  • I removed the double link on L'Oreal, are you satisfied? - Jerryseinfeld 22:35, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • To clarify, please place external links such as SNY in External Links section.
  • Also, please do not make double link, such as Paris and France in History section. They have been linked in the introduction already.

Stockholders

The information provided about Stockholders is excellent! I'm just linking the common terms to their proper accounting terms. No intent to discredit the original contributor! --JM Robert 23:55, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

Vandalism?

This was pretty funny, 80.177.155.23 writes "Deleted "and Europe's #1 pharma company" - GSK is both European-headquartered and bigger both by revenues & market capitalisation" then JM Robert writes "Rv to JM Robert edit. Vandalism by 80.177.155.23". In reality the company is europe's 3rd largest, and the worlds ?th largest. - Jerryseinfeld 03:09, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

December, 2004 (revenue from fiscal year 2003)

  • Sanofi-Aventis
    • Revenue: 10118.00 M
    • Market cap: 55.65B
  • GlaxoSmithKline
    • Revenue: 38238.00 M
    • Market cap: 127.23B
  • AstraZeneca
    • Revenue: 18849.00 M
    • Market cap: 68.19B
  • Pfizer
    • Revenue: 45188.00 M
    • Market cap: 210.04B
    • "Perhaps it's counting only certain revenues". That sounds probable in that case. But what revenues? Just drugs? The "pharmaceutical companies" category has all the drug companies from both Major Drugs and Biotechnology & Drugs. In the Biotech category it's number two by market cap behind Amgen. - Jerryseinfeld 15:09, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I realize I'm joining in late here, but I can't figure out how Johnson & Johnson is smaller than Sanofi-Aventis. J&J is obviously a more spread out company, but according to the List of pharmaceutical companies page here at Wikipedia, pretty much all spending and revenues from their pharm. branch place them higher than Aventis, and obviously J&J is a far bigger company with all things considered. I don't know if this applies to other pharmaceutical companies, but still... in every form I can think of, this places Johnson & Johnson ahead of Sanofi-Aventis, along with Pfizer and GlaxoSmithkline. - David DIBattiste 04:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the header to call Sanofi-Aventis a company among the largest pharm companies in the world. All the data I see for this argument that supported placing them in a position is two years out of date or more, and I can find no information supporting them holding that position, if they ever did, now. I don't doubt that they are large, hence leaving in the statement, but the way it is worded now is much less contestable and much more likely to remain the case - which is probably important for an article that may not be read often such as this one.

I.G. Farben Succession

I know that the company refers to the company's sucession to I.G. Farben, but I thinkt is of encyclopaedic information to note the war crimes that I.G. Farben commetted during the N.S.D.A.P. control of Germany, then linking to the main article of I.G. Farben, for the rest of the story of I.G. Farben.

Fair use rationale for Image:SanofiAventisLogo.gif

Image:SanofiAventisLogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the company (trivia)

I'd like to point that the proper name of the company I work in is sanofi-aventis, without capitalisation.
This is something that most people do not know, even many of my fellow co-workers, and assume that, as names are usually capitalized, sanofi-aventis' name is also.
Sadly, I did not keep the communiqué in which the "sanofi-aventis" name was officially announced, so I cannot provide with the official reference.
Also, the name of the comany that merged with Aventis was Sanofi~Synthélabo. Notice the line separating the name in half: it is a curved line, not a striaght one.

sanofi-aventis is used uniformly across the group's website. I'm proposing the article be moved. Gr1st 14:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
