Application Information: Tips and Advice

General Information

• 你不需要担任编辑员以使你的网站被登录。请在这里观看我们的网站提交指引
• Your chances of becoming an editor are greater if you apply for a small, underdeveloped category to start (generally categories with less than 100 sites). 
• 如果你已经是一名编辑员的话，那么请不要在这里申请；请使用新编辑权限申请表格。如果你忘记了你的密码的话，那么你可以在这里申请再次向你通过电邮发给你。编辑员不能拥有超过一个编辑员帐户。拥有多于一个帐户是被除名的理由之一。
• 如果你没有在第一个月内登录，或如果你没有在连续四个月内编辑的话，你的帐户将会被暂停。如果你认为的帐户因此而被暂停的话，那么请你填写下面的表格。如果你是一名被除名或暂停的前编辑员的话，请不要填写新的申请表格。请填写本表格。

Filling Out the Application Form

• Your application should be complete.
• Your application is an indication of the kind of editor you will be. A poorly written application with spelling and grammatical errors, and/or one that only serves to hype and promote websites is unlikely to be approved.
• You'll be asked to supply 3 sample URLs on your application. The sites you suggest should be specific to the subject matter of the category for which you are applying to edit. 
• By providing a sample of 3 URLs (websites) in your application, you are showing us
• your understanding of the kinds of sites listed in the category
• your ability to pick quality websites, and
• your ability to provide good and useful descriptions.
• 阅读儿童与青少年的ODP编辑指引会给你一些关于ODP编辑员怎样选择、评核、描述和安排网站的资料。
• 在World/ 类别以外，所有的网站都必须包括英语内容，并使用英语的描述。包括非英语的内容应该被登录在正确的World/[语言]类别中，并使用相应的语言作为描述的语言。

• If you are a webmaster or associated with any website, please disclose this on your application.
• We work hard to make the ODP a fair and impartial resource for Web users. The ODP is not to be used as a way to advertise or unfairly promote websites. Editors who are primarily interested in promoting their own or clients' sites, and/or discriminating against their competitors' by manipulating site listings may have their editor accounts revoked without notice.

Application Review

• Your application will be reviewed by one or more senior ODP editors, who will evaluate it on the basis of the answers you provide. Since no two applications are the same, there is no magic formula for an acceptable application. Each application is treated uniquely. We make every effort to accept people who will add value to the directory and the community, however, we don't accept all applications. You may reapply if your application is denied.
