Marketing

This article reads like an advertisement. Whoever keeps referring to a company as "a dynamic, competitive company focused on a single core business: petroleum refining and marketing" isn't even skirting neutrality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.111.74.210 (talk • contribs) .

So remove the non-neutral content. Inserting your own opinions or replacing the word "and" with "'n'" is not the best method to edit the article. Kuru ^talk 23:14, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

I don't know how to do this, but we need a disambiguation here.

Italy's Department of Treasury is known as "The Tesoro" or just "Tesoro":

Tesoro website: http://www.dt.tesoro.it/en/

Evidence of use (Financial Times): http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2012/04/05/950911/the-mystery-of-morgan-stanley%E2%80%99s-footnote-unravels-%E2%80%93-part-2/

Regardless of the reknown of the Texas-based company, Tesoro Italia is surely a more significant global entity? Bokononist (talk) 01:48, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No real need yet as there isn't an article to disambiguate. If the article has a moral formal title, say Dipartimento del Tesoro, then we can put a disambiguation link at the top of this page. If the article needs to use Tesoro, we can switch this to Tesoro (company) and place the link there; or make that a full disambiguation page. Kuru (talk) 02:22, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, good point (It's here in Italian, but I don't have the skills to properly make a page: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipartimento_del_Tesoro ) If it hasn't happened yet, maybe it isn't needed (though as the European crisis continues, it might well be). Thanks for your help. Bokononist (talk) 03:35, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We should provide more info on the Superfund sites

The article says,

the Environmental Protection Agency named Tesoro a potentially responsible party for at least four superfund toxic waste sites

The article provides a source for this, but it gives a "page not found" error. I tried to see if the article's publisher still has it on their website somewhere, but I didn't succeed. According to Wikipedia's article on Anaconda Copper, there is (or has been) a major liability for Superfund cleanup. Cleanup of the Anaconda sites is probably not complete, given the scale of contamination. Financial liability may or may not now be on the books of Andeavor or Tesoro, but that's not the end of the contamination. Oaklandguy (talk) 22:23, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Andeavor → Tesoro Corporation – Known as Tesoro Corporation for most of its life from 1968 to 2017, known as Andeavor only briefly from 2017 to 2018. – Thjarkur (talk) 08:48, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support — It would be nice if the community were more proactive on WP:COMMONNAME violations so we could avoid discussions like this in the first place. The Tesoro name continues to be used to brand gas stations here in Alaska. A quick web search returned hits mostly about Alaska but suggested the name may also still be used elsewhere, possibly at least in Washington state where the brand also has significant history. To the best of my knowledge, Andeavor has never been used as a branding or other publicly-recognized name. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 19:17, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
