[edit] mammoth
Agreed that "mammoth" is not the most typical encyclop. word, but was a direct quote from Schwarz who, no doubt, did not choose the word lightly. Could change to a similar descriptor, since I have omitted the quote marks (i.e. could paraphrase with a similar word). Cheers, --Dylanfly 12:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

- You did not list it as a quote, nor is the quote, or author, notable enough to be quoted here in full. We are not not bound to use an author's non-encyclopedia language in our encyclopedia.--Merbabu 16:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hey mon, why so dour? It's a nice addition, and a direct quote from one of your faves. It's also a nice little illustration of this little disagreement we've been having. Look--I can respect that "mammoth" is a pretty big descriptor, but it's not exactly biased is it? OK, maybe there's a better adjective. Let's agree on that. But let's also respect Schwarz' conceptual framework here: the Pertamina fiasco was, I assume, the biggest bailout in this history of Indonesia, and probably one of the biggest in the the history of the world. It had colossal and lasting implications for the economy. It's an astronomical sum. For me, that's part of the basic overview of Pertamina: omitting it is a disservice to the reader. So maybe you're correct--maybe 'mammoth' isn't the best choice. BUT, the bail-out is so significant, it ought to have a long discussion, if not its own WP article. Can we agree on that point? Even if the word choice bothers you, I think you can see that its inclusion was rather innocent on my part. I hope you can appreciate that I have made a nice contribution to WP:Pertamina. --Dylanfly 17:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
