2 links in one category needs checking? but update 1 description

 

Top: Arts: Performing Arts: Dance: Folk Dancing: Basque

 

Cyber Dantza is the Centre of Basque Studies of the University of Reno which on its front page points to the the Centre of Basque Studies of the University of Reno educational internet publication for Basque-American Dancers. Dantzaldizkaria

Monthly featured articles, readers' questions, dance news and resources.

2 links in 1 category - could be possible in this case?

 

at least state that the publication was last updated in March 2002

 

rest of cat ok

[Eric-the-Bun]

1 url moved

 

Top: Arts: Performing Arts: Dance: Folk Dancing: Bavarian

 

Alpentänzer Schuhplattler

 

site moved from http://www.petitchalet.com/danchome.htm

to http://www.alpentanzer.org/

 

rest in cat seems ok

[Eric-the-Bun]

Very Naughty second link to same website in same category

 

Top: Society: Ethnicity: Greek: Greek American: Arts: Dance

 

Traditional Dance in Greek Culture - Book review of Traditional Culture in Greek Culture, Yvonne Hunt [ http:// www. filetron .com /grkmanual/ huntbook.html]

 

Greek Folk Dance Resource Manual - 9th edition online. Download manual, and download catalog. Free videos for non-profit organizations. Articles, book reviews. Links to various Greek American dance troupes and music groups.

[http:// www. filetron .com /grkmanual/] - three-quarters down the front page under Other Resource Material is a link to Traditional Dance in Greek Culture by Yvonne Hunt

[http:// www. filetron .com /grkmanual/ huntbook.html]

 

Hence as the Yvonne Hunt entry is merely a page of the resource entry and on its front page, it does not need its own entry

 

AND in

 

Top: Regional: Europe: Greece: Arts and Entertainment: Dance

 

we have:

Greek Folk Dance Resource Manual - Resource page on the history of Greek dancing -- http://www. filetron. com /grkmanual/

 

Previous descrip[tion of the site is correct, this one is not

 

If I've got it right, Regional should be 'bricks and mortar' and the author is selling videos based in Granada Hills, CA. It has an entry as a Greek dance resource under a Dance topic and should not have an entry under Regional: Greece - Dora Stratoiu appears in both because Regional is its Bricks and Mortar Address

 

======================

 

Anyway the rest of the cat, the Performing_Arts/Dance/Folk_Dancing/Greek cat, Performing_Arts/Dance/Folk_Dancing/colonial cat are ok.

I Festival - 2 entries in wrong places with redirect to 3rd url

 

Society: Ethnicity: Greek: Greek American: Arts: Dance

Greek Orthodox Folk Dance Festival

- Announcements of, and reports from, the dance festivals of the San Francisco Diocese of the Greek Orthodox Church of America. News, events schedules, photo gallery, videos, dance scholarships

 

Top: Regional: Europe: Greece: Arts and Entertainment: Dance

 

Greek Folk Dance Festival - Annual dance competition; includes greek dancing, singing, and traditional costumes

 

This is a San Francisco based organisation ministering to America.

 

The page is the same as Greek Orthodox Folk Dance Festival (the two exist in different folders fdf and FDF on the same domain) but quickly redirects to http://www.gofdf.org/ The Greek Orthodox Choral and Folk Dance Festival (San Francisco).

 

I believe that the confusion is caused possibly by the Site moving from greece.org (with upper and lower case versions) to the new site, however I got confused.

 

May I suggest it is moved from regional:greece to regional San Francisco for review with a note listing the 3 urls to be sorted out?

 

When sorted the entry should be moved from Top: Society: Ethnicity: Greek: Greek American: Arts: Dance to the sub category Festivals.?

 

===================================================

 

A bit puzzled - I was in Top: Arts: Performing Arts: Dance: Folk Dancing: Greek (3) and selected United States@ anbd ended up in Society: Ethnicity: Greek: Greek American: Arts: Dance

[Eric-the-Bun]

site in wrong category

 

Top: Arts: Performing Arts: Dance: Folk Dancing: Native American

 

Big Sur Natives - Dance and percussion group located in Big Sur California

 

This is not Native_American folk dance as in Indiginous natives performing traditional dance but a New Age 'Tribe' (ie a group of new age people who refer to themselves as a tribe).

 

Note that the less-revealing costumes are more like Egyptian belly-dancers and the more revealing lead me to whole-heartly support such artistic endeavours :o .... but unfortunately not in this section please.

 

All the other sites in this category are full of Native Indians dancing in the expected costumes. Hoop Dancing sub cat also ok

#1474 is done. Thanks

1 url change, 2 dead links

 

Top: Arts: Performing Arts: Dance: Folk Dancing: Hula

 

Hiva Nui - Polynesian dance troupe in Stockton, California

 

has a single page stating they have moved to http://www.hivanuiproductions.com/ which looks ok

 

Hula Halau Na Mahina Kikaha - Hula dance group in Chicago, IL has a single page saying they have moved which ends up with a search machine - dead/temporary dead link?

 

Kawewehi's Hula Studio - Rochester, NH. Lessons in the art of hula for all ages

 

Are no more, the link leads to a notice saying they have been taken down

 

Otherwise the rest of the cat is fine

This is the wrong forum for this question. Please use the Becoming an Editor forum.

 

(I would say it's within the limits, if you can provide 3 good sites not your own, but it's not my decision.)

Hi and thankyou Arubin

 

Sorry for the incorrect, post.

 

Please do remove the site mentioned in my previous post, obviously this domain is for sale. And has no quality content .

Wrong category - OK to report here?

 

In category http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Judaism/Family/

 

I found this site listed: http://www.judaism-101.org/

 

The site is a 1-page invitation to click through to http://www.god-101.org/ which is already listed in http://dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity/Evangelism/Resources/Books_Online/

 

If you want to keep the judaism-101 site in the directory, I suggest it be moved to one of the Christianity categories, or maybe to the "opposing views" category. It is out of place where it is.

 

Just for fun I also checked the same guy's http://www.islam-101.org/ (pretty much the same deal as judaism-101, just a 1-page sales pitch for god-101.). It is listed in http://dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Opposing_Views/Islam/Christian_Views/ which is at least an appropriate category, but hey, how did this guy manage to get 3 sites listed that all point to the same place?

 

I have nothing personal at stake here, I was just looking for bar mitzvah planning information and got sidetracked.

Re item1496. It would be helpful if you gave the category link and titles we gave the sites.

Dead Link an Non-Appropriate Content

 

Hi,

 

In the category:

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Entertainment/Party_Supplies/

 

1.)BBL - http://www.bblnet.co.uk/

This site is no longer active

 

2.)Panache - http://www.spgsite.com/.

This site does not offer party supplies, nor does it offer any party related information.

 

Also, there are several sites involved in affiliation schemes and I was wondering what was the proper thread to report those links?

[djdeeds]

Post #1499 done - thanks.

 

If they are affiliates, which are they please. If they are offering affiliate programs, that is part of their service; probably relevant to the category unless not party-related.
