I submitted a review yesterday but it is not shown yet, why?

All reviews are being manually approved by the Editorial Team, but sometimes team members require a second opinion from another editor to make sure a review is acceptable. In some cases reviews can take up to 21 days to be processed.

How can I change or delete a review that I submitted earlier?

Please use the 'Report this Review' button next to the review that you'd like to edit/delete. By using the 'Report this Review', JED team members will be able to see that the request was made by the same user who originally created the review. Once the first review is removed you can resubmit a new review. We cannot alter the review or rating for you; we are only able to remove it for you.

Categorization

Can I suggest some changes to categorization?

Categories in the JED are continually evolving as new types of extensions are created. The JED Team strives to provide a categorization system to fit every extension listed in JED. If you feel that an extension deserved to be in an existing category or that a new category should be created, click on the 'Report!' button for the listing and let us know what you're thinking. For new category, please use the 'Report This' button and let us know about your suggestion. You can also post your feedback to our forum.
