message: A component of Assurant, Assurant Solutions, is headquartered in Miami, Florida. With 1800 employees in Miami-Dade county, it is a major employer. Assurant Solutions was formed from various companies including American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida (founded in Miami in 1947). For this reason Assurant was added to Miami Wikiproject.

message: I've noticed that there has been frequent vandalism on the Assurant Wikipedia page. For those who are watching this page, as I am, I'm sure we would all appreciate it when the vandalism is reverted immediately. I have gone ahead to revert the vandalism by 74.72.206.220. If vandalism continues to recur on a regular basis, shall we consider requesting semi-protection on this article?  Your input and ideas are appreciated. Thank you!

message: Does anyone have availability to update the Board of Directors and the financial data in the info box?  Here's the link to the Annual Report   --MsGingerHoneycutt (talk) 23:25, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Additionally, the "Corporate Governance" section is outdated. David B. Kelso is no longer on the board of directors, and Elyse Douglas and Jean-Paul L. Montupet have since joined, per Assurant's leadership page. FacultiesIntact (talk) 22:18, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no reason why anyone in the general public would be interested in the board of directors--it is not encyclopedic information, and the appropriate thingto do is to remove it as over-detail. I've done that. Insistence on adding inappropriate detail is promotional, as only those closely connected with the company would wish to include it. There is an excellent place for it: the firm's website. The building name change is easy enough and I have done that.  DGG ( talk ) 01:19, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your contributions DGG. Do you, or does anyone else have any ideas as to what else in the article could be changed to bring it up to a high enough standard to remove the advert banner?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 02:16, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

text: *, how would you feel about removing the "Corporate Governance" section? It seems redundant now that it's only one line and repeats information found in the infobox in the lede.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 00:43, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Content Addition 

message: Would anyone here be interested in helping translate this article into French and/or Spanish? There aren't versions available in either languague. I have some knowledge of the two, but if there are any native or fluent speakers, I could really use the help.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 23:39, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation 

message: This section could benefit from a chronological reorganization. I think it would read much better if the cases were presented in order of occurrence, and followed immediately by their respective rulings. Additionally, the section and its title feel less relevant now that Assurant Health has been divested. A line should be added to clarify the current state of ownership (much like the reference to Assurant being formerly known as Fortis).  Would "Criticism and court rulings" be a more fitting section header? It's more neutral and relevant without absolving Assurant of what happened while they were still controlling Assurant Health.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 19:24, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have drafted an updated version in my sandbox here. I renamed the section "Court Rulings" and re-ordered it chronologically. I also updated the lead to reflect that Assurant now only has two business units, as well as the history section with new references and more detail about the sales of AEB and Assurant health. Comments and feedback are welcome.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 03:46, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: . With the title, I feel the current title is still accurate. However I changed it to mention that it is Assurant Health that was involved, not the whole of Assurant. Stickee (talk) 23:07, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

text: "The handwritten chart note identified Mitchell correctly as eighteen years old, but was erroneously dated May 14, 2001...A Fortis investigator reviewed the records and discovered the erroneously-dated intake note in Dr. Chandler’s files.  That information was then forwarded to Fortis Senior Underwriter Kate Stephens (“Stephens”) for review.  Stephens completed a “referral summary” for the rescission committee and recommended that Mitchell’s policy be rescinded on the grounds that he had misrepresented his HIV positive status.  Stephens’s summary referenced the handwritten notation on the intake form as the sole foundation for her recommendation."
By no means am I suggesting that Assurant did not act in bad faith here; I agree with the court opinion. But I don't think there was an automated program. The quoted text above suggests the opposite, that an actual person reviewed the case, and as such, I think the language describing the automatic fraud investigation should be removed. Can anyone weigh in on this?  any thoughts?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 23:58, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

message: The financial data in the infobox is now out of date, and Assurant has filed their 10-K with all the relevant info. I updated the figures in my sandbox and linked the 10-K. Would someone mind taking a look and updating the article?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 00:16, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updating financial figures in the infobox 

message: Since selling off Assurant Health and Assurant Employee Benefits, Assurant as a company operates rather differently now. I've updated copy about their three operating segments in the lead, history, and operations segments in my sandbox, as well as made a few other updates including their current Fortune 500 ranking, and fixing the last of the history section to better clarify the timeline of events. Can someone take a look at it for veracity and neutrality?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 17:06, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
