Hello, my name is David Coulthurst. I am employed by Sentry Insurance. I intend to make revisions to Sentry’s article to improve it. I understand the need to make edits that adhere to Wikipedia’s neutrality standards, that are free of promotional language and unnecessary detail. Below are the first edits to the article I would like to make, replacing the current introductory sentence. I would greatly appreciate input from more experienced Wikipedia editors on my proposed edits.
Sentry Insurance is a mutual insurance company specializing in business insurance. The company’s home office is in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where about half the company’s approximately 4,500 employees are located. Sentry offers property and casualty insurance, workers' compensation, life insurance, and other business insurance, as well as non-insurance products like annuities and retirement programs. Sentry provides specialized insurance programs to customers in specific industries as well as very large companies with complex risk. [1] [2] [3]
Sentry is one of the nation’s largest mutual insurance companies. As of December 31, 2014, the company has assets of more than $14 billion and a policyholder surplus of over $4.1 billion. Sentry was rated rated A+ by A.M. Best, the insurance industry’s leading rating authority, as of 2015. In 2015, Sentry Insurance was ranked 799th on the Fortune 1000 list of companies.

I am planning to add a new section to the Sentry article, Litigation, where all relevant litigation-related matters can be cited. I welcome any feedback on this. Dacbeerpig ( talk) 14:30, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Greetings, I am planning to add a small Corporate Philanthropy section to the Sentry Insurance page. The company is quite active in its charitable giving; Sentry has raised millions for United Way in Wisconsin and given quite a bit of money to educational institutions and various nonprofits over the years. I have at least a half dozen good examples of its philanthropy, all well-supported by solid references.
I would like guidance from others on how many I should include in this section. Is it best practice to summarize the company's philanthropic activities and philosophy, and then support that with several examples? Feedback would be greatly appreciated, since I am employed by the company. Dacbeerpig ( talk) 13:16, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
HornColumbia, could you take a look at the new litigation section? I'd appreciate your feedback. Dacbeerpig ( talk) 18:22, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
I recently noticed a pair of edits in the logo section, each purportedly replacing incorrect information. From my position as an insider, I can clarify. There are elements of truth in both recent edits.
Sentry rebranded in 2016. A new Sentry word mark includes a symbol made up of two stylized single quote quotation marks paired up into a circle, reminiscent of the yin and yang symbol, representing two sides of a conversation. The negative space between the quote marks takes on the shape of an S (source).
Additionally, Sentry no longer uses “Strength, Protection and Vigilance” in marketing materials.
I’ve been reluctant to make updates on the rebranding subject because of my direct involvement in it. For the sake of accuracy--unless there’s an objection here in the next week or so--I will update the page with the content shown above. Dacbeerpig ( talk) 18:47, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
