message: updated the financial data, but the new source they cite is large. I was unable to dig up the precise page number the stuff was on. Could someone else doublecheck?- Mgm|(talk) 22:05, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I am wondering because I cannot find a hint of the lost lawsuit and the 5.15 billion dollars they had to pay, as in the german Wikipedia . --Lkl ★ 11:09, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I also can't find any hint about Anadarko having acquired Kerr-McGee in the article or about Kerr-McGee committing something that is not far away from genocide against the Navajos by polluting Navajo territory with corporate waste. Neither do I find that in the Kerr-McGee article. So I can't see if that would be true or false (DE-Wikipedia is known to be not trustworthy on controversial articles). --Constructor 06:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a Track: Tronox - "[...] In April 2014, the federal government reached a $5 billion dollar settlement with Anadarko (successor to Kerr-McGee) in the largest environmental case in American history. According to one report, "Kerr-McGee, rather than pay for the environmental mess it created, decided to shift the liabilities between 2002 and 2006 into Tronox. Kerr-McGee, meanwhile, kept its valuable oil and gas assets." The cost to clean up the mess inherited by Tronox from Kerr-McGee was estimated by the courts to be over $5 billion.[4] There are contaminated sites in 22 states and the Navajo Nation. "Among the dozens of locations targeted for cleanup under the settlement is a former chemical manufacturing site in Nevada that has led to contamination in Lake Mead, abandoned uranium mines in and around the Navajo Nation, and a Superfund site in Gloucester, N.J., polluted by thorium."[4] [...]" --Lkl ★ 18:44, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm concerned about the POV in this section. Calling Anadarko's woes a "mess" doesn't seem encyclopedic or neutral to me, for example. I hope to be able to make some edits that are more constructive shortly. Trevdna (talk) 23:28, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The word "mess" is taken directly from the reliable cited source, that is what the source calls it and is an accurate description on multiple levels. However since that seems to be causing a problem I changed it. -- GreenC 02:19, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
