Article Evaluations
Discounted Cash Flow

This is not the first time I've heard about discounted cash flow but it is, however, the first time I am actually reading an article explaining it. Though I do not understand it completely, it does seem to make sense intuitively. The example helped a bit but a big part of my misunderstanding is that I am unfamiliar with many of the terms used in the article. Kukismss (talk) 14:53, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

William Milnor Roberts

Sadly, I admit that I am not familiar with the history of my discipline. Thus, this is the first time I am learning anything about Mr. Roberts. This article did not do mu h to fix that problem however. The information was insufficient and the cited sources were not of much help either. Kukismss (talk) 15:25, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

John Charles Lounsbury Fish

The article on Mr. Fish is not biased in any way. However, it does seem short-lived and could use some additions. For example, a part of the article mentions that he authored a book on surveying but nothing further is discussed about it. Kukismss (talk) 19:49, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Eugene L. Grant

The information on Eugene Grant was quite substantial. The information is relevant and up to date. Being such a significant figure, this article is a part of the Wikipedia biographies project. Kukismss (talk) 19:49, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Arthur M. Wellington

Much like the John Fish article, the information on Arthur Wellington is not much at all. However, the citation and reference links work. More information on his engineering economics works could have been presented. Kukismss (talk) 19:49, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Geer-Melkus Construction Editing Draft
Geer-Melkus Constr. Co. v. United States, 302 F.2d 181 (8th Cir. 1962)

This case was brought to the court by Bison Construction Co. against Geer-Melkus Construction in order to receive payment for a contract. Bison Construction claimed that Geer-Melkus had withheld a payment totalling $16,196.19. Geer-Melkus admitted to withholding said payments but said it was on account of damages incurred by water escaping through a break in the water line which Bison was contracted to construct. The end result was a judgement against Geer-Melkus and they were impelled to pay Bison Construction the outstanding total.
