In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Singapore/Business_and_Economy/Restaurants_and_Bars/Restaurants/, a few problems.

 

1. Cheng Heng Eating House - goes to Network Solutions.

 

2. Venus Banana Leaf Restaurant - also goes to NS.

 

3. Pizze Hut - lousy description.

 

4. The Rice Table Indonesian Restaurant - gone on vacation.

 

5. Sedap Sandwich - title should be "Sedap Sandwich Cafe"

 

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Singapore/Business_and_Economy/Restaurants_and_Bars/Restaurants/Hawker_Fair/

 

1. Dragon City - title should be Dragon City Restaurant Group, and this doesn't look like Hawker Fair to me.

 

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Singapore/Business_and_Economy/Restaurants_and_Bars/Restaurants/Chinese/,

 

1. Dragon Phoenix Restaurant Pte Ltd - Network Solutions.

 

2. Kia Hiang Restaurant - under development.

 

3. Tung Lok Group - who says it's "superior"? - the website?

 

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Singapore/Business_and_Economy/Restaurants_and_Bars/Restaurants/Chinese/Cantonese/

 

1. The first and third listings are mirrors, and do they really offer "irresistible wedding banquet packages"? Who listed this stuff anyway?

Title: Best Hotels in Greece Blog

URL: http://www.besthotelsgreece.blogspot.com/

Category: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Greece/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Lodging_Guides/

Description: A personal blog to gather useful information regarding hotels in Greece; includes owner profile and user contributions.

 

This "blog" contains only 9 posts while 8 of them are for Crete. I didn't find any useful content and it surely isn't a lodging directory or guide for Greece. Can you find any real "owner profile", "user contributions" or "useful information" as its description says?

Item 1428 done, thanks.

 

Hawker fair no longer exists - I couldn't identify it as a food type. (It was hanging on from 1999, before the Regional/Topical/Regional exclusion existed)

Thanks gimmster, and while in the S'pore cat's, I'll mention just a few other issues you may want to deal with.

 

In the cat. http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Singapore/Arts_and_Entertainment/Museums/,

 

What I'm finding here is that Asian Civilisations Museum and Singapore Art Museum (a bad link, btw) are really both subsites of the National Heritage Board (also listed). It's just that the first 2 are from museum.org, the root url of which goes to http://www.museum.org.sg/MCC and is a mirror of http://www.nhb.gov.sg/MCC where the listed NHB url ends up. I think it would make more sense to list only the NHB site, unless you really want to list the others and then make them deeplinks of the NHB site rather than deeplinks of museum.org. It appears to me they are gradually consolidating all of their museums under one umbrella site, and that would be the currently listed NHB site.

 

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Singapore/Arts_and_Entertainment/Theatre/,

 

1. Native's Art Society - has a new url at http://nativesart.org/

 

2. Singapore Theatre - is not found.

 

3. Stage Pals - am getting no content here.

 

 

In http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Singapore/Arts_and_Entertainment/Photography/,

 

1. Aerial Photographer - I think title should be "L'Image Cinematography".

 

2. Performing Arts Photography - title should be "The Pond Photography"?

 

3. Photographersg Network - should be "Photographers' Network" (spelling). Also the word "photography" appears 3 times in the description...

Think I first posted this in the wrong area:

 

The category is http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Uniforms/Medical/

 

1/ Two listings for "Green Scrubs". They go to two different URL's, but the same exact site.

2/ "Scrubs Unlimited" is part of Greenscrubs.com and scrubs.com, just go to either of those URL's and click on the links graphic.

3/ Professional Uniforms title should be Lydia's Uniforms.

 

Hope this helps!...I also applied to be the editor of this category
