Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 15:09, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Poor grammar, leading to an incorrect interpretation.

In the first section of the history, we read "Immediately after establishing the company, the British government asked Percy Cox...". This implies that the British government established the company. The Real Walrus (talk) 19:03, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Continuity error and possibly incorrect value

In the introduction, it reads, “On 2 July 2015, BP and five states announced an $18.7 billion settlement”, however in the article depicting the oil spill, it states that “BP agreed to pay $20.8 billion in fine which is the largest corporate settlement…”. The sources were different, and the oil spill article's was updated in 2017, yet this one was in 2015 and has 'roughly' before the amount. go on then (talk) 21:16, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
