Journalist notes[edit]

I e-mailed the raw data on my excel file that I processed to scoop. It is based on this data. There are a lot of comments inline to explain sourcing for supplemental facts and list which source was used. --LauraHale (talk) 18:09, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added the mortgage types later. Rather than add the excel data and re-e-mail, pasting table below.

Partial review[edit]

In verifying specific facts, I've been through to the end of the paragraph on zip codes (by my count, that's the first seven out of thirteen paragraphs). It's 1:30am here and i'm going to bed, so I'm taking the article out of review. --Pi zero (talk) 05:35, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of revision 2022118 [Passed][edit]

Revision 2022118 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 22:35, 3 October 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Comments by reviewer:

  • Zip codes do not usually designate an entire city, but rather a region within a city. That occasioned a number of edits.
  • The non-computing-spreadsheet documentation shortfall noted for the Sallie Mae article was partially alleviated.
  • See the edit history, of course (there was a lot going on, here).
  • The headline would probably have benefitted from a date worked in somehow, if done before publication; but I wasn't inspired.

The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.

The last sentence in paragraph 10 should include the number of total complaints received by each lender and the number of those complaints that were foreclosures so as to not misrepresent that large institutions are grouped with small institutions when it comes to complaints. The sentence should read:

"Foreclosure was the top area of complaints for a number of other lending institutions including 1st Alliance Lending, LLC (4/6 Complaints), OneWest Bank (628/927), Ally Bank (5/10), Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (22/55), Bank of the West (14/35), BMO Harris (63/145), BOK Financial Corp (15/43),Caliber Home Loans, Inc, (131/248), Capital One (173/418), Deutsche Bank (5/9) and EverBank (233/411)."
