[edit] Listing
I think ICI is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Anyone know? W2ch00 16:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
ICI has now delisted from NYSE See http://www.ici.com/main/cms/cmRender.asp?i=2074 81.151.151.71 20:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
ICI is the birthplace of SAP —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.239.183.254 (talk) 22:24, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
About SAP. I was told by a ICI systems analyst that I trust that SAP began as a system written for ICI in Oestringen. I do know that it fairly quickly spread throughout ICI and that this clearly gave SAP a boost in its early days. Clearly they then went out and sold it more and more widely.

This article doesn't tell us much about the first 60 years of a great company. I joined ICI in 1970 and around then a three volume history of the company was produced. If someone could get hold of that, it would provide a good starting point for a more fitting article. Budhen 20:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ICI.png
Image:ICI.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Works Record System
I see this is marked as requiring references- does anybody have any?
There used to be a separate "Shared Spreadsheet" article but for some reason it was deleted in its entirety, I believe the text here is the only mention of it on Wp. MarkMLl (talk) 09:57, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- See extensive discussion of this topic under Talk:Spreadsheet. There were a couple of AfD issues as well. In a nutshell, the problem was that (like many interesting in-house systems) this one apparently didn't get described in the sort of publications needed to establish WP:notability. There were also differences of opinion about the subject matter. At any rate, I'm not aware of any WRS sources that were ever cited. Trevor Hanson (talk) 05:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Main Sites
Under the heading of main sites, you mention one (Billingham). However there is no metion of the ICI Wilton site, which is just as historically significant and could even be larger than Billlingham. Then there was the ICI Runcorn site where Prof Colin Ramshaw developed the HiGEE reactor concept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.203.7.152 (talk) 20:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
