Why Does the Gulf of Mexico Oil Disaster Keep Getting Hidden on the BP Wikipedia page?
Do you really think that is good for PR?

We care about small people
Sooner or later, the phrase "We care about small people" will appear in the article. Do we really need to wait for a RS to mention it on paper before it can be mentioned here? Oclupak (talk) 19:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No, the phrase is "tempest in a tea pot". The man is Swedish. He is effectively being criticized for his poor English. Anyone using normal honesty with his or her interpretation, will realize he meant "Average Joe". My guess is this will probably make a lot of people in the non-English speaking world start sympathizing with him. But to make this encyclopedic? I have no clue. Give it some days or weeks, perhaps a good solution will appear. We're not in a rush, are we? Greswik (talk) 11:25, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course he meant "Average Joe" but it can be fairly assumed that what came out of his mouth was analogous to a freudian slip. At any rate, I realize that I quoted Mr. Svanberg incorrectly so I will take this opportunity to set the record straight. His actual words were: "We care about THE small people". This time around, I have numerous Reliable Sources. As of June 18, 2010, 14:16 UTC, Google lists no less than 113,000 results for that exact phrase. For the record, I will jot down here the one which in my view is the most accurate source but which is very often deemed as an unreliable one by Wikipedia editors, namely the | YouTube video of the incident. Along with "Drill, Baby, Drill" and "I want my life back" the spontaneous outburst of the BP chairman will arguably be one of the most famous quotes coming out of the BP oil spill episode and also perhaps of the whole year 2010.

 * As of 23 June 2010, 13:47 UTC, Google comes up with 1,320,000 results for the exact phrase "We care about the small people". Oclupak (talk) 11:52, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
