Tense[edit]

Why keep changing the tense of this article? Keep it in the present tense. Because the situation at the resort is literally a developing story, lots can change. Importantly, the resort's golf course and zip line are open. Why change something to the past tense if the resort is still open and the bankruptcy proceedings are still developing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.115.43 (talk) 08:57, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a better editing approach is to use present tense for reasonably current events and past tense for past events, then make sure that, as current events become historic events or facts, present tense becomes past tense by accurate and ongoing editing. An event that had a strong "this is happening" (X is losing to Y) impact in 2010 may have fizzled to unimportance (X and Y gave up their fight)/(edit=delete) or have had a very good or bad outcome (X won and Y lost) that is now a past event deserving a past tense verb (won vs winning, lost vs losing).
