Appraisal Industry Rewrite

 * Appraisal Standards Board: This was an initial test and the beginnings of the Real Estate Appraisal Industry rewrite project. It is a mystery to me why it survives, given what happened to EA & HC.

Experiments

 * Ze plane! Ze plane!‎: This was an initial test that I split off of the Fantasy Island article to feature the plane. It was put up for deletion here.  It was reformed by others into an article about the cultural reference, but a lot about the plane still exists.  I added a photo.  Oddly, it still exists.


 * M. Graham Clark Field, Taney County Airport This was almost entirely Original Research, and a couple of paragraphs were removed, I think by somebody at the airport, but it survives without hardly any references. Go Figure.

Resumption of Appraisal Industry Rewrite
Rather than getting in a flame war over doing a major rewrite of Real Estate Appraisal and other related articles, I decided it would be better to build a library of supporting related articles first rather than produce an article with a bunch of 'red links' that had to be tended. Bad Mistake!!


 * Extraordinary assumptions Created, but I intend to destroy it. (I expect these to be deleted when discovered)
 * Hypothetical condition Created, but I intend to destroy it. These two reference back and forth and are mirror images of each other.  I combined them into one article which got blasted.  Oddly these two are still there!  Go figure.  Later #REDRICTed to Extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions.


 * Extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions Landmark article originally listed with all caps which was put up for deletion by User:Hell in a Bucket and eventually deleted. User:Hell in a Bucket or maybe User:SarekOfVulcanmoved the text to the talk page and I moved it into a Sandbox of its own. Still needs more references and a photo of airplane damage history.

Major Contributions
This part is under construction.

Branson Mayor Raeanne Presley
I took a photo of Branson Mayor Raeanne Presley one day in the hallway at Branson City Hall, and she asked why. I told her that I would put it on Wikipedia. When I looked to actually do that, there was no page about her, so I created one. ..

Police Officer/Law Enforcement Articles
A while back I had yet another opportunity to be disappointed by the performance of the local police here in Branson, and in the mix I happened across the Wikipedia article about Police Officer. I have gotten to be sensitive to these asswipes always pining about how they 'sacrifice' and 'risk their lives' for the public while using their positions to legally steal and to bully people they don't like. So when anybody starts spouting police official PR nonsense on the subject, I try my best to set the record straight with actual facts. I found this article that read like a promotional piece written by one of these off-duty asswipes, but it had two or three graphs at the end that did talk correctly about police officer line of duty deaths. I massively expanded this article. The last few paragraphs were expanded into several pages so that everything in Occupational Hazards on down is pretty much mine (except for the content in the original graphs, which survives with some semantic changes interspersed through the first half). Others have since made what amount to mostly capitalization, spelling, grammar, and semantic corrections, but the content, as of this writing, seems to remain pretty much intact. There is somebody who seems to be vandalizing it by wiping it out, but there is somebody else (not me) that is reverting those edits. Everything above this part I left alone, and my part is as accurate, balanced, descriptive, and complete as I think I could make it doing simple google searches and without doing any real library research. It is much better referenced than most Wikipedia content, and certainly better sourced than the rest of the article.

I thought about rewriting the rest of the article, but I have a life. I might do more on law enforcement later as there is very little being written about law enforcement that is not written by people in law enforcement pushing a pro-law enforcement point of view.

Why does the ASB article survive??????? WTF!
