I don't know why someone added a screed about "NASCAR" (some racing sport?) to the end of the article, but it's deleted now. Is this some new sort of ratings war conducted by robots?
"....Suddenly the rig heeled over 30° and then stabilised. Five of the six anchor cables had broken, the one remaining cable was preventing the rig from capsizing. The list continued to increase and at 18.53 the remaining anchor cable snapped and the rig turned upside down....."
A multimedia animation of the capsizing does not include (visually) the role of the mooring cables or their sequence of failure (i.e. breakage). Is there a similar animation or simulation for the Ocean Ranger? What was the equivalent sequence for the Ocean Ranger?

Of the 212 people aboard 89 survived, but I count only 49 saved in the description of the rescue: 19 in lifeboat #5, 3 from Kielland 's rafts, 13 from Edda 's rafts, 7 by supply boats, and 7 swimmers. There were 40 men then in the one lifeboat that launched, or else how were these other men saved? Yappy2bhere ( talk) 08:01, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Why is "wreck" added to this article name? Some other "wrecks": MV Wilhelm Gustloff, German battleship Bismarck, RMS Titanic, HMS Hood (51). These articles all include the sinking of the ships, but no "wrecks". Suggest a move to Alexander L. Kielland (platform). KjellG ( talk) 19:28, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Ok, at least some clarification is required in this article. At about 18:30 rig heeled over 30°, stabilized, started to list again and at 18:53 capsized. Then accident description says - "130 men were in the mess hall and the cinema". Well, I find it hard to believe. Rig heeled over 30°, but regardless they are still eating their dinner and (dear God) watching movies at the cinema?! The way it is written makes it look that way, like they didn't react for 23 minutes. That part of the article needs to be either rewritten or, if they really were so careless about a 30° list, at least some further explanation is required. --nn — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.3.109.11 ( talk) 12:04, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
