AstraZeneca
Hi - As was clearly explained by User:UKHinduMan, AstraZeneca is no longer a partially Swedish company due to the fact that both incorporation and global headquarters being present in the UK. If you have a different view then you should take it to the talk page rather that edit-waring. Dormskirk (talk) 20:16, 22 September 2020 (UTC) Hi - he has his points, but I think these matters should be consistent between different language editions of Wikipedia. I can't see any of the other versions describing AstraZeneca solely as British. Instead, it varies between "multinational" and "British-Swedish" so this should be used here as well. Moreover, Fiat Chrysler is described as American Italian, which is reasonable since it was formed by merging a U.S and an Italian company, not as Dutch-British even though the HQ is in Amsterdam and London. Refer also to ABB Group. /--85.226.251.114 (talk) 18:05, 23 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I agree that the different language editions of Wikipedia should be the same but as the primary article on AstraZeneca is in English the other language editions will be simply be following the mistake in the English language Wikipedia edition. If both incorporation and global headquarters are present in the UK, then it must be a British company. Dormskirk (talk) 18:10, 23 September 2020 (UTC)


 * The geographical location of the HQ is not really relevant for the nationality of the firm. Moving the HQ is done for several reasons, most often due to tax incentives. Merging a UK and Swedish firm makes a "British-Swedish" company per defintion. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to explain Fiat Chrysler, for instance. Now, it is not even consistent within the English-language Wikipedia, let alone comapred to other wikis. /--85.226.251.114 (talk) 18:38, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
