Talk:Dilbit

Good article. Written by an oil industry insider? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.86.128 (talk) 15:30, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Why questions for article structure?
This article is structured in a way contrary to most wikipedia articles. The topics should not be questions, but rather adhere to normal wikipedia article structure naming conventions. 74.66.227.183 (talk) 03:51, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Good question...if I had to guess, I'd say it's most likely the people who wrote it were a bit biased to the oil industry, soo maybe not the best people to write a page, cuz it does seem like an oil website's FAQs.... -I'd fix it up, but I'm no where close to an expert on the field, so anything I say might be misinformed or just regurgitated bias. Hopefully someone can fix this. 75.56.196.94 (talk) 06:38, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Should the spill section be moved to the oil spill page
The spill component belongs on the oil spill page. By adding it to the Dilbit page it gives the impression of supporting special interest groups. TruthInPrint (talk) 01:34, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

 * There is a section on petroleum and petroleum. Why is a mention of spills on Dilbit supporting special interests? Jim1138 (talk) 02:13, 30 December 2016 (UTC)


 * My thoughts are that the spill section belongs on the Oil Spill page. It is the natural home for it.
 * In a time when astro-turfing and fake news are significant issues, the optics of having opinion quotes concerning a spill appear to be supporting a particular belief. When one looks to Wiki to determine what Dilbit is they should see that information and nothing else. If they want to see information about oil spills they should see comprehensive information about what happens, including Dilbit as having unique issues.
 * If I look up the word "release" I would not expect to find quotes about the Kalamazoo spill. I would expect nothing more than its defined meanings with examples. The question begs as to why it is included in the Dilbit page. Does it suit an agenda? Is there then a need for balance with a "pro" statement, and if so does that then relegate Wiki to just an opinion blog site? TruthInPrint (talk) 19:20, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
