[edit] Parodies of it

Gilliam satirized it in Episode 37 of Monty Python's Flying Circus in an animation. It was Securicor Ambulances, Ltd.

[edit] "Focus on" Groups

These "focus on" groups are repeatedly cited as a source, but personally I don't believe that they really conform to NPOV standards that we have come to expect from wiki sources. Their website really is quite misleading and obviously had an agenda. Most of its articles only source is their own.

I also find it odd we are using sources from an SEIU sponsored website for G4S, as it is established they have an ongoing conflict citing one's webpage hardly seems a Neutral source?

If noone objects il remove all this stuff in a few days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamieHughes (talkcontribs) 23:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:G4s.jpg

Image:G4s.jpg 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 11:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History Section

I think the History section needs a re-write, it essentially comprises a couple of points about Group 4 (not G4S) and the minor 02 thing. I think it would be a good idea to give a full history of both branches (Group 4 and Securicor) around what is already there? If noone wants to do anything il do it at the weekend. - Jamie —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamieHughes (talkcontribs) 13:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
