I have since added more unique content that no other site in this area provides. It is a good idea to resubmit, or wait further still until I add yet more content.
cheers
If it was deleted because it is a mirror of another site of yours which is already listed, then you'd be better off simply linking your various mirrors/portals/etc. together very well so that visitors to one can reach the content on all the others.

You find the ear of a freindly dmoz editor who can take a peek for you. :)
Or you have a look fo something called resource zone where questions of that nature can be asked. Read the rules of that forum and you may get some information.

If your site has truly changed, do resubmit it. For example, if you submitted it last year before you finished building it, it may have been rejected because most of the hyperlinks on the index page were "under construction." Or if you have changed the site focus substantially (for example, your business used to sell seashells and candles, but now you have dumped the candles and started selling jewelry in addition to the seashells), do resubmit it.
However, let me take this opportunity to comment on a related topic:
If you have a site listed in dmoz, please don't submit an update request every time you change the site's meta tags or color scheme, or when you add a new phone number to the page. That sort of thing is totally irrelevant to the dmoz directory, and it's a waste of volunteer editors' time to sort through update requests from webmasters who added new keywords to their meta tags. Sending an update to dmoz won't get the search engine robots to index your site any faster -- and dmoz site descriptions don't mention trivial stuff like your phone number, meta tag content, or color scheme (unless perhaps it's especially garish, and the site is listed in the Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Worst_of_the_Web/ category ;) ).
1. To change the description you to one you like better - but is just adding hype or CaPiTals e.e. I put in a description like: Provides comedy entertainment for business events. and I get a user requested update: The funniest Award Winning comedian in The North West. Business events and other stuff. You can't lose hiring me, cause I'm the greatest.
2. Don't ask for a description update with information that isn't on the site. Seems like users suddenly decide when writing the description that they provide services they forgot to put on the web site.
3. Don't ask for words to be added to the description that are already in the site title or the category.
I did this a couple of years ago and the site was removed, resubmitted 2 - 3 times but to no avail, 16 months passed before I saw that an editor had visited and finally got back in again by contacting the editor with a nice e-mail saying you had visited on such a date and viewed x amount of pages and was wondering when you could find the time to put my site in your directory, 24 hours later I was back in.
This was at a time when google gave a better ranking for sites which were listed in dmoz so I had to get back in, the site description was the worst you could ever wish to see but I am in so you leave it well alone.
Best advice from my bad experience is never ever resubmit your site using the submission form always go for a site update by using the link at the top of the page in your chosen category.
