Incorrect category

 

I'm posting here on the advice of the admin jimnoble.

 

All 4 sites listed on the following page are in the wrong category:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Turkey/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Vacation_Rentals/

 

They are localised private vacation rentals and the category description clearly states that it is only for websites with rentals all across Turkey.

This category is for the listing of sites with a presence throughout the region. If your site does not have locations or offer information serving the entire region, please submit to your locality instead.

 

For example the correct category for the website "Eagle's Nest" in Marmaris is here:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Turkey/Provinces/Mugla/Districts/Marmaris/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/

#4528 done. I was in Fethiye and Gocek only last month - a beautiful area.

[whats_up_skip]

Site appears to have been removed.

 

Under Regional/Asia/Japan/Prefectures/Hiroshima/Guides_and_Directories/ there is a listing (http://www.hiroshima.org/), but on this web site there is now only a simple image and some Japanese. I think this needs to be removed.

#4530 done, thanks .

Listing not worthy

 

Under /Society/History/By_Time_Period/Twentieth_Century/Wars_and_Conflicts/World_War_II/Atomic/ there is the listing for http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2125.html which only contains a list of around 10 English language links to sites that are mainly in the DMOZ anyway. I don't think this provides sufficiently unique information or organizes the information in a better way.

Dead or Bad Listings

 

Category: Top: Society: Law: Services: Lawyers and Law Firms: Immigration: North America: United States: California

 

URL: - Reason

http://www.anjafreudenthal.com/ - Host reports "No Site". Domain expires in 2 weeks.

 

http://www.bijevlaw.com/ - Entire site reports "404 page not found".

 

http://www.davidwhalen.com/ - No longer related to Law: Services. Now it's a blog about making videos for charities.

 

http://www.infotechimmigration.com/ - 404 page not found.

 

http://www.immigration-law-attorneys.com/ - Possibly email harvesting site: "The law offices of XXX are proud to provide immigration and naturalization legal services to the community of YYY." XXX and YYY are all over the site and there is a form for personal info.

 

http://www.infotechimmigration.com/ - Network Solutions "Under Construction" page with spam-type search.

 

http://www.advancedimmigrationsolutions.com/ AND http://www.kuver.com/ - Same site (for the most part) with same contact info.

 

http://www.usa-immigration-attorneys.com/ - No site... just a mailserver.

 

http://www.lolaw.com/ - No site... DNS points nowhere since Sept. 10, 2009.

 

And that should clean up this category

Re: #4541

I merged your new thread into this one, and I have dealt with all the problem URLs, thank you very much.

The ones which may be misplaced I have left for someone else who might know where they belong.
