Talk:Greenpoint oil spill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Questions about timing of lawsuit

This section does NOT read like an encyclopedia article. It has an obvious bias, and it uses phrases like "calls were not returned," as if it came from a newspaper article. Recommend it be removed or undergo cosmetic surgery. 74.136.204.1 01:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I added the POV flag and the unreferenced material flag for reasons described above. It seems as though someone personally involved with some of the events described in the article WROTE the article. Citations are needed throughout and the bias is painfully clear. Mellowaim10 14:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copying from sources

Some of the material in this article is directly copied from its sources. For instance, the sentence "This stands to reason, as the spilled oil tends to lie deep underground, capped by a nearly impermeable layer of clay" is a direct quote from the source cited. It should either be placed in quotation marks, or paraphrased. Bjheiden 03:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
