This article's title sucks. This was no "leak", it was wantonly destroyed by IDF weapons. s/leak/spill 71.162.255.58 06:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

It's a leak caused by an attack brain drain.
So the Exxon Valdez oil spill was a "leak"? 71.162.255.58 16:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, the s/leak/spill/ has to be distributed around and about. But I think it's done. Also re-wrote the introduction a bit. mdf 16:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] consistent units

I've converted the 110,000 barrels into 16,000 tonnes, to be consistent with the rest of the article. 6.3 barrels per cubic metre, density 0.93 tonnes/m^3 were used. mdf 22:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tense

Can this still be considered an ongoing event? I think not, but will wait a few days for other editors to chip in before rewriting to past tense. MX44 06:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Most of it should be written in the past tense. The only exception would be ongoing pollution or cleanup. — George [talk] 16:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
