  What's Up?

Every Dromoz user can become an editor to improve the directory. You can delete a directory record or move it to a different category/topic. The process of moving and deleting content is democratic by nature.

A user initiates the process by suggesting a directory record for deletion or movement. Other users will vote to support, or to oppose this suggestion. Depending on the voting result, the suggestion could actually take place (i.e. the record is deleted/moved), or it could be cancelled. The status of the process is indicated by a color bar, as shown below.

Moving Content

     If you feel that the current category/topic of a directory record is not the best one for it, you can move it to a more suitable category/topic. Just click on the "Move" link located at the bottom of the record, choose the new category/topic and enter your reason for moving it there.

     Your suggestion will then be voted upon by other users. If the majority agrees with you, the directory record will be automatically moved to the new category/topic. If not, your suggestion will be cancelled. During the voting process, a color bar will indicate whether your suggestion is succeeding or failing.

     Alternatively, you can also vote on other users' suggestions. Vote `Yes' to support, or `No' to oppose a movement. A list of the latest suggestions to move can be found here.


Deleting Content

     If you feel that a directory record should be deleted, just click on the "Delete" link located at the bottom of the record, and enter your reason for deleting it.

     Your suggestion will then be voted upon by other users. If the majority agrees with you, the directory record will be automatically deleted. If not, your suggestion will be cancelled. During the voting process, a color bar will indicate whether your suggestion is succeeding or failing.

     Alternatively, you can also vote on other users' suggestions. Vote `Yes' to support, or `No' to oppose a deletion. A list of the latest suggestions to delete can be found here.

     In general, you should delete a directory record that ...

  • does not contain any useful information at all.
  • contains information not related to places in Malaysia.
  • is an exact, or is mostly a repetition of another existing directory record.
  • is indecent, offensive to others, or inappropriate for the directory.
  • is frivolous, inane or vandalistic.
