Refinary is capitalized its part of a proper name of the "Chevron"—"R"efineary
Template:RFC errorTemplate:RFC error its not a Chevron refinary in Richmond its the Richmond Chevron Refinary, there's only one. its the name of the place. its JFK High School not JFK high school.Cholga 03:02, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- First of all, please learn to spell if you're going to continue the conceit of editing an encyclopedia; it's refinery, not "refinary".
- Second of all, it is not capitalized. It is not a part of the name of the facility; it is simply a refinery that happens to be owned and run by the Chevron Corp. (not ChevronTexaco, by the way; they dropped that name several years ago). +ILike2BeAnonymous 03:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- dude it has a name; that arguement is ludacrous.Cholga 03:11, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Whatever. As usual, you're arguing for something that's dead wrong. Learn how to write. +ILike2BeAnonymous 03:20, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- learn some manners. and its a proper noun, a name. its capitalized.Cholga 03:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- "Refinery" is a proper noun??? +ILike2BeAnonymous 03:29, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
no it's not, but Chevron Richmond Refinary isCholga 03:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
As usual, you are wrong, and I can prove it. Here's a sampling of (mostly) news articles that mention this very refinery (it's not as if they're hard to find or anything, as the facility is constantly causing problems of one kind or another):
- A CBS 5 story: "A flare-up at Chevron's Richmond refinery on Monday may have released potentially toxic chemicals into the air ...".
- An article from SF Gate: "... in view of ferryboat traffic and the Chevron refinery."
- Another SF Gate story: "Chevron's Richmond refinery produces more than 225,000 barrels per day ..."
- Another SF Gate story: "Contra Costa County officials are blaming glitches in the emergency alert system for a delay of more than an hour between the time a fire broke out at the Chevron refinery this morning ..."
Even Chevron's own press releases sometimes don't capitalize the name, like this one: "The Chevron Richmond refinery, which employs more than 1,450 employees and more than 100 contractors, is one of the largest refineries on the West Coast with a 240,000 barrel-per-day capacity."
So it should not be capitalized. Just because Chevron capitalizes it in (most of) their own press releases does not make it correct here. +ILike2BeAnonymous 07:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
What matters is what Chevron calls it. An obscure miscapitalization is obviously a typographical error.Ah0000000ga (talk) 07:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC) it should be capitolized.Umiumitooti (talk) 01:06, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
