xx xx Hello:

Thank you for your ambition to be an editor of an Open Directory project.

After careful consideration, we have not been able to approve your application. Generally, the reasons for an auditor rejecting an editor's application include, but are not limited to, the following:

* The application form has not been completed. Some sections of the information is not complete, such as the application reasons, your associated Web site, Web site samples.

* Improper use of words, grammar or punctuation.

* The sample URL provided is not suitable for inclusion in the requested category. They may be too wide, too narrow or totally inconsistent, quality is too poor, or their language does not meet the requirements of the category. If you apply for World:chinese simplified the following categories, but the URL provided by the sample contains only non-115.html "> Simplified Chinese content of the site, your application will be rebuffed." Similarly, if you apply for an English class or other language class below the world, and any sample URL provided does not conform to the language requirements of the class, your application will be rejected.

* Failure to disclose all of your associated websites in an honest and complete manner.

* The title or description of the site sample (or other information provided) tends to be subjective and promotional in nature rather than objective and impartial. The role of an Open Directory editor is not to rank websites or to write site reviews. The editor describes the site and its content, and must be objective and impartial.

* Self promotion. If the application content allows us to believe that the applicant's main purpose is to promote his own or related to the website, the application will be rebuffed. The Open Directory is not a marketing tool; the public should not be the editor to bypass the formal website submission process. If this is the purpose of the applicant, we will advise him not to submit the application. Any editors who are found to have improperly promoted their affiliate sites will be dismissed immediately.

Since we have received a large number of applications every day, we have not been able to give individual answers to each application or explain the reasons for the refusal. If the auditor chooses to give you additional advice, these comments will be listed in the "Auditor's opinion" section below.

Thank you again for your ambition to join us in our obligation to work.

Open Directory Project.

Auditor Opinion:

Hello Wenxuejie,

First of all, thank you for applying for the world/chinese_simplified/Art/Literature/web works catalogue, and for your interest as a ODP volunteer editor. Although we would like you to join us, we regret to inform you that we are currently unable to pass your application.

You may have chosen a directory that already has enough editors or categories or you have given a description of the site that does not meet the directory requirements. In general, for new editors, choosing a smaller directory allows them to better understand the catalog, including how to find and list the right editing site, giving the site proper description and punctuation. When they have some experience with smaller directory editors, they can request a larger catalog for editing.

When we review the application, we will be the applicant will have the ability to start formal editing, so the submission of High-quality sample station to give its appropriate station description of the title is very important, which shows the applicant's understanding of the editorial station. For site submission and description requirements, you can refer to our editorial guide: http://dmoz.org/World/Chinese_Simplified/guidelines/.

We encourage you to read our editorial guide carefully, re-apply for editing a category with fewer editors or a smaller category; Submit samples that have not been dmoz.org, choose to submit them to a most appropriate directory, provide serious and objective station headings and descriptions, etc. to increase your chances of being approved.

Please also honestly disclose all sites related to you in the application form.

Thank you again for your interest in ODP!
