Talk:Okobie road tanker explosion

Page title
I've moved the page because "tank truck" is not even remotely a recognised term in Nigeria. Example Google hits for .ng domains:
 * "Tank truck" = 23
 * "Tanker" (-ship) = 11,200

As can be seen, the leading returns are actual local reports of this particular incident. Nick Cooper (talk) 07:30, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Okada = operators or motorcycles
Our article Okada (commercial motorcycle) says Okada are motorcycles. But the source cited does make it sound like they're the drivers. I suspect that source is a bad edit on the newspaper's part, but I'm not sure. Wnt (talk) 12:31, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

"Stealing" or "looting" not appropriate
I removed the term "steal" that someone had added, and I see now that someone has added "loot" and I think that needs reverting also. The source #4 doesn't say either of these things. I think that even here in the U.S., if you see fuel spilling out and soaking into the ground, and you can put a plastic container under the flow and take it for your own, that's not really either of these things, but rather, a salvage of genuinely abandoned/lost property that incidentally helps the local environment, though of course, at unacceptable personal risk. Judging by how quickly such groups of people form in Africa, apparently they don't see it as a crime either. Wikipedia has a WP:BLP policy that asks us to be conservative in how we approach coverage of living or recently deceased persons, and butting into a society we don't know intimately to add biased and judgmental language that the source doesn't use ... that doesn't make the cut in my opinion. And I believe in WP:BLP less than just about anybody here I know! Wnt (talk) 20:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
