In May 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice reached an $89 million settlement with the CIT involving a portfolio of reverse mortgage products acquired from the failed IndyMac Federal Bank and compliance with HUD foreclosure requirements, which requires banks to complete resolution and foreclosure activities within an aggressive timeline.

He is also a graduate of the School of Credit and Financial Management, a four-week program offered by the National Association of Credit Management, which was held at Dartmouth College at the time he attended in 1992.

He is also a graduate of the School of Credit and Financial Management, a three-year program offered by the National Association of Credit Management, which was held at Dartmouth College at the time he attended in 1992.

Explanation of issue: The edit corrects an error in fact repeated from the 2017 news article. The mentioned program in 1992 was three-year program, not a four-week program. In addition to the classroom time, the program included longer-term projects and assignments. Event today the program is a two-year program with four-weeks of in-class instruction. Program materials from 1992 are not online but available from National Association of Credit Management. This edit is supported by the 1991-1992 program brochure, pages 1 and 3. Happy to provide a copy.

Some proposed changes
Information to be added or removed: Please add the following to the bottom of the Personal life section as a new paragraph--

Explanation of issue: The addition clarifies detail of public persona's interests and is well-documented from public record including referenced in the cited article from May 2018.

In May 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice reached an $89 million settlement with CIT Bank involving its reverse mortgage portfolio, acquired via the failed IndyMac Federal Savings Association, for compliance with HUD foreclosure requirements, which require banks to complete resolution and foreclosure activities within an aggressive timeline.

Information to be added or removed: Revise "He is also a graduate of the School of Credit and Financial Management, a four-week program offered by the National Association of Credit Management, which was held at Dartmouth College at the time he attended in 1992."

to

He is also a graduate of the School of Credit and Financial Management, a three-year program offered by the National Association of Credit Management, which was held at Dartmouth College at the time he completed the program in 1992.

I verified directly with the National Association of Credit Management that in 1992, this program was three-years long. That changed in 1994. I can provide documentation from the Association but details of the program 27 years ago are not on line.

Explanation of issue: This edit corrects an error in fact added by a previous contributor. References supporting change: I have original course materials documenting the length of the program and can provide. They are not online.

 * Your edit request could not be reviewed because the provided references are not formatted correctly. The citation style predominantly used by the Joseph Otting article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.) In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:

Bare URL reference formatting: The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles.

The Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.

The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Joseph Otting article. Using CS1, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting: Which displays as: The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles.[1]
 * The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles.
 * The Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.
 * The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.

The Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2]

The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.[3]

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards, Spintendo  21:30, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
