Talk:Air Park-Dallas Airport

Litigation?

I removed the following from the article:

Air Park-Dallas has been the subject of much litigation. See In re Crow-Billingsley Air Park, Ltd., 98 S.W.3d 178 (Tex. 2003); Noell v. Air Park Homeowners Assoc., Inc., 246 S.W.3d 827 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2008, pet. denied); Noell v. Crow-Billingsley Air Park, Ltd., 233 S.W.3d 408 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2007, pet. denied); Air Park-Dallas Zoning Committee v. Crow-Billingsley Air Park, Ltd., 109 S.W.3d 900 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2003, no pet.); Harrison v. Air Park Estates Zoning Committee, 533 S.W.2d 108 (Tex. Civ. App. - Dallas 1976, no writ).

A bunch of legal citations with no context doesn't seem encyclopedic, and I'm sure there are similar lists of lawsuits against other homeowners' associations in the northern Dallas suburbs. I'd like to know the story behind the lawsuits, but the information above doesn't tell me much. --Robertb-dc (talk) 18:55, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm dismayed that the non-encyclopedic list of legal citations has been reinserted into this article by an anonymous user for at least the third time, along with the inexplicable deletion of some properly sourced content. I have no desire to see an edit war or a revert war erupt over this issue, but I will continue to revert the page every time this list is reinserted without context or any explanations. I would like to respectfully ask user:66.150.209.5 to please carefully review Wikipedia's content guidelines before making any more edits to this page. Carguychris (talk) 17:44, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Article rewrite

I've rewritten almost the entire article to address several substantial problems with the revisions recently done by anonymous users user:108.126.167.121 and user:108.105.74.211. These problems include:

• The non-encyclopedic list of legal citations removed by Robertb-dc had been inexplicably reinserted, again without context.
• Several accidents and incidents in the article had been removed from the article without explanation. I have reinserted them in a format consistent with other Wikipedia airport articles.
• Several sections in the rewritten article were not verifiable, such as the descriptions of the well-water dispute, the post-annexation actions by the City of Carrollton, and the 2010 legal judgment.
• The legal cases and city ordinances are primary sources that should only be used as a source of facts rather than a source for improper interpretive claims by the editor, such as the claim that the City of Carrollton's annexation ordinance was "...carefully crafted such that the [city] could enact ordinances to regulate the airpark's operations, while carving the residential areas at the field... thus avoiding any obligation to provide basic city services...", and the claim that the city's actions were prompted by "...Billingsley's political pull".
• A neutral point of view was not maintained; more specifically, an impartial tone was not used. For instance, some of the City of Carrollton's recently-enacted requirements were characterized as "onerous" or "ridiculous". If these claims were published in a reliable source, they can be included, but it is implied that these are the editor's own views.
• The newly-added "Timeline" section of the article appears to have been openly plagiarized from a November 5, 2007 article in The Dallas Morning News.

The new sections of the article were all very interesting but were clearly not encyclopedic. They seemed to be personal political ax-grinding, so I removed them.Carguychris (talk) 22:11, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Much to my dismay, this article has recently been extensively changed in a non-encyclopedic manner, again!

• Please add inline citations to the new information. Simply stating that the changes are based on "legal documents and official reports" is NOT adequate; citations are needed so an uninformed third party can verify the facts.
• Please, please, please try to maintain a neutral point of view! See above.
• The "Accidents & Incidents" section was removed from the article with no explanation whatsoever. This section is not intended as some sort of commentary to prove that the airfield is unsafe; it is an informational section typically included in other airport articles, for instance, Dallas_Love_Field#Accidents_and_incidents.

In good faith, I've left heavily edited versions of some unsourced statements in the article; PLEASE add inline citations and review Wikipedia's content guidelines before making more changes. Carguychris (talk) 22:12, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Prestonwood Country Club

When you click on "Prestonwood Country Club," it does take you to a Wikipedia entry, yes, but for a club in the Carolinas!75.16.185.61 (talk) 23:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Good catch; I've removed the link because the Plano country club apparently does not have a Wikipedia article. Carguychris (talk) 19:57, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
