'''Asphalt''' is the term used throughout most of the petroleum industry as the tar produced in petroleum refineries. Many dictionaries have two definitions: (1)the tar produced in refineries and (2) the paving material known as asphalt.
For that reason, I put on my editor hat and renamed the [[Asphalt]] article as [[Asphalt (paving)]]. And I will subsequently create a new article named [[Asphalt (petroleum)]] as well as a DAB page. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 22:22, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Reason for renaming

Asphalt is the term used throughout most of the petroleum industry as the tar produced in petroleum refineries. Many dictionaries have two definitions: (1)the tar produced in refineries and (2) the paving material known as asphalt.

For that reason, I put on my editor hat and renamed the Asphalt article as Asphalt (paving). And I will subsequently create a new article named Asphalt (petroleum) as well as a DAB page. Milton Beychok 22:22, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
