiang_Mai/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Hotels/,

 

The Imperial Mae Ping Hotel - no response, however the hotel can be found at http://www.goldenfernthailand.com/

 

Lisu Lodge - redirects to http://www.asian-oasis.com/ which is also listed under Recreation/. The lodge is a deeplink there and seems that should be the url shown. asian-oasis.com is owned by East West Siam (ewsiam.com) which is listed under Regional/Thailand///TO's.

 

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Provinces/Chiang_Mai/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Resorts/,

 

Doi Farang Bungalow - am getting no response.

[gimmster]

#2833 done, thanks

Doi Farang Bungalow works for me.

new address for dead link

 

I'm new to this whole discussion thing, so hope I'm doing it in the correct place/manner. The address that you currently have in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu section for Cassio Werneck's Jiu Jitsu is dead and has been changed. The new link is http://www.cassiowerneck.com

Thanks

Item #2835 is done.

 

Note: It is very helpful to have a clickable link to the category and the current url included with this type of request. But I found it.

Title: Hellas Ferries

URL: http://www.hellasferries.gr/

Category: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Greece/Transportation/Maritime/Sea_Lines/Ferries/

 

Like paleologos.gr at #1378, this site is an affiliate of http://www.forthcrs.gr and not a maritime or ferry company. It is operated by the same company that operates the following site:

 

Title: Hellas Guide

URL: http://www.hellas-guide.com

Category: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Greece/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Guides/

 

Another question is whether both sites should be listed on ODP since information about ferries is related to travel.

 

Sorry for posting after a lot of time.

Just to clear something.

Both this websites have nothing to do with each other. one of them http://www.hellas-guide.com is A tourist guide and I m the owner and the other http://www.hellasferries.gr is the website of one of most reliable Travel Agents in Greece (wholseller for Ferry tickets on Italy-Greece) connections.

It is not an affiliate of http://www.forthcrs.gr, that itself is a ferry tickets ordering system only for travel agents.

 

The same i have to say for a lot of other sites like greekferries.gr.

Maybe the guy writing this post here is affiliated with greekferries.gr

 

Also paleologos.gr is another Travel agent, that also is not affiliate of forthcrs

 

Best regards from Greece

Please remove this dead link

 

Hi everybody

 

Please remove the link to "Interrail Skandinavien 2005"

 

in http://www.dmoz.org/World/Deutsch/Freizeit/Reisen/Reiseberichte/Europa/Skandinavien/

 

The site does not exist any longer.

 

Thanks

[dogbows]

Someone needs to take a look at titles and descriptions in this category:

Category removed, see post after next

There seems to be an abundance of keywords in a few.

#2838 done, thanks

[brmehlman]

Re item 2839:

 

Please don't single out a category with a named editor like that. It really amounts to a complaint about a specific editor, which is against the TOS of this forum.

[waltgerris]

In this category, two items are in need of updating ASAP please:

#2842 is all set.

 

Thank you kind DMOZ editor, you've made the Internet a better place.

[croatiankid]

I guess I'll give a hand since there's nothing else to do

 

Category: Business: Business Services: Consulting: Marketplaces: Talent Auctions

 

First entry (=adveres):

The site doesn't provide original content. If you click on any of the categories, you'll see that it just brings projects from popular freelance/outsourcing sites.

 

Suggestion: removal

Open Society Institute - Croatia

http://www.soros.hr/ redirects to hosting company http://www.iskon.hr/, somebody forgot to pay the bill

[waltgerris]

while we are at it - let's get them all

 

Let's get them all, the Chicago GSB is changing from a hodgepodge of domains to chicagogsb.edu now 5,000 pages - there is only a few hundred gsb.uchicago.edu to migrate left.
