[edit] Why Cleanup?
Thought the cleanup tag was unnecessary, so got rid of it - and created this talk page! Petesmiles 01:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I think it should be cleaned up, definitely. It is just one enormous slodge of information broken up into more than a dozen paragraphs. 63.100.44.98 19:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] icecontact.com
This appears to be linkspam. The site has no official backing that I can see and is a commercial enterprise charging for its services (contrast donor cards etc. which are free). - Just zis Guy, you know? 09:23, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Broken Links
The Vodafone ICE link is broken. I have been unable to find the page on their new site so perhaps someone with a Vodafone contract could help? J Darnley 17:59, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Source?
I don't think that this was "started" by someone in 2005. I got an email about this sometime during 2004. I think it should be removed unless someone can cite it.
[edit] Useless
Emergency personel such as paramedics or "first responders" would NEVER take the time on a scene to call an untrained person who's ONLY answers to our questions would be, "what happened?", "is s/he ok", "where is he". That is, if we could even get the person to identify which of the many people that might have you listed as an ICE contact we actually have on our gurney. This is an immensly stupid idea and not something that would be useful. It is MUCH more useful to carry personally identifying documents or if you MUST use your cell phone for this set the front screen to be "This phone belongs to:". It won't help paramedics but it MIGHT help Emergency Room personell. If you want to do something to help paramedics, wear soemthing with your name on it and/or medic alert jewlery... these are the ONLY things we will look for and/or use. This entry should be removed. It is advertising for a commercial enterprise that is a supremely misdirected and bad idea to begin with and the result of email spam. The ICE contact is NOT useful to paramedics and this is a great example of fear induced marketting.
[edit] Article title change
I think the article title should be In Case of Emergency, because - I understand - that is the 'official' naming policy of the ICE creators. ThijsN 09:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 1ICE or ICE1
I've heard from french sources, to add contacts as "ICE1" "ICE2", and so on ; the deutsch article describe it this way. But not the others (or did i misunderstood?) , as they say 1ICE, 2ICE and so on.
Was this program explained diffently in different countries ? But it would be a bit surprising. Does anyone got the thing ?
