Floating citys[edit]

Should we reference floating cities? Ocean colonization seems to incorporate both the surface and below. Houdinipeter (talk) 15:36, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted brief overview and references as it was poorly written, would be good to add updates to the progress on this theory B.east168 (talk) 14:45, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot seem to fix two of the references for the literature section, if anyone knows how to fix this that would be great B.east168 (talk) 14:52, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a mess[edit]

It's poorly structured and needlessly confusing, it imparts little actual information on the reader and has a very noticeable liberatarian slant to it all. Maybe a merge to seasteading should be done instead of rewriting this article, as both seem to discuss the same concept. Stockmausen (talk) 19:28, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that most of this article could be merged into seasteading. Though as it has developed into focusing on its colonialist dimension I think it could stay as an article but develop this different focus on colonialism. Nsae Comp (talk) 03:05, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editor Intending to Make Changes[edit]

I'm a novice editor planning on making Wikipedia edits on this page for the next few weeks for a technical/professional editing class. I would like to address the issues I see within the article. For sure I want to make some organizational changes to the page, many sections could be moved around and merged. There are also a few language errors I have noticed (i.e., a mixture of colonization v. colonisation usage). I think that this page still has the potential to be better.
