#1945 dealt with, thanks.

 

PAC Beauty Project - The company headquarters is not actually in the city of Bologna, but in a smaller place in that province, for which there is no category as yet, so the listing is correctly placed.

 

Agriturismo Poggio Caminata works only in Internet Explorer. I have added a note to warn users.

Qual issues in /Business/Employment/Careers/

 

Wanted to see how my site stacks up against DMOZ listed sites in this category: http://dmoz.org/Business/Employment/Careers/ and found some quality issues in that category. So, FWIW:

 

Arthur's Job Base - A reviewed list of employment and job resources available on the world wide web.

Spam and Affiliate Farm

 

Careers Research Forum - Offering expertise in organisational and career development. Provides members with studies, benchmarking and workshops on HR and people management challenges.

Site Title is Corporate Research Forum, not Careers Research Forum

 

The Couch Potato's Career Guide - Short bits of career advice based on television shows, movies and pop culture. Columns are by Dave Murphy, a nationally syndicated career columnist.

No Longer Relates to Careers. Is an affiliate Marketing Site

 

International Career Development Library - A free, online collection of full text resources for counselors, educators, workforce development personnel.

Site No Longer Exists

 

iVillage Career Channel - Career site for job seekers and at all levels. Provides expert information and answers to common job search questions.

Site Title is Now Home-Office How To's ... Doesn't seem to fit category

 

Votech - Information about all stages of careers and including information about specific occupations, job opportunity, outlook, and salaries.

Votech Career Interest Chats - Scheduled chats for various career subjects. Part of the About.com network.

Both Redirect to: http://careerplanning.about.com/ .. Title is Career Planning

 

Not bad for a category with no editor in place. ;)

#1955 Nitin M - thanks for that. I agree on all points and have dealt with the listings accordingly. The changes may not appear immediately on the public side.

 

The first one should never have been listed, and seems to have slipped through in error. The others are cases of redirects/changed content since listing. For example the Careers Research Forum had that title in 2001 (see the Internet Archive). It now belongs in a different category entirely.

http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/San_Marino/Business_and_Economy/

Development Gateway - San Marino - Foundation provides a portal for resources, activity database, project information, business opportunities, recent notices and publications. [English, French, Spanish]

 

>there are already more than 100 listings in ODP, up till now, there is absolutely not a single listing in "Old Europe".

I do not see this questionable development gateway having any unique content/adding any value to the San Marino business category, there is surely no necessity to beginn listing that site in Europe, starting off with San Marino.

#1960 "questionable development gateway"

 

According to the site "The Development Gateway is an independent not-for-profit organization. It was conceived by former World Bank President James Wolfensohn and initially developed in the World Bank."

 

However I agree that the specific content for San Marino seems limited.

 

#1962 - referring to internal discussion, thanks.
