I finally got permission to approve mozzie images for ODP! This is something I’ve been offering to do for a couple of years now. I’m also probably one of the more qualified individuals to do it, as I’ve been creating mozzie images for years, too. I’d offered and offered, then finally applied for the category through the usual channels. Only one editor can approve or reject such applications, and I was rejected because they had things “under control.” There were less than 100 unreviewed at that point, and a couple of days ago I noticed there were more than 200 unreviewed. I’d been continuing to offer to help, e-mailing staff, and I’d gotten the verbal okay from the two other category editors (who don’t have authorization to grant access to the category) to join them there. I finally sent e-mail directly to the senior staff guy, carefully explaining my qualifications and interest, and he immediately replied saying he’d granted me access. Well shucks, I should have done that ages ago! I’m looking forward to working on that project.
