The WP article was ported here and then torn apart. Some sections were deleted completely as being unneccessary or transient (i.e., a section on prices which can change drastically from day to day). Others were combined, such as combining the three separate sections on nation-by-nation production, consumption  and reserves. The two sections on nation-by-nation exports and imports were deleted entirely ... too much data, this is an encyclopedic article rather than a data base of everything under the sun. The WP article had two many maps and graphs that were simply copied from their sources ... and again, too much data. Some new sections were added. The History section was greatly expanded. Other sections were completely re-written. Some broken links to references were replace by working links. Other references were changed. Very little of the WP article remains.

Milt, would you have any opinion on a good title for the industry/economic area (i.e., what they call the "awl bidness" in Texas), as opposed to the engineering aspects of extraction and processing? There's certainly a need to have a top-level article that deals with economic and political aspects related to petroleum specifically.
Yet another term, for which I'm considering an article, is the military [[petroleum, oil and lubricants]](POL), which is more focused on the logistical aspects, as well as targeting the POL system of an adversary . It would also be a subtopic of some general term for "oil". [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 20:32, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia has an article named "Petroleum"

Term/title for the industry

Milt, would you have any opinion on a good title for the industry/economic area (i.e., what they call the "awl bidness" in Texas), as opposed to the engineering aspects of extraction and processing? There's certainly a need to have a top-level article that deals with economic and political aspects related to petroleum specifically.

Yet another term, for which I'm considering an article, is the military petroleum, oil and lubricants(POL), which is more focused on the logistical aspects, as well as targeting the POL system of an adversary . It would also be a subtopic of some general term for "oil". Howard C. Berkowitz 20:32, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
