Talk:American Family Insurance

message: Whoever the sock was that made the edit I just reverted may be confusing AmFam with AFLAC or some other company.  By far and away the core business of AmFam is Private Passenger Auto insurance (Personal Lines) - this makes up well over half of the companies annual revenue as based on the last corporate report (2006). Personal Property (home) is second, and all other lines are a distant third.  To the untrained eye - the amount of "life insurance in force" as stated in the corporate reports exceed the revenue anmounts by a factor of 2 - but that is just a benchmark used to compare life insurance companies, and has very little to do with actual revenue gained by selling life insurance policies.  I notice that the sock is registered to southern bell in texas - AmFam does not sell any insurance in texas, and it's likely they are confusing AmFam with someone else.

thread_title:  Main emphasis note that was removed 

message: Dear  24.209.134.25, it should be noted that this is an encyclopedia, not a collection of blog entries, and the edits you have made in the criticisim section are not supported by anything other than heresay on websites that either a) don't control the postings they make, or b) have a vested interest (insuranceusa.com) in selling competing insurance against American Family.  These are not reliable sources per the wikipedia guidelines of Reliable Sources.  I'm going to leave them in for now, but don't be surprised if they are removed by myself or someone else at a later date.  
As for now, I'm simply marking your edit with a [Template:Unreliablesources] notation. Timmccloud 23:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: If a page like this is here to provide neutral, valuable information, and dozens of you have written here, why is the AM Best rating information not included.  I went to Best and got it.  How long will it last?  The elephant in the living room now is any potential effect of the financial crisis on AmFam.  Anybody care to provide solid info about that?  Is AmFam better off than AIG?    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.230.17.54 (talk) 17:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Welcome again AmFam IPSock! The AM Best rating information for AmFam is behind a password protected page on the AM Best website, if you know of a public area on that website, or a neutral website with that information such as a newspaper, etc as per WP:VERIFY, please feel free to restore your edit with references.  Please look at the article to see how references are done, and/or I urge you to learn more about wikipedia markup. As far as the AmFam vs. AIG thing is concerned, you are really talking about current events, not encyclopedic content.  We have a sister website - wikinews where that type of topical, current day information is very much welcomed. It might comfort you to know that AmFam's top executives recently had a briefing on this subject, and 85% or more of their equity is in government backed bonds, so they are not exposed to AIG like problems as a result.  Until this information becomes posted publicly on verifiable, neutral forum however, it doesn't belong in the article. Finally, please sign your edits on the talk pages with ~~~~.  Thanks!

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The listed citation is only for John Legend.  4 other ambassadors are listed here, without any evidence or references.  This will be hard to do without using Primary Sources, but if it can be done, it should be done.  And since these are living persons, we must be extremely careful in our citations and references to them.  If it can't be done, this section should have the list removed, or eliminated entirely.
