[edit] Notability of Dr. John A. Kilpatrick

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Dr. John A. Kilpatrick, by WWGB, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Dr. John A. Kilpatrick seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Dr. John A. Kilpatrick, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Dr. John A. Kilpatrick itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 15:03, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] National Association of Homebuilders

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article National Association of Homebuilders, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Fabrictramp 20:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Value-in-use

A tag has been placed on Value-in-use, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Razorflame (talk) 00:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Value-in-use and Investment Value

Hi. Could you kindly explain the changes you made to the above definitions? AFIK, Value-in-Use and Investment Value are both usually above Market Value: They are a subjective measure that arises from a specific user's ability to reap special benefits from the property, eg combining the subject property with another property, proximity to transportation or resources for some specialized producer and the like. Another example: the Value-in-Use for Hilton of one of the hotels in its chain, which would be greater than the value of the hotel as a stand-alone operation. The difference between the two definitions is as follows: Value-in-Use pertains to the current occupier, whilst Investment Value to a prospective developer. Tkeu (talk) 08:46, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Let me add: Value in use is defined in IVS 2 - Valuation Bases Other than Market Value as follows: "The value a specific property has for a specific use to a specific user and therefore non-market related". IFRS defines it thus: "The present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life."
IVS 2 defines Investment Value thus: "The value of a property to a particular investor, or a class of investors, for identified investment objectives." It goes on to add: "The investment value or worth of a property asset may be higher or lower than the Market Value of an investment property...Investment Value or worth is associated with Special Value".
I think we should revert to the previous definitions, since they more clearly allow for both possibilities: above or below Market Value. Admittedly, their is an element of hair-splitting here, I'm not sure there is general consensus or understanding of these definitions, which lends further support to allowing more freely for all possibilities. But, I'm willing to be convinced and illuminated, if you have any special experience in this area. Tkeu (talk) 09:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Surveyor, help me out with the Real Estate Appraisal article

I saw in the talk page that you mentioned editing it. I've started slowly, and could use the help. I will hopefully see you in the talk page.

[edit] Contemplating a rewrite of USPAP article

Hello Thesurveyor

I am an appraiser in the USA. I would like to try rewriting some of the appraisal articles. I have just started learning how to edit in Wikipedia, and I have a lot to learn before doing anything substantial.

I thought I might start with the article on USPAP and possibly on The Appraisal Foundation. The work I would like to do on this article will be a major rewrite starting with your article as a framework, but I am too new at this to be really confident in what I am doing. After I work on it a while, I would like to get your input and collaboration since the USPAP article appears to be your creation. I do not want to simply enter a major redo, have it undone by somebody, undo the undo, and start a big flame war.

Please let me know your thoughts on a potential rewrite on my talk page. Thank you KTrimble (talk) 01:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] weak form of EMH

Hello - I got into a dispute on the Technical analysis page (see talk page). A contributor is arguing that technical analysis is consistent with the weak form of EMH. But I thought the weak form proposes that there is no information in historical prices. Further, he cites Lo and Mckinley as establishing that the weak form is consistent with non-random behaviour. Surely not. Did they claim this? ItosLemma (talk) 18:23, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
