no response from my candidature to become an Editor

[goldorak1975]

hello,

 

 

Several weeks passed and i still not receive any response (yes or no) from my candidature

to become an Editor

 

 

Someone can check that it's correctly under process (and well received) or if i need to redo it ?

 

my login: goldorak1975

 

thanks !

It's awaiting evaluation. However, this category has a very big pool of websites awaiting evaluation, much of it spam. For this reason, it's unsuitable for a beginner. I've disposed of it for you.

[goldorak1975]

big pool of websites ? hmmm i was thinking this was a small category ...

but it's good if their is a lot of websites awaiting for evaluation (in some way), because i m here to help no ?

 

below the categories i would like to become editor :

 

* http://www.dmoz.org/World/Français/Commerce_et_économie/Immobilier/Petites_annonces/

* http://www.dmoz.org/World/Français/Régional/Europe/France/Commerce_et_économie/Immobilier/Petites_annonces/

* http://www.dmoz.org/World/Français/Régional/Europe/France/Commerce_et_économie/Immobilier/Portails/

* http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/France/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/

 

with categories you thing i can apply ?

[jimnoble]

Of those, only World/Français/Régional/Europe/France/Commerce_et_économie/Immobilier/Portails is suitable for a new editor. Even that will be spam prone.

[pvgool]

World: Français: Commerce et économie: Immobilier: Petites annonces

you have already been told this is not a good start for a new editor

World/Français/Régional/Europe/France/Commerce_et_économie/Immobilier/Petites_annonces/

has the same problem, I would not advise a new editor to apply for this category

World/Français/Régional/Europe/France/Commerce_et_économie/Immobilier/Portails/

seems to be less of a spam magnet, but I still would clasify it as a difficult category

Regional/Europe/France/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/

easier, but limited in the numver of websites that can be listed, see its description http://www.dmoz.org/desc/Regional/Europe/France/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate

 

Real estate is one of the most difficult subjects in DMOZ as it atracts enormous amounts of spam. I would advise a different subject. Maybe your hometown.

But i work in real estate, why i will apply in something where i have no knowledge or passion

the idea is that for my job, i always need to stay informed of new real estate websites where i can advertise.

so you understand why dmoz seam the perfect tools for me, and at the same time i will share all my work ... i like it

that kind of websites often are not the ones we are looking for in real estate

[goldorak1975]

that kind of websites often are not the ones we are looking for in real estate

 

yes but i need to start somewhere actually their is only few real estate portails / websites / etc.. By few i mean only around max 100 serious websites this why i m a little "chocked" when you learn me that their is a lot of websites pending (we speak about 10 ? 100 ? 1000? 10000? of course review 10 or 100 websites is pretty fast, review 1000 or more take ... lot of time but i m sure if 1000 then it's surely 985 spam or no adequoate category website

 

i will see ... if i becone one day an editor off course

[goldorak1975]

for exemple, on http://www.dmoz.org/...ilier/Portails/

i see the link "imoogle", for me this kind of link have nothing to do in the directory, it's just a very poor and useless page to redirect to 123 immo, entreparticuler or explorimmo

but after if this is correct for the directory, then it's correct, i will aknowledge ...

[Elper]

The question is simply if imoogle is a "Portail Immobilier" - I'd say it is...

The sites in spammed areas take some time to review, and the results are usually less than satisfying, but if you are determined

[goldorak1975]

but if you are determined

hello,

 

By the way, how many time it's take to receive an answer (negative or positive )?

I m still waiting my answer for the category World/Français/Régional/Europe/France/Commerce_et_économie/Immobilier/Portails

[pvgool]

There is no specific time. We try to handle requests as soon as posisble. But we are still volunteers and sometimes we can not spend mauch time and sometimes we can spend a lot of time. It also depends on the language and type of category. Many meta editors understand English but there are languages with only a few meta's. Some subjects are easy to handle, others a difficult and not all meta's feel confortable with such subjects.

[goldorak1975]

ok i understand ! thanks ... so probably it's better to write the canditature in english ?

[pvgool]

No. An application should be written in the language of the category the person is applying for. We need to establish that the candidate-editor is able to write in that language.
