Removal of political adjectives.

edit

The following is noted in the Aftermath section: "rejected oil giant BP's legal challenge"

The line should be noted as: "rejected BP's legal challenge"

There is no need in an encyclopedia to describe BP as being a "giant oil". BP is obviously a big company involved in oil production, distribution and retail sales employing 1000's of people. Descriptions such as "giant oil" or "big oil" are politically charged terms meant to be derogatory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.90.157.248 (talk) 19:51, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
