Bad sites listed

Hi!

I`ll explain what do I consider "bad":

1. Sites that sell illegal (non licensed) content/products.

2. Sites that have most pages with Fatal error

3. Sites that show 404 instead of index.

4. Sites that have show quite opposite pages on local version and english version.

Enough? I guess that this list combines well with ODP terms.

Now I ask responsible editors to check it for bad sites this category: http://www.dmoz.org/World/Russian/%d0%9f%d0%be%d0%ba%d1%83%d0%bf%d0%ba%d0%b8/%d0%a0%d0%b0%d0%b7%d0%b2%d0%bb%d0%b5%d1%87%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b8%d1%8f/%d0%9c%d0%b5%d0%b4%d0%b8%d0%b0-%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%be%d0%b4%d1%83%d0%ba%d1%82%d1%8b/%d0%92%d0%b8%d0%b4%d0%b5%d0%be/ .

Thank you.

Now I ask responsible editors to check it for bad sites this category:

Whenever a volunteer editor feels like it, I´m sure the category would be updated.

It would be of great help though if you could specify which listed sites should be removed and why in each case.

4. Sites that have show quite opposite pages on local version and english version.

I´m not sure that disqualifies a listing, each listing is evaluated separately in the different language trees.

Category Entry Issues

Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Montana/Localities/P/Polson/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/

I encountered the following issues I wanted to bring to your attention:

Duplicate Entry in Same Category. The URL of the second entry below is redirected to the URL of the first entry

Big Fork Real Estate

- Serving Bigfork, Polson, and Kalispell Montana.

Wilma Mixon-Hall ERA Compass Realty Sales Executive

- Site for properties in the Flathead Lake area, Polson, Montana.

Duplicate Entry in Same Category. I suspect the second entry below hosted on a freeweb server is the one that needs to be removed because the first entry has it's own URL.

Montana International Realty Plus

- Specializing in ranch real estate, farmland and lakefront property. Includes current listings and area information.

Montana International Realty Plus

- Local owner and broker selling western Montana ranch, residential, and recreational properties.

It would be of great help though if you could specify which listed sites should be removed and why in each case.

Ok, no problem. It`s a local category, so I`ll just copy-paste descriptions in Russian.
