Hi!

In visiting:

http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Mortgages/Regional/United_States/Michigan/

I encountered the following issues:

1St Entry

Dead link

Affiliated Mortgage Corporation - Provides residential mortgage financing for St. Clair and Port Huron.​


3rd Entry

HTML page title is “Michigan Mortgage Rates”. My understanding of ODP site submission rules is that the HTML page title of the home page must be the company name. Therefore, this site never should have been added.

Atlantic Mortgage Corporation - Provides real estate loans and home financing throughout Michigan.​


10th entry

Dead link

Great American Acceptance Corp. - Provides mortgage financing for manufactured housing.​


17th Entry

Blank HTML page

Michigan Mortgage Source - Providing mortgage services for all of Michigan.​


Regards,
NCMan

Hi!

In searching DMOZ, I came across a URL "www.mobilburn.com" listed twice but in different categories.

First Category Listing:

http://dmoz.org/Home/Consumer_Information/Electronics/Communications/Mobile/

16th Entry

Mobile Burn - Reviews of third generation and GSM phones, plus news of future models, rumors and gossip.​
Second Category Listing:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Mobile_Computing/News_and_Media/

7th Entry

In addition to being listed in multiple categories, this professional site with prominent ad's from the major wireless companies claims to be a non-profit!

Mobile Burn - Non-profit web site on Mobile Devices (primarily GSM phones) and Bluetooth networking products.​


Regards,
NCMan

item3062 is done. Thanks :)
I left Western Financial - the form submission seems to have an error, but alternate contact info is available (and as far as I can tell, legitimate).

Site duplicate

http://dmoz.org/World/Français/Régional/Asie/Viêt_Nam/Voyages_et_tourisme/

Third from bottom
# Voyage Indochine - Propose des circuits à moto ou en jeep 4x4 au Vietnam, au Laos et au Cambodge, des treckings et du kayaking. Programmes détaillés, photos descriptions des itinéraires et tours proposés.

Second from bottom
# Voyage Vietnam - Propose des circuits à moto ou en jeep 4x4, des treckings et du kayaking Programmes détaillés, photos descriptions des itinéraires et tours proposés. Egalement pour le Cambodge, le Laos et la Chine.

The second from bottom redirects to the third from bottom? Is that duplicate listings? I personally don't think it's fair to have site like this listed.
