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)

 * 1) ✅ 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) ❌ 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.

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)

 * 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)

 * @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 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)
