Dear 康 轶文,
Thank you for your interest in becoming an Open Directory Project editor.
After careful review, we have decided not to approve your application at
this time. The most common reasons a reviewer will deny a new application
include, but are not limited to,
* Incomplete application. Insufficient information has been provided in some
fields including reason, affiliation and/or Sample URLs.
* Improper spelling and grammar.
* Sample URLs are inappropriate for the category which one has applied to
edit. They may be too broad, too narrow, completely out of scope, poor
quality, or in a language inappropriate for the category. All non-English
sites are listed in the World category. Applications for World categories
that include sites only in English will be denied. Likewise, applications
for World categories that include sample URLs in languages other than the one
appropriate for the applied category will be denied.
* Not properly disclosing affiliations with websites that are, or have the
potential of being, listed in the category.
* Titles and descriptions of sample URLs (and other information provided)
were subjective and promotional rather than unbiased and objective. ODP
editors do not rank or write website reviews. ODP editors provide objective
and unbiased descriptions of websites and their content.
* Self-Promotion. Application which leads us to believe that the candidate is
interested primarily in promoting his/her own sites or those with which the
applicant is affiliated. The ODP is not a marketing tool, and should not be
used to circumvent the site submission process. If this is an applicant's
motivation for joining, then we ask him/her not to apply. Editors found to be
inappropriately promoting their own site will be promptly removed.
Due to the large number of applications we get every day, we are unable to
provide personal responses to every application or to respond to inquiries
about why you were rejected. If a reviewer chose to provide additional
comments to you, they will be given in the "Reviewer Comments" section below.
Your willingness to volunteer is greatly appreciated and perhaps we will be
able to utilize your talent in the future.
Regards,
The Open Directory Project
Reviewer Comments:
Unfortunately we are unable to accept your application at this time. One or more of the sample URLs you provided are already listed appropriately in the branch of the directory you are applying for.
The sample sites suggested with an application are used by the reviewer to assess the potential of the applicant to make decisions about site placement in the directory. If the the sites are already listed in a branch, they shouldn't normally be listed again, and checking for this is an important task for our editors.
To check whether a site is already listed in the directory run a search on dmoz.org on the domain only. (Do not include subdomains or www.)
e.g. http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=ibm.com
We sincerely hope you will re-apply in the near future either with sites suitable for this or for another category that interests you.
To improve your chances for acceptance into the project, please suggest 2-3 (3 being preferred) URLs relevant to the category requested. The sample URLs should:
1) Be from different sites.
2) Not already be appropriately listed in the branch.
3) Follow the guidelines in http://dmoz.org/add.html .
4) Should not be your sites (a maximum of one can be).
Thank you for your interest in the Open Directory Project and we hope to see your next application soon :-)
