[edit] Macro project
By Richard B. Cathcart (thank you for getting an Id, please remember to Log in when you edit). I would call this original research but there isn't any. When you strip off the pretentious language all you are left with is "very large civil engineering projects can have ecological impacts". -- RHaworth 02:02, 2005 July 11 (UTC)

- Delete bloviation, POV lacking a P. -EDM 04:25, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per above. Also, Wikipedia is not a place for discussion of future events (I think it's in what Wikipedia is not or something). -mysekurity 05:41, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
- "MACRO-ENGINEERING" should be a separate entry in Wikipedia. "Bloviation" is in the sight of the beholder...commenter above is ignorant of the topic. Surely, the fist paragraph "WORD HISTORY" has some value to Wikipedia's users? After the first paragraphy I simply wished to expound on the topic to inform the uninformed. RBC.
- RBC has: failed to follow my advice to log in, has failed to indicate whether he is voting to keep or delete, has failed to sign his comment and seems to have forgotten that he has already created macro-engineering (without the horrible capitals). The latter article is almost as bad as macro project - he could not even manage to link it to Candida Oancea Institute - but I will let soneone else put it up for VfD, I think I have been cruel enough to RBC for this month. (To RBC and EDM - what does "bloviation" mean it is not in wikipedia nor in wiktionary.) -- RHaworth 10:43, 2005 July 15 (UTC)
- Bloviation is speaking or writing pompously and free of content. Hot air. It was popularized by H. L. Mencken. The term fits this article as though it were coined for it, although unlike the present case, normally the bloviator is so absorbed in his own importance that he wouldn't make the effort to be rude to his audience. -EDM 14:09, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
