Cannot update URL in DMOZ

[Campo]

When I try to change the URL of my website in DMOZ, it tells me that it isn't listed...but it is! I've tried changing the URL to lowercase, removing the http:// part, adding index.html, etc. Does anyone know how this is possible?

This is the link to the catagory: [dmoz.org...]
The first website on that page is mine (http://huize15.xs4all.nl/Maurizio)

If it says it can't find your site (and you typed it in correctly), it means that (a) someone else already found the new URL and corrected it or (b) it was deleted because they couldn't find the new URL. In your case, it was deleted a couple of months ago so you'll have to resubmit your new URL as a new submission.

How bizarre...the site just disappeared from the DMOZ directory! Maybe some DMOZ editor has read this post and removed it for me. Well, thanks for your reply Motsa! :)

At the bottom of that page in ODP it now says 'dinsdag 17 juni 2003' (Tuesday, June 17th, 2003), whereas the cache of Google has 'zondag 29 september 2002' (Sunday, September 29th, 2002). A few weeks ago ODP started to show a frozen version of there database (with data even a few weeks older) so they could focus on updating the hardware. That hardware update is now over, and they started updating the data shown to the public at 'dmoz.org'. So it is possible the data changed today, but that is not related to some editor seeing your question here.

Maybe, but what actually happened is something much more likely to occur. The URL was flagged as bad by dmoz's own "robozilla," and a human editor verified that the link was bad and deleted it.

And to think that some people claim that dmoz is not sufficiently aggressive about combatting link rot.
