#2041 dealt with, thanks.

[jeanmanco]

#2044 - As Motsa says, there is nothing wrong with these listings. You posted a similar case before, to which I replied:

 

#1994 and #1995: the UK is the exception to the rule, in that a site can be listed both and country and locality level. It could have a listing in a topical category as well, if it fits there. So three listings is OK.

[jeanmanco]

#2045 - #2047 : working on it. Could take some time. I see that Kroll is buying out Ibas, but at the moment they operate as separate companies, as far as I can see. From Kroll, one can reach a whole slew of Kroll and Ontrack websites, but not Ibas. Vogon is part of Ibas, as you say.

 

[Added]

#2045 dealt with, thanks. vogon.hr seems to be a Croatian web design company - no connection that I can see.

#2045 dealt with, thanks. Assistimo is not related either.

#2047 dealt with, thanks. ibas-uk.com and ibas-arbeitssicherheit.de are not related either.

 

Listings for each language version are in accordance with our guidelines. So only where there were two different domains for Ibas for the same language have I changed those listings.

Item 2053 and Item 2054 have been dealt with.

If I fix a spelling error or add a listing or delete a listing or remove a word (or any other action that only touches one listing and changes the date on the bottom), I typically won't go through all the other listings in a category. It really doesn't matter if there are two listings or two hundred listings.

feel free to do so, I dared to mention that there might exist some editor showing a greater sense of responsibility.

 

As you are aware, editors are free to edit where they want (which categories interest them), so it is quite possible that someone with higher permissions found a site that was miss-suggested or even discovered one on their own that belonged to that category.

 

Meta's, editalls, and top level category editors could title, describe and list a good site without having ever visited the category itself. If I found a good site today that would fit in a Nuuk, Greenland I am free to title, describe and list it from my dashboard (see http://dmoz.org/erz/features/dashboard/index.html in the help section for information on editors dashboards) and never look at the listed sites or category in question. So having a "greater sense of responsibility" really can't apply here.

 

Many times in response to your posts in this thread I have done many such edits. In each of those cases there might be sites needing work in the target categories but since my only interst at that time was taking care of the known issue-I had no interest in looking. In some cases, when one problem is pointed out I notice others and that leads to an interest in cleaning an entire category but neither imo means showing more responsibility.

 

I am one who truly appreciates your help in locating problem urls (especially in Regional where I am most active), but there really isn't a need to inject personal digs at unknown editors for their actions or opinions on their lack of action. There is nothing productive obtained from it.

 

Just my

[matri]

Appreciate your elaborated post, hope you are willing to accept, that in some cases people who are not editors are getting mixed impressions from actions taken or not.

#2067 [correction - #2066] - good idea. Done. It already had a listing in http://dmoz.org/World/Deutsch/Kultur/Museen/Geschichte/Vor-_und_Fr%c3%bchgeschichte/

but another listing in World: Deutsch: Regional is absolutely OK.

 

[Added]

I should explain that where a site that has no English version is removed from the English-language directory, the normal procedure is to send the site to be reviewed in the appropriate category in World (unless it is already listed there).

 

A bi-lingual or multi-lingual editor with access to both categories might write a new description in the appropriate language and list it immediately in World. But that's quite unusual. In this case I didn't send the site over initially, because it was already listed in World, but you are perfectly correct that two listings are appropriate here.

 

Normally I do not attempt to write descriptions in German, which I have never learned and find difficult. But just this once I used the meta description, as it looked straightforward and factual.
