DMOZ edited a Submission and screwed it up.

OK, I appreciate the fact that the Site was added, but they used very little text I provided and got facts wrong.

It seems the editor visited the site and read a small portion then made changes to the description. Put in another person's name that was mentioned on a page they read as the "primary" person the site related to.

What are the best recommendations to get this changed? Do I risk getting delisted?

Thanks.

Go to the category page where your page is listed, click the link at the top labelled "update listing" and follow instructions from there. Descriptions should follow the guidelines laid down at

http://dmoz.org/guidelines/describing.html

. If there are factual errors, correct them, but be polite and don't expect them to include a long description of every aspect of your site. Dmoz descriptions are intended to be thumbnail sketches of a site, not full-scale portraits.

I'm a some-time Dmoz editor, btw.

I was told you could get an existing listing updated faster if you posted to the forum.

Apparently, incorrect url's take priority (as expected), but I have a few friends who have had good results posting to the DMOZ forum ...getting updates to their listings a few days later.

Best of Luck!

Thanks for the advice Chris, I did use the "update" listing and explained what was incorrect and it has already been corrected.

ilovestickers, I will remember that bit of info also, but luckily didn't need it this time.
