Talk:Globe Life and Accident Insurance Company
The last line under "Company Reputation" is cited using a lawsuit from 2002. The line says, "The company received multiple bad reviews for deceptive marketing and for failing to pay claims." However, the lawsuit cited solely indicates Globe Life was fined $5,000 by the State of Oregon for not paying interest on some Oregon death claims. The cited lawsuit does not validate the claim of "deceptive marketing" or "failing to pay claims". If this line is to remain in the article, it should be properly cited with a source that validates its claims. Corey a jones (talk) 16:54, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
Per the discussion above, I have removed the line "The company received multiple bad reviews for deceptive marketing and for failing to pay claims." due to lack of relevant citation. Corey a jones (talk) 15:09, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- I reworded the lawsuit to include factual information from the PDF source and also updated the number of BBB closed complaints.DrkBlueXG (talk) 23:01, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Please change the company website URL for Globe Life And Accident Insurance Company from www.globeontheweb.com to www.globelifeinsurance.com. Both sites are currently active so the change can be made at any time. I am employed by Globe Life and, therefore, can't make the change myself but can verify that the www.globeontheweb.com website will be going away in the next few months. thanks Corey a jones (talk) 22:01, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, Laurettashokler (talk) 15:58, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
The tag above indicates that the change requests from January 10, 2019 were declined. I don't know if you can help me or not, but since you were the last to comment on this request, I am responding to see if it would be possible to get specific feedback on why the changes were declined. The goal of these edits is to provide more current stats, information, and citations for topics already covered on the page, but I am happy to make further adjustments if needed. I also want to keep this feedback in mind as I make other edits on the Wikipedia site.
Thank you,

I have a COI since I work for Globe Life, so I am submitting the following edit request through the Talk page instead. The Infobox information for Key People is incomplete, so I am requesting the following change:
Update Infobox Key People to “Bill E. Leavell, President and CEO” [1] Laurettashokler (talk) 17:00, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

- The source states that this individual is President and Chief Executive Officer of Globe Life Direct Response at Torchmark Corporation, which is differently worded than the title of the article, Globe Life and Accident Insurance Company.
- The source additionally states that he was President of Globe Life and Accident Insurance Company at Torchmark Corporation since November 2013 until December 2016 and was its Chief Executive Officer of Globe Life since January 2017." The use of the word "was" and "until" indicate states of employment other than that proposed by the COI editor. Please clarify with sources.

I see your point. So far, I haven't been able to identify another third-party resource that would clarify the naming conventions for the exact legal entities, so I am withdrawing this edit request at this time. Thank you for reviewing the request. Laurettashokler (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
