2020 Update
[edit]In February 2020, there have been many articles reporting that we now know the spill was 30% larger. (sources: miamiherald, CNN) － Cy21 ➜ discuss 14:13, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
Removal of political adjectives.
[edit]The following is noted in the Aftermath section: "rejected oil giant BP's legal challenge"
The line should be noted as: "rejected BP's legal challenge"
There is no need in an encyclopedia to describe BP as being a "giant oil". BP is obviously a big company involved in oil production, distribution and retail sales employing 1000's of people. Descriptions such as "giant oil" or "big oil" are politically charged terms meant to be derogatory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.90.157.248 (talk) 19:51, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
