In: Regional > Europe > United Kingdom > England > West Yorkshire > Eccleshill > Business and Economy Hard York Quarries The quarrying operation down Fagley Lane in Eccleshill/Fagley has closed down and there are plans to build houses on the site. The link gets redirected to Berry and Marshall at Bolton Woods / Gaisby quarry (outside the Eccleshill area) which is still active. Geologically the area is known for its high quality, hard wearing pavement sandstone. I recommend you move the entry to West Yorkshire > Wrose > Business and Economy

ODP has a general policy for content that it will and won't list at http://dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html There are various types of sites allowed (sometimes only in specific areas), and the description of these is at http://dmoz.org/guidelines/site-specific.html I mention the above links to help you decide if you've spotted something which doesn't belong. --------------- Some sites (usually companies) change their content over the years and the descriptions and category locations have not kept up with the changes.

Curlie is committed to providing the best quality directory possible. Unfortunately, a small number of editors/webmasters are more committed to their self-interest than the directory. The actions of the few threaten the directory's quality and integrity, adversely affecting the user experience. If you are an editor, there is an internal form on your dashboard to report something which looks wrong. If you are NOT an editor, you can go to Public Abuse Report System and fill out the form. This system enables users of Curlie to report suspicions of abusive editors/conduct to Curlie Meta Editors and Admins. All reports will be investigated expeditiously and in complete …

Dear Dmoz editor, Dmoz.org has stopped, but the content is still online. Our site is listed but the description is outdated. GOOGLE returns this description in their search results. How can I get this changed? In the description the start day of the festival is mentioned and this information no longer applies. It's confusing for everybody. current description Internationaal zomerfestival in Purmerend, start de 4e dinsdag van de maand juni. correction: Internationaal zomerfestival in Purmerend We would much obliged, Ariane van Pelt Reuring Festival Purmerend, The Netherlands

We noticed that the search results on dmoz.org are quite large and are returning related results when DMOZ do not find the exact match listed. For example, when we are looking for <url removed per forum tos>, (pending approval) we are seeing the competitor website. Question: I wonder for later, after being analyzed and eventually accepted in the DMOZ directory, who will show up first: the site we are looking for, or its competitor. As that category do not have an editor yet, we are prepared to wait several months maybe, to know the answer.

Our link for "Math Learning Center" is seriously incorrect and is leading to misrepresentation of our business to customers and search engine results. It appears on such pages as the search results for keyword search "math learning center". Current listing: Math Learning Center - Math remediation for students in grades 1-8 conducted through the Cal Extension program. Link is correct but everything else is in need of update. Could we change this entry to: Making Math Real Institute - Provides comprehensive professional development courses for all parents, educators, and educational institutions for teaching our original and innovative simultaneous multisenso…

Task 1 I want to find plastic surgery in Estonia and preferably in English language. Step 1.1 – Dmoz homepage http://www.dmoz.org/ Dots after a word actually means there are more actions to take. If you open Firefox File menu you will see three dots after Print… for example. Suggestion: Three dots should be links separated by comma from the last word and linking to the same place as the heading. World or Regional. Which one I should choose? Takes too much time in your head to understand. Suggestion: The easiest fix would be renaming “World” to “Non-English sites” and give rest of the groups heading “English sites”. See my suggested http://www.kristj…

Hi, I am inquiring because the business I work for is listed on the site is listed twice, and both times in the wrong location. I was hoping to have that fixed. Location 1 and 2 are about halfway down the search page here (#9 and #12) Absolute Web Services. One of the posts lists us as being located in Deerfield Beach and the other Says Boca Raton. However, we are located in Miami. I appreciate any help you can offer in getting just one listing up there and having it attached to the correct location. Thank you very much! AprylV

They suggest that the editors must have integrety. We are a property website and we happen to know that a member of our competators from <Competitor's name removed for your own protection> is a editor on the section we have requested to be listed on, we have seen the people come to out site from the Dmoz editors page, and we dont get approved, We cant help but believe they are abusing their power to affect our rankings, I think its appauling!

If we navigate to category: http://www.dmoz.org/World/Hindi/%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B7%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%AF/ There under "अन्य भाषाओं में यही वर्ग" section, there is a word "अङ्ग्रेज़ी" which means English. Actually may be a translator was used in ODP project to translate that page and it made mistake. अङ्ग्रेज़ी is wrong word. It should be correctly spelled as "अंग्रेज़ी". Hope you would take require action against this error. Happy to help Web and have dream to become Editor. Thanks!

Re my” Bring out your dead link” post I think you missed my point . Why does providing valuable leads to potential problems need to be shackled with a membership requirement? One would think the more input you receive the better. Why the hurdles?

I help the HCFI Library and noticed that it is in the "Recreation: Autos: Enthusiasts: Antique: Clubs" category. The HCFI Library was a part of the Horseless Carriage Club but split off as a separate entity in 1985. How do I get the HCFI Library moved to a different category? I'm not seeing a "perfect match", perhaps Reference: Libraries: Research or a new category : Reference: Libraries: Subject Specific: Automotive. The Library's mission is: HCFI is Dedicated to making automobile research and restoration information readily available to hobbyists, restorers, and scholars world wide. Since this would be a new sub category it wouldn't have an editor. I know …
