silkscreenbiz Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I'm checking on the status of http://www.buttonbiz.com It was submitted to http://dmoz.org/Business/Marketing_and_Advertising/Advertising/Promotional_Items/Logo_Items/Buttons_and_Badges/ Also, I tried sending a message to the editor of the category about one of the listings in the category and it said there was no such editor. The editor's screen name is "rmeasterly." Thanks
brmehlman Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Normally we ask that you wait a month after suggesting a site before inquiring about its status, unless of course you had some error or other trouble with the form. But since I looked anyway, I see no harm in letting you know that your suggestion was received and awaits review. There is no editor currently named to that category, the information at the bottom of the public page is out of date. But don't let that worry you, there are hundreds of us who can edit there, some of whom do.
silkscreenbiz Posted September 7, 2003 Author Posted September 7, 2003 It has been a month since my submission to dmoz. Could someone check on the status of my site. Thanks, Ryan
pnm Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 Come back in a couple days -- we ask that you wait a month or more between status requests.

silkscreenbiz Posted December 5, 2004 Author Posted December 5, 2004 Anything to report? Thanks for your time, Ryan
bobrat Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 It won't be listed, since your other site is already listed. It should not have been submitted - we don't list multiple URL's for the same company.
silkscreenbiz Posted December 5, 2004 Author Posted December 5, 2004 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. On my website, it says Silk Screen Biz is the parent company of Button Biz. Are you saying that because I say that Button Biz is a Silk Screen Biz company that means I can't get listed? Am I understanding this correctly? If that is the case than you can make the case that PayPal should not be listed because it is an Ebay company. It even says it on the website. Hopefully you can clarify this, Ryan
bobrat Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Yes I'm telling you your site will not be listed. PayPal - although now a division of eBay, was a separate company, and remains significant enough in it's own right that it will continue to be listed. That's an editorial decision.
silkscreenbiz Posted December 5, 2004 Author Posted December 5, 2004 I don't mean to be a pain but I went and looked at the guidelines for submission at http://dmoz.org/add.html and it didn't mention the policy anywhere. It seems I'm getting excluded from the database for a rule/guideline that does not exist. You didn't say my website isn't qualified to be in the category; you are saying I'm violating a rule which I don't see anywhere. The two sites are in no way similar. They are two separate website and both websites have unique content. They are not cookie-cutter sites. If you want to get technical about business "ownership," then Button Biz actually isn't a division of Silk Screen Biz. The US Government views me as a sole-proprietorship. My name and social security number identify the ownership of the business. It is not possible to have divisions of businesses as a sole proprietorship. If I take the label off of my site that I'm affiliated with Silk Screen Biz, will that qualify me for submission. No where on the policy does it say that a sole proprietor is entitled to only one "submission" into the directory. I'm sure there are hundreds of sole-proprietors out there that have many inclusions in the database even though the websites are "technically" owned by the same person/entity. Hope to hear from you, Ryan
