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

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 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)

Edit Needed

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."

Follow-up on Edit

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."

Thank you. Laurettashokler (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

  Edit request partially implemented  

1. 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.
2. 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

Subsidiary Name Change

I have a COI since I work for Globe Life

In the Subsidiaries section of this page, the Family Heritage Insurance Company of American, McKinney, Texas entry is out of date.

Family Heritage is now named Globe Life Family Heritage Division. (Here is a link to our Timeline Post about it: https://www.globelifefamilyheritage.com/About/History#tl2019 and the updated website: https://www.globelifefamilyheritage.com/.)

That subsidiary has always been located in Cleveland, OH. (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Globe+Life+Family+Heritage+Division/@41.3193955,-81.6470387,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x72c1fe331b91dfef!8m2!3d41.3193955!4d-81.64485)

Laurettashokler (talk) 17:55, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

​Name updated. I left out the location as I thought it wasn't necessarily relevant and is only visible in some mailing locations. – Thjarkur (talk) 00:09, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

​Thank you for making the update. This works just fine. Laurettashokler (talk) 14:23, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Update Company Website

In the Globe Life infobox, please update the website link to point to https://home.globelifeinsurance.com. This is our new company-wide website as of today.

Thank you,

Laurettashokler (talk) 17:02, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

There is already a redirect in place from the base second level domain to that third level domain, so the current URL works and will keep on working when you update your site next time. Seems fine to keep it as is. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:12, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

The Infobox information for the following needs to be updated, so I am requesting the following change: The year still shows 2018 instead of 2022.

@Raana Rauf Do the figures need to be changed as well or just the date? Please advise. Regards,  Spintendo  04:31, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. Figures look good. Just the year from 2018 to 2022.

Regards, Raana Rauf (talk) 15:20, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. Figures look good but change the year from 2018 to 2022. Also the number of employees and the citation link for number of employees is wrong. Please change the number of employees to 3,222 and the citation link for it is https://investors.globelifeinsurance.com/about-globe-life Raana Rauf (talk) 15:26, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Edit to History Section of the Globe Life page

I have a COI since I work for Globe Life

Please change this text: “On April 11, 2024, Globe Life's share price experienced its biggest single-day decline, falling by 53.14% from $104.93 to $49.17.[14] This came after Fuzzy Panda Research, which had taken a short position on the company, alleged that Globe Life committed numerous instances of insurance fraud, allegations which Globe Life rejected. [15]”

To this updated text: “On April 11, 2024, Globe Life's share price experienced its biggest single-day decline, falling by 53.14% from $104.93 to $49.17.[14] This came after Fuzzy Panda Research, which had taken a short position on the company, alleged that Globe Life committed numerous instances of insurance fraud, allegations which Globe Life rejected. [15] On August 29th, 2024, the share price regained its value and closed at $104.98."

Laurettashokler (talk) 03:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

@Laurettashokler:, I looked at the request but prior to determining inclusion (or removal of the first portion already there), I have a couple questions as I would like to clean up the history to more of a prose entry. Is there anything on the company website showing a timeline? The history section is confusion when it states "TMK" and then other companies. Need to determine who acquired who and under which name so I can look for sources and write something more accurate and less confusing. Prior to doing the research on my own, do you know of any in-depth relible sources that talk about the history of the company? Anything that has a lot of information and can be used to cite the history section would be helpful. You can ping me here if you are able to provide the answers. I want to tackle that prior to addressing NPOV issues (which it looks like there are some on the page currently). --CNMall41 (talk) 22:37, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

CNMall41 (talk) 22:37, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@CNMall41:,

I could not find any 3rd party sources that have a lot of detail on our name change and previous acquisitions, but I am providing links to 4 pages of our consumer and investor website pages that might be helpful:

1. https://home.globelifeinsurance.com/about#history (Has a timeline of the company and its acquisitions)

2. https://investors.globelifeinsurance.com/about-globe-life (Lists the subsidiaries of Globe Life)

3. https://investors.globelifeinsurance.com/news-releases (Includes press releases that we issue related to the Globe Life stock and major company changes.

4. This press specific release was issued when Torchmark switched to Globe Life Inc in August 2019: https://investors.globelifeinsurance.com/news-releases/2019/august/torchmark-corporation-has-officially-been-renamed-globe-life-inc)

If there is a specific topic you would like me to look for resources about, just let me know.

Thank you, Laurettashokler (talk) 01:39, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

 Done with additional recent news added. See edit history. STEMinfo (talk) 23:47, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
