Any suggestions on how to improve this page? Jaimejones87 ( talk) 15:00, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Editors should work on this page to remove the self-glorification. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis ( talk) 21:19, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
What exactly about this page is self-glorification? It's all facts and numbers. Could you please clarify? (Also, I have never used a talk page before, so if i posted this incorrectly I apologize!) Sincerely, Driftme ( talk) 21:21, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Should somebody possibly include a section describing exactly how AIL (Altig Intl. specifically) is a Multi-level-marketing corporation? Their whole business model should be presented (recruitment, start up fees, scripts, pay schedule)... not just their sales and brief history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.237.112 ( talk) 00:28, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
I have added the COI tag after
User:MarkWriter objected to another editor's changes to this page, in this edit
[1] stating:-
This is clearly a self-confessed WP:COI situation, and an attempt to WP:OWN the article. Arjayay ( talk) 17:52, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Why can't we just delete this page (and the company's other pages, all edited by User:MarkWriter and redirect to the Torchmark page? AIL is just an affiliate and a LOT of the same information is posted on several of their subsidiary pages (First United American Income, United American Income, American Income Life, National Income Life, and Globe Life). It's redundant and just created to help with their SEO initiative. Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a marketing tool. Christie.betchface ( talk) 16:44, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Why is there no mention on this page that this company is a MLM company? Centerone ( talk) 15:42, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

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 The Infobox information for Key People is out of date, so I am requesting the following change:
