Talk:Élan

message: I don't think this should have Natalizumab merged into it, unless we also put all the drugs Élan are known to make on the page. Otherwise, individual drugs should have their own pages. Notcarlos 18:18, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

message: :Image:Elan.png 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 Wikipedia articles 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 05:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Elan.png

message: The company's name is incorrect - the word "Elan" no longer has an accent over the "E". The correct name is Elan Corporation Public Limited Company, or Elan Corporation plc in the more commonly used shorter version. To verify this, see the Irish Companies Registration Office website, http://www.cro.ie,  and search for company number 30356. See also http://www.elan.com/company/default.asp - scroll down to "Key Facts". 
The company's logo still incorporates an acute accent over the "E", but they appear to have made the change to the company's official name from "Élan..." to "Elan..." sometime in the mid-2000s. The earliest Annual Report and 20-F filing available on the company's web site (for 2005) both use the name "Elan", but some news stories from 2002/2003 which I found through Google used "Élan", suggesting that this was the previous name. 
As well as correcting the name of the company, the name of the article would also need to be changed to "Elan". I don't know how to change the name of a WP article and automatically adjust all the links pointing to it, so maybe a WP editor could make the changes.

thread_title:  Company Name 

message: This article seems like it is missing huge gaps of information that would otherwise explain what happened to it... How did it go from a multibillion dollar firm to essentially dissolving itself? Aside from the scandal that tripped it up a number of years ago, the article says it rebuilt itself and then for some unbeknownst reason totally imploded. Did it sell itself in pieces? Why did that happen? How did that happen? You cannot tell what occurred from this article as it now stands... Stevenmitchell (talk) 21:16, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
