[edit] Sandoz

This article says that Sandoz produces generics. I thought Sandoz became Novartis. SO Sandoz is still around under the name Sandoz? Jaberwocky6669 July 1, 2005 03:19 (UTC)

No, some time after the merger, Novartis relaunched their generics under the brandname "Sandoz". The Sandoz company before the merger and the Novartis Sandoz brand have totaly differend product ranges. (the generics from both merger companies) 81.221.97.181 03:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NOVARTISLOGO.png

Image:NOVARTISLOGO.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 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 04:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Huntingdon Life Sciences

Hello, I would like to add a section about Novartis and Huntingdon Life Sciences and the animal rights campaign, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty. Here is what I have so far: "Novartis has come under lots of fire because they are one of Huntingdon Life Science's biggest customers. Since 1999, Novartis offices have been vandalized and even firebombed. In addition, there have been lots of home pickets at Novartis executive’s homes, which still continue today."
