Some K&T matters

 

In the cat, http://dmoz.org/Kids_and_Teens/People_and_Society/Psychology/ out of 34 listings, there are eleven deeplinks of kidshealth.org - is this normal, or excessive? I thought one domain within a single category was the limit. Similarly, there are also 2 listings for ncpamd.com (in fact, the 2nd listing is a deeplink of the first) as well as 2 listings for encyclopedia.com (and one of these is search page of listings - do you really want this?).

 

That's Me! A Guide to Personality from thinkquest is unavailable.

 

Why do we get nervous (http://www.baltimorepsych.com/Kids_Pages.htm#Why%20Do%20We%20Get%20Nervous?) is a mirror of the first ncpamd.com mentioned above.

 

Young Dreamers Global Community & Fun Site is 404.

 

This category even has a designated editor, so I'm surprised there are so many apparent problems.

Top: Regional: Asia: Thailand: Provinces: Chon Buri: Pattaya Needs Review

 

Hi,

 

Please have a look at this http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thail...n_Buri/Pattaya/

Category

 

I have found 2 sites not active.

 

1.) "Soi Vinai Place Hotel in Pattaya, Thailand. - German-led guesthouse with friendly rooms." This is a re-direct to http://www.sherlab.com/

 

2.) "Grover Style Tailors - Offers hand made clothes for men and ladies." - This site is not active anymore.

 

And out of my own curiousity. I believe that

 

1.) "Scandinavia Bar and Restaurant - Offers TV, Video, newspapers, pool tables and music." listing does not belong here and belongs to http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thail...rants_and_Bars/

or "Top: Regional: Asia: Thailand: Provinces: Chon Buri: Pattaya: Business and Economy: Restaurants and Bars " category instead.

 

2.) Shouldn't business listing like "Gover Fashion & Gems Part - Offers custom made clothing and jewellery." belongs to Business and Economy.

 

At last, I have tried adding my site to "Top: Regional: Asia: Thailand: Provinces: Chon Buri: Pattaya: Travel and Tourism"

http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thail...el_and_Tourism/

 

but it has been about 6 months now and have had no reply, I have been monitoring this Pattaya category all along and have never seen any changes at all.

 

My site Title : MyPattaya.com

Description: Provides information about Pattaya city, including photo gallery, forum and tourist guide.

URL: http://www.mypattaya.com/

 

I believe I have followed all the guideline but its just that there is no editor active at all under this category. I applied to be an editor but got rejected saying the category is too big.

 

Please help me out. I would very much appreciate your help.

 

Best regards,

 

Ervin

Done.

 

Bill, (re #1316)

 

Thank you very much for the heads-up. I found replacement URLs for some of the sites, and the rest have been removed from the listings.

 

As usual, it may take a while for these changes to be reflected on the cached public pages.

 

Your help is much appreciated!

Alucard,

 

I will do this until I am accepted as an editor, then I'll do it some more (and better, I hope, with some more guidance)

Royal Spas Of Europe http://www.royal-spas.net/englisch/ has an error from the hyperlink, however

http://www.royal-spas.net works as the intro page that gives choice of English or German

 

In http://www.dmoz.com/Recreation/Travel/Specialty_Travel/Spas/North_America/Canada/:

 

Beaux Reves Auberge and Spa - Quebec - http://www.beauxreves.com/spa.html doesn't work but http://www.beauxreves.com will.

Also in the same category:

Mountain Trek - http://winterincanada.com/ not working

 

In http://www.dmoz.com/Recreation/Travel/Specialty_Travel/Spas/Europe/

 

Please forgive me on this one if I didn't understand the language guidlelines, but I thought this one might go in a Spanish language category. I looked for an "English" button/hyperlink, but could not find on. The description is in English though?

Balneario de Lugo in Spain - http://www.lugonet.com

 

Same category:

Ragdale Hall Health Hydro - The description for this one seems a bit "promotional": Set in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside, Ragdale Hall combines state of the art facilities with the charm of traditional Victorian architecture to create one of the most luxurious and relaxing health resorts in the country.

 

I hope this is helpful and not annoying. This is one of my favorite categories to hang out in because just visiting the sites de-stresses me (though I wish it could be the spas themselves). ;)

 

Thanks
