Merge

Mittal Steel should not be merged into the article ArcelorMittal for the following reasons:

Untitled

1. Arcelor has not been merged into ArcelorMittal's article. 2. MittalSteel was a past entity, and it's accomplishments cannot be combined with those of ArcelorMittal's 3. MittalSteel had a different set of directors and executives than ArcelorMittal EVil-Aer (talk) 22:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I have the same view i.e that Mittal Steel should not be merged into Arcelor Mittal as technically , legally and culturally they are different companies. Even if mittal steel does not exist anymore it does provide a useful antitheses for students and knowledge mongers alike to know what the older company was all about .

Neither Arcelor nor Mittal Steel should be merged here, as they existed as independent companies long before the merger. ArcelorMittal history satrted with the public offering of Mittal Steel for the shares of Arcelor. L1964 (talk) 21:24, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

clarification of place

"Its industrial presence in Europe, Asia, Africa and America" - which 'America'? The US of America? 'The Americas'? North America?

The first three are continents, so I assume that 'America' is meant to be as well, but you need to specifies which continent or else pluralize it to read 'the Americas'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.65.36 (talk) 16:44, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

America vs Americas ArcelorMittal is present in South, Middle and North America so it should be Americas L1964 (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Pollution from Arcelor Mittal steel plants

"Shouldnt there be a section on the pollution caused by the steel plants owned and operated by Arcelor Mittal, the various action groups and the steps taken by the steel company to rectify the situation? There was a documentary on ITV1, UK yesterday, 03/Oct/2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stillspringwater (talk • contribs) 09:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I also think, there should be link to the related video implemented to the area "Critism" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDbDCf4OWfg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.179.215.98 (talk) 08:03, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

ArcelorMittal companies

The list of those companies is wrong to my eyes, as many of the enumerated companies have been absorbed long before by the preceding companies Mittal Steel and Arcelor. I even saw some Arbed companies. I suggest, that all the companies absorbed before the merger should be included to the corresponding pages of the initial companies, preserving the history of the companies. So ArcelorMittal is composed of Arcelor and Mittal Steel and all companies that joined the group after the merger. L1964 (talk) 21:30, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Accuracy

How much of this unreferenced article is actually right? For example it lists Thy-Marcinelle and Forges de la Providence as predecessors -yet I don't see any evidence for this - both appear to be owned by completely differenct companies.

It also claimes that arcelor attmepted to merge with Nippon Steel, POSCO, Gerdau, Evraz, Severstal and the steel making operations of ThyssenKrupp - where's the evidence?

It also claimes to have industrial presence in Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America - doesn't mention anything about South America or Africa anywhere else. It's not clear that it has any presence in east asia either - india is not the same as 'asia'.Oranjblud (talk) 20:44, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Not notable

Sorry - but this isn't notable within the scale of the article - perhaps it could be placed elsewhere ?

ArcelorMittal is the current owner of what once was the Mark Manufacturing Company in East Chicago. Marktown, Clayton Mark's planned worker community, was built to house the workers for the Mark Manufacturing Company.

Incomplete etc

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=ArcelorMittal&diff=516146155&oldid=515751335

As factual accuracy had gone out of the window (see sections above) it is probably a good idea to apply WP:VERIFY strictly here.

The "history" and company structure sections are incomplete - lacking things include:

Locations of operations, and links to relavent articles
Full company history including acquisitions and sales.

Note - this article doesn't need a history of Arcelor OR Mittal Steel - there are separate articles for both.Oranjblud (talk) 13:33, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Take over

Is Arcelor Mittal an excellent target for take over by internationale partners and the economic outlook and Arcelor Mittal opportunities and current valuation? Excellent upside opportunities for doubling shareprices in short timeframe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.122.12.78 (talk) 21:13, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
