Discursive and overdetailed

I think all the right material is here, but it's way overdetailed e.g. we don't need to know the color of the coveralls the men wore on the way up. E Eng

Article additions

Should be in article "over 90 percent of Americans born in the 2010s never heard about this story (and never will)". Also, most Americans alive in 2010 probably ignored this story or didn't follow it (if they didn't follow the news). It's obvious that in many countires this story was less covered than in the US. I believe that the media coverage over this tragedy was one of the lowest points in journalistic history. If Peter Jennings was alive in 2010, I know for a fact he would have ignored this story since he knew it was media sensalist trash.Randomnewsarticlecommentor (talk) 19:34, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is cycle time?

The tables for rescued miners and rescue workers include a column for "cycle time". There is no context or explanation for what this means. The articles linked as sources for these columns do not include the word "cycle". This should be updated and made clear. ARealSwellFellow (talk) 01:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chilean-Gringuean joint venture drilling company

The "Drilling plans" - "Plan B" part says: "Plan B involved a Schramm Inc. T130XD air core drill owned by Geotec S.A. (a Chilean-Gringuean joint venture drilling company)"

However I find almost no results when I type "Gringuean" on Google. Does this word even exist? What does it mean? RainbowRollD (talk) 19:35, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
