#2225.

 

Exhibit Surveys still does not works for me.

[jeanmanco]

Exhibit Surveys is working for me in the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. So it doesn't look like a browser problem. Maybe the site is blocking access from a particular IP range.

Top: Computers: Internet: Proxying and Filtering: Hosted Proxy Services: Free: CGI Pr

 

Hello,

 

I want to note a few corrections for the Category Top: Computers: Internet: Proxying and Filtering: Hosted Proxy Services: Free: CGI Proxy

under http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Proxying_and_Filtering/Hosted_Proxy_Services/Free/CGI_Proxy/

 

• Anonymous Browsing Quick-Start Page: doesn't exist anymore, redirects to w3.eftel.com
  
• @nonymouse: Correct name is "Anonymouse" and correct address is http://Anonymouse.org/
  
• Surfola: is out of order; main-page can be accessed, but news are nearly 4 years old and "click here to try as a guest" is not working.
  

Cheers,

SunnySam

 

PS.: I love DMOZ!

#2231 looked into. The two shopping listings seem acceptable under current guidelines. The business ships worldwide and so can be listed in the main Shopping tree. But it is UK-based and ships faster within the UK, so earns a Regional shopping listing.

 

The two deep links were listed by different editors, who clearly thought them a useful addition to the categories in question. Who am I to argue? I may personally feel that the Internet would be a better place if totally purged of Recreation: Humor: Bizarre: Dancing Pages, but tastes differ. These are not product deep links.

#2232 dealt with, thanks.

Hi.

 

I may personally feel that the Internet would be a better place if totally purged of Recreation: Humor: Bizarre: Dancing Pages, but tastes differ.

 

They should change the category to Recreation: Not humor: Annoying: Dancing Pages.

 

Anyway in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Somerset/Shepton_Mallet/

 

No longer there:

The Electronic Guide to Shepton Mallet - An interesting and useful selection of information for both local residents and visitors.

 

Site Suspended:

Alham Wood Cheese - Producer of buffalo milk cheese. Profile of the farm, product ordering and contact details.

 

 

Furniture Fifty9 - The company crafts a range of contemporary furniture, combining temperate and exotic hardwoods, and aluminium elements. There is also the Fifty9 limited edition range.

is a doorway page for

Honeycliff Designs - Offers custom built contemporary and Shaker influenced furniture and ceramics. Includes pictures and prices of typical items and wood finishes.

 

Nothing on page:

Shepton Veterinary Group - Offers expert consultancy on Mastitis.

 

Dead:

St Aldhelm's C.E.V.C. School - Prospectus, calendar and gallery of recent work for this primary school at Doulting.

 

URL Hijack? or holding page:

The Wedding Planner - Details of wedding co-ordination service, helping to plan and arrange the big event. Outline of services, fees and contact information.

 

Dead:

Whitstone School and Technology College - Profile of the school with curriculum information, year group details and sports fixtures.

Sorry I forgot to ask why listed under U?

Weenie Dance - A saucy dance page, watch those Weenies go.

Item #2237 has been dealt with.

 

I left the FurnitureFifty9 site listed and actually removed the HoneyCliff Designs. The link for Honeycliff designs is actually a doorway page to FurnitureFifty9 and another furniture maker site. Seemed more appropriate imo to keep the actual site page and remove the other in this case.

 

Thanks.

pngbuai.com - domain listed 43 times in PNG cat's (16 in B&E, 12 in Education and 11 in S&C) - seems a bit much if you ask me.

[shadow575]

I worked through most of Item 2240

 

The one PNG travel guide is working for me and

Gwe: Young Man of New Guinea: A Novel Against Racism seems to be more than just shopping and imo is ok in A&E.

 

I didn't have time to look at the pic catalog or pngbuai.com at the moment if no one gets to it I will try to get back to it when time permits.

The one PNG travel guide is working for me and

Gwe: Young Man of New Guinea: A Novel Against Racism seems to be more than just shopping and imo is ok in A&E.

True, there is more than the shopping, it's just that all the extra stuff is boilerplate and in the form of external links to http://www.perey-anthropology.net/ which, btw, is already listed 4 times including the root. The only thing unique on the site in question is the sale of one book, and that surely must belong in Shopping/ rather than A&E. Furthermore, http://www.aestheticrealism.org/ is another affiliated site that is linked to and listed 8 times including the root url. I'm basically saying the "Gwe" site is merely an affiliate to the others which are amply represented already. In that respect, Gwe should not even be listed at all since there is a direct link to it on the perey-anthropology.net front page.

 

There are many sites like these that are inter-related, linked to each other and listed in the diectory. The question is, to what extent should they all be listed. Travel sites that are affiliates are not allowed and when they are identified, they are usually deleted. The same criteria should be applied in this case, IMO, as the Gwe site is nothing more than an affiliate of other listed sites even though it (Gwe) has its own domain.

Thanks Jean

 

Only got as far as the S's on the second pass so may have some more for you in a few days.

 

See you took out the redirects - wasn't sure about whether they were actually valid or not!

The redirects might be fine, but I did not have time (or inclination) to review the new urls. The category has an editor, so I placed these in unreviewed for him to consider.
