Mobil 1 controversy on wikipedia.org

[Bryanccfshr]

I just checked for the first time and it was there.

This is really strange. It doesn't show up for me in firefox, but it does show up in IE7, i cleared out everything in both browsers. This morning i was using firefox when i first saw it.

It's gone, if people still see it they need to clear their browser cache.

Wrong, I cleared my browser (i.e 6) and it's still there, AND I got my laptop out and went to that page (my laptop hasn't been used in about a month so no cache) and it's there (also I.E. 6).

The link is good, I'm using Firefox also.

It's not there. Do a refresh while you're on the page.

Mobil 1 was introduced in 1974. In 2002 Mobil 1 introduced "supersyn" anti-wear technology, followed by Mobil 1 Extended Performance in 2005 which increased the use of this technology further by using Group III base oil.

What happened to Tri-Synth? Anyone have a link to the VWVortex thread with the Tri-Synth/SuperSyn absorbtion graphs?

 

[buster]

I had my wife check it on her computer. She has never been to this site (can't imagine why)

Anyhow it comes up on her computer. She read it to me. She has I.E 7 Maybe it's an Firefox thing. Really weird though.

It be gone now ... on both IE and Firefox. But Google's cache still has it.

 

[Gary Allan]

How much web content are us FF users missing since some HTML appears to be only IE7 visible ????

Mr. Bill strikes again!!

Hmmm...visions of that John Carpenter movie with Rowdy Roddy Piper in "They Live"

 

[tom slick]

it was not there in FF but still there in IE7. both browsers were opened within 30 secs of each other....strange.

great "controversy" though!!

 

[DragRace]

It's still there people,I can see it using Internet Exploder or Firefox,doesnt matter.

 

[DragRace]

Something is up,someone removed some info the way it looks now,how sneaky

 

[Shannow]

When I click on the poster's original link, this comes up at the top of the page:

I don't see it either.

 

[moribundman]

I still see the "controversy" stuff. I have a screenshot of it, too.

 

[Blue99]

That's really crazy, must be a cache issue.

The edit history indicates a registered Wilkipedia user removed the entire "Controversy" section on Friday evening.

I wonder if it's a DNS server round-robin thing.

Of those who *can* see the controversy save the web page to a Word Doc, or something equivalent, we'd appreciate it!

 

[moribundman]

Whoa! Now the controversy part is gone. I guess it was still in my cache when I went there a few hours ago. I do have the screenshot, though. If someone wants to host it, let me know. I don't have time to tango with Mobil's legal wolves.
