  • curprev 03:2503:25, 7 May 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 75,498 bytes −113 Removed sentence "Rhodes has said that his biggest weakness is" The quote is "Rhodes’ observers said he was trying to make a statement, but didn’t follow through on a commitment, which they described as his biggest weakness.They said he’s committed to himself, but not necessarily other people, and that the episode initially generated a lot of goodwill, but he never lived up to the publicity after that. Rhodes admitted that’s the case." He admited what exactly? And based on an anonymous quote? undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 03:0303:03, 7 May 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 75,611 bytes +271 Updated "defective housing" by adding facts such as Rhodes paid "several million" towards at $16.2m settlement involving two other builders. Changed "lifted some homes five feet" to five inches. Added "at the time" regarding the settlement being the largest in state history, which it was in 2000 but not 2011. Placed quote about corrupt lawyers at end of section, to include source material fact that from 2006-2011 20 out of 43 complaints filed were deemed unfounded. Giving context to the quote. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 01:4801:48, 7 May 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 75,340 bytes −31 Updated for accuracy. This sentence is incorrect, “In 1999, the Nevada State Contractors Board suspended the contractor license for Rhodes Homes" Rhodes Homes did not have their license suspended. The source material says "The board had proposed to suspend Rhodes' license in January, but no formal decision and order was issued, according to Margi Grein, executive officer of the board in Las Vegas." Instead the company was placed on probation for a year. Citations already in place. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 01:1501:15, 7 May 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 75,371 bytes −4 Updated sentence: "The case was resolved four years later, with Rhodes Homes paying $3 million as part of a $12.5 million settlement. Subcontractors in the case also contributed to the settlement money." The source material says subcontractors paid 80% of the settlement, which is unclear in describing they "also contributed to the settlement." However 80% was a mild exageration as subcontractors paid 76% of the settlement. Using $3 million and $9.5 million, respectively, simplified the matter. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 00:5200:52, 7 May 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 75,375 bytes +99 updated sentence: "At the end of 1999, more than 350 homeowners at Palm Gardens filed suit against Rhodes Homes, alleging numerous defects." Added relevant details from source material, "At the end of 1999, more than 350 homeowners at Palm Gardens filed suit against 51 defendants including Rhodes Homes and 46 subcontractors alleging defects in 236 of the community's 599 homes." undo Tag: Visual edit

  • curprev 13:1913:19, 26 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 75,496 bytes +396 Clairified that the 50 lawsuits cited in the sentence were mostly from homeowners. The way the sentence was written it appeared the 50 lawsuits were brought by business partners. I also expanded details involving the 1993 Palm Garden litigation and included a new citation. undo Tag: Visual edit

  • curprev 17:4217:42, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 75,100 bytes +623 Updated for accuracy. This sentence is wrong. "Palm Hills was eventually placed under the control of a receiver, who blocked Rhodes' attempts to take back control of the project." The receiver controlled the project for less than 6 months before Rhodes regained control by purchasing the estate of the enity which controlled the project, nullifying the receiver. Citations added. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 16:3616:36, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 74,477 bytes +2 Updated sentence: "Construction workers have filed various complaints against Rhodes, claiming he failed to pay them, although Rhodes said that such workers are dishonest about the amount of work and the time it actually took." The source material doesn't say Rhodes said all worker complaints were dishonest. He said "some subcontractors want pay for 40 hours of work when it only took them four hours to complete." Updated to reflect the distinction and sentenced rewritten for grammar. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 16:2316:23, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 74,475 bytes +51 Updated sentence quoting Rhodes “I signed up to be a builder and not (to) be popular or unpopular.” to contain the full quote “I just work and try hard, and try to do good work. I signed up to be a builder and not (to) be popular or unpopular.” Citation at end of paragraph. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 16:1516:15, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 74,424 bytes +8 Updated sentence accuracy: "He has also been the subject of much publicity, variously describing him as successful, impatient, and untrustworthy." Nowhere in the source material is the word "successful" used. The original sentence: "used to describe Rhodes: visionary, risk-taker and entrepreneur, which have been contrasted by moody, impatient and untrustworthy." Citation at end of paragraph. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 16:0416:04, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 74,416 bytes +15 Updated the sentence "Rhodes is considered one of Las Vegas' most controversial developers." To include more of the original quote which says, "Rhodes has been one of Las Vegas’ most successful and controversial developers and home builders." Citation was already present. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 16:0116:01, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 74,401 bytes +174 Updated sentence accuracy: "Ground water was also found to have high radioactive levels, but Rhodes Design and Development Corporation planned to proceed with the project, as local officials had yet to declare a health concern." The source described radioactivity as "higher than normal" which is different. Added a quote from a Nevada DEP scientist to clarify "yet to declare a health concern." There was none. "We have no concerns about the ground water from a public health standpoint." Citation undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 12:3012:30, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 74,227 bytes 0 Updated the sentence "For the past 20 years, he had been one of the largest private homebuilders in Las Vegas." Changed had to has, which is how the sentence was written from the original source material. "Rhodes has been one of the largest private homebuilders in Las Vegas for the past 20 years." Citation was already in place. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 12:2512:25, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 74,227 bytes +35 Updated the sentence "Rhodes is considered one of Las Vegas' most controversial developers." To include more of the original quote which says, "Rhodes has been one of Las Vegas’ most successful and controversial developers and home builders." Citation added after the sentence, but the citation had been used in the content. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 12:1912:19, 25 April 2023 Applejack39 talk contribs 74,192 bytes +67 For clarity I expanded the sentence "He filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009, and turned over most of his residential projects to creditors." to include the Chapter 11 bankruptcy did not involve Harmony Homes. undo Tag: Visual edit
