Whenever the public side next update takes place, no way to know when that will happen but it should be soon.

I'm going to answer even thought the question wasn't actually asked The update has been processed and the url was changed. The suggested description did not meet ODP guidelines and was not changed. The third section of the request has already been addressed here previously.

To answer your post regarding site status which was placed in a new thread (which is now locked), your site has been denied as it does not provide unique content. For information regarding this decision, please see ODP Guidelines

Your suggestion is still pending review in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Children/Parties

Sorry...but no change at this time. Your suggestion is still pending review in that category.

Your site is still waiting with around a dozen other sites.

If you see anything that looks like abuse, it is definately appropriate to report it so that it can be checked out. That is something we definately want done. I have a support group site that has been pending review in an area with no listed editor (of course no category truly is without an editor) since I submitted it in November 2002.

schluggi, flicker was speaking about a time perspective, not saying that placement in a subcat as opposed to the parent cat. ODP finds it important to place a site in the correct category. Flicker was saying that the editor of the parent category is usually the one to review the sites in the main and the subcat, so a smaller number of unreviewed in the subcat doesn't much matter if a larger number are in the parent cat...the editor may review in either place. Your submission is dated 12/Jan/2003 ODP is not Google, the ODP does not control what Google does with ODP data, and the ODP is not a web promotion service. ODP does not exist for the website, it exists for the end user and is a directory. Google also lists sites independant of the ODP. If you want to be listed in Google independant of a listing at ODP, go there and submit your site. I understand that you would like your site listed NOW, so would thousands and thousands of others. Editors are volunteer, listings are free, and submissions are actually just suggestions for sites. No listing is guaranteed. Commercial categories receive a large quantity of submissions daily and as a result often take longer to be reviewed. The time you've waited really isn't unreasonble--although I completely understand that it may feel that way. Hopefully your site will be reviewed soon, but there really is nothing to do but wait. Someone will review it as soon as they are able to.

It's been listed and will show once the public side next updates

It is listed in http://dmoz.org/Business/Electronics_and_Electrical/Control_Systems/Electrical_Panel_Builders

Sorry your other post got missed, sometimes they fall off and need a bump...but I see you through the crowd now ! Unfortunately, no change...still pending in that category, sorry I don't have better news.

There is no order that editors are required to submit in, therefore we cannot tell you who is in front of you. There are editors who work in that area of the directory as well as well as numerous others who have the ability to edit in that area. Because editors are volunteer some spend more time editing than others. The beauty category of health, and the subcategories tend to get a lot of site suggestions in addition. There is no way to say how long it will take.

Re: status : http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.c It appears you are checking on http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Vehicles/Parts_and_Accessories/Wheels_and_Tires/ Your submission from 04/Jun/2003 is still pending there. The site is listed in Regional: North America: United States: California: Localities: R: Roseville: Business and Economy: Automotive in May.

Still pending review in that category, no change as of yet.

Your submission is waiting in a medium sized queue, with a submission date of 16/Jun/2003. As you may be aware, the editor side of ODP has been down for an upgrade. I would suggest waiting 2 months and trying back after that.
