[edit] reason

"Oil from the Exxon Valdez and Gulf War oil spills" persisted. "By contrast", "the Braer spill off the Shetland Islands and the Sea Empress spill off Milford Haven left almost no long-term environmental damage", why the difference? Jackzhp 12:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aberdeen?

I removed the following line from the article, because I couldn't find any sources for it. Any ideas?

"A tanker spill off shore from Aberdeen, Washington released 100,000 gallons of oil into the harbor. [citation needed]" Fredwerner (talk) 05:40, 25 November 2007 (UTC) then made out wih sam —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.204.4.10 (talk) 17:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

Under environmental effects: "Oil coats the vagina of Sea otters, seals, reducing their furs natural insulation abilities" —Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinssiFO (talk • contribs) 22:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like someone was trying to slip that in there. No citation and incorrect information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by sanjat312 (talk • —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.75.220 (talk) 07:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oil Spills in other areas

This article should be expanded to include Oil Spills that are NOT in the environment. E.G. Oil Spills that pose safety hazards in maintenance or construction areas. There is currently no article for those. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.164.80.42 (talk) 10:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
