message: I saw your recent edit to Shell Oil. What is needed with the image? I did not understand your notation. Thank you. WarrenOutsky (talk) 22:38, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The image was on the article until some editor replaced it with an image of a British petrol station. This subsequently was removed as the article is about Shell in the US. The article has changed a bit since those events so the picture might no longer be suitable, I leave that to the regular editors of Shell Oil. I was just trying to clean up image replacments which due to coyright issues or other problems in the end led to a total removal without reinstating the orinal fitting image.

replies: text: The relevant edits where: change of image and subsequent removal of unsuitable image. As I said the article has changed quite a bit since then so it might no longer be needed. I was just going through the first users contributions as there had been a number of image issues. Agathoclea (talk) 09:52, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi,
Although the edit has been reverted, what about the office closing in Perth? Can someone tell if that actually happened.

message: I explained why I deleted it, the source for it goes to the website of Royal Dutch Shell (www.shell.com) the link to the website of The Shell Oil Company is www.shell.us This is because the Shell Oil Company is the US Subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, the parent company. The 93,000 employees cited are the number of employees who work for Royal Dutch Shell, of which the Shell Oil Company is a part, like Shell Nigeria, and Shell Pakistan. The number of employees of The Shell Oil Company is not listed on www.shell.us. The information is correct, only however for Royal Dutch Shell. Here's the link to Royal Dutch Shell's wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Dutch_Shell  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.57.175.24 (talk) 16:14, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

message: I added revenue some time back, but it's worth mentioning that the revenue that I added is a very rough estimate. Finding information in general, and financial information in particular, on Shell's wholly owned subsidiaries is next to impossible, even shell.us has virtually nothing in general regards. So... I found an article that gave the percentage of Royal Dutch Shell's revenue deriving from The Shell Oil Company for the year 2013 then multiplied this against revenues in 2016 to get the number. That being said the number this number is of course rife with problems, first and foremost the year for the last annual revenue statement is 2016 not 2013, second off the markets were much different in 2013 i.e. the oil and energy industry hadn't yet gone to h*** in a hand basket, thirdly since this report in 2013 Shell has purchased BG which had significant holdings in the Americas, fourth American operations tend to have higher minimum cost per barrel numbers making them some of the first to get closed. These reasons are just the tip of the iceberg, so while the number gives a general idea, it is an incredibly rough estimate at best. 85.57.175.24 (talk) 20:41, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Under "Legal Issues", there's a section on "Campaign Violations" that reads: 
"Shell workers had to attend Trump speech to be paid and were ordered not to protest.[23] Federal law prohibits a corporation from making a contribution.[24]"
The event happened about 15 months before the 2020 election, and wasn't branded as a Trump campaign event. Additional sources are needed to show if this is a campaign violation. The seems to be a very poor characterization of what happened relative to the sources.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.34.188 (talk) 14:49, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

message: The following sentence has nothing to do with Shell Oil (USA):
"In the year 2016, Shell Nederland Raffinaderij BV (Shell Pernis) said that it has started a new aromatics unit at the large Pernis refinery in Rotterdam, Netherlands."  FreeFlow99 (talk) 09:53, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

message: Near the end of the article, in the section entitled "External Links", there is a link to list the works by Shell Union Oil Company that are available as audiobooks from Librivox. I have no issue with its overall placement (near the end), nor with its specific categorization (it's a link and it's external). My issue is this: The list to which it refers is empty. Librivox does not have any recording of works by Shell Union Oil Company, none are planned or in progress, and as far as I can tell, Librivox never previously had any such material. Yet the link is still there and rapidly approaching its tenth birthday.
I am going to remove it "very soon" on the grounds that it serves no useful purpose. (That is unless somebody can provide a reference to its necessity, in which case I will remove the pointless reference and then remove the useless link.) Is everyone OK with that?

message: BLPs should be written responsibly, cautiously, and in a dispassionate tone, avoiding both understatement and overstatement. Articles should document in a non-partisan manner what reliable secondary sources have published about the subjects, and in some circumstances what the subjects have published about themselves. Summarize how actions and achievements are characterized by reliable sources without giving undue weight to recent events. Do not label people with contentious labels, loaded language, or terms that lack precision, unless a person is commonly described that way in reliable sources. Instead use clear, direct language and let facts alone do the talking. 103.127.69.179 (talk) 13:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
