I've noticed that in this article, the word "Oilfield" is used in the title, but nowhere else. However, in the references and in the article, oil field is used much more, and is in the references. Does anyone think that we should move the article to a new title, or change the use of the word oilfield in the article? Kuro ♪ 22:40, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
