I am updating the information on the page. Several of the offices have moved. Jaimejones87 (talk) 16:52, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

COI tag

I have added the COI tag after User:MarkWriter objected to another editor's changes to pages relating to Torchmark Corporation subsidiaries, in this edit [1] stating:-

Each of our Companies are trademarked, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Torchmark Corporation. These pages were written by English-degreed Company employees for adherence to our Company Style Guide and brand consistency, and have been approved by our legal team. If further edit warring occurs, we will block you from editing our Wikipedia pages.

This is clearly a self-confessed WP:COI situation, and an attempt to WP:OWN these articles. Arjayay (talk) 15:09, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I have a COI and need an edit made. Torchmark's subsidiary, First United American Life Insurance Company, recently changed its name to Globe Life Insurance Company of New York. The page for GLNY has been updated and now we need this page to be updated as well. Subsidiaries: Please change "First United American Life Insurance Company" to "Globe Life Insurance Company of New York". History: Please add, "In 2017, First United American Life Insurance Company recently changed its name to Globe Life Insurance Company of New York."^[1]

I have a COI and wanted to open the discussion about the previous edit requested by Corey Jones on 1/30/17. We would happy to provide any additional information that might be needed to update the subsidiary section if we can. Please just let me know what is needed.

In the Subsidiaries Section:

Update "First United American Life Insurance Company" to "Globe Life Insurance Company of New York".

Note: The new subsidiary page on Wikipedia has already been updated with the new name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_Life_Insurance_Company_of_New_York and this First United American link links to it. The Torchmark subsidiaries page has also been updated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Torchmark_Corporation_Subsidiaries with the new name, so we are just hoping to make the information consistent and less confusing on this page.

In addition, I located another Torchmark subsidiary Wikipedia page that can be added to this section:

National Income Life Insurance Company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Income_Life_Insurance_Company, Rochester, New York https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester,_New_York

In the History Section:

Please add, "In 2017, First United American Life Insurance Company changed its name to Globe Life Insurance Company of New York."^[2]

Edit request partially implemented

Y Wiki-Links to articles whose titles have changed were given these new titles but the Wiki-Links themselves were not altered, per WP:NOTBROKEN.
N As the title for First United American has been changed to Global Life (and there is no longer anything in the article described as First United American) a description of this change later on the prose would be needlessly confusing.

Additional changes made:

Duplicate Wiki-Links were omitted per MOS:OVERLINK, WP:LINKCRISIS
