New chair

[edit]

Hello editors. Bp has a new chairman, Albert Manifold, who started 1 October (source, source).

Can the chair be updated in the infobox, 2020 to present section, and Management section? Thank you Vishal BP (talk) 12:57, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Done. Dormskirk (talk) 13:15, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Key people update

[edit]

Hi editors, I'm Niharika, taking over for Vishal BP as bp's representative on Wikipedia. I propose updating the infobox to reflect current leadership in the Key people field: Albert Manifold as chair, Meg O'Neill as CEO, and Carol Howle as deputy CEO. All three roles are covered by this Reuters article. Please let me know what you think! Niharika BP (talk) 18:12, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Done. Dormskirk (talk) 18:34, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Dormskirk: Thanks so much! I had a similar request at Talk:Meg O'Neill in case you were interested in looking at that one too. Thanks again! Niharika BP (talk) 12:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Deprecated name?

[edit]

I see that there was a prior discussion at Talk:BP/Archive 21. People in that discussion seem to have agreed to refer to "British Petroleum" as a "former name" in the lead section of the article. But I don't see any such statement in the lead section of the article currently. The lead section says the name "British Petroleum" was adopted in 1954, but it does not say that the name was ever deprecated. Is that a former name or is it a current name? I see some mention of attempting to redefine the abbreviation as "Beyond Petroleum". That is mentioned in the article body, but not in the lead section. Is that backronym still used? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:20, 22 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
