I believe the Research Center should not be listed under the "Sponsorships" heading. State Farm does not "sponsor" the Research Center in the same manner in which it sponsors the three other items listed -- which are all 3 sporting events. Work done at the Research Center is done for the insurance/financial services business and those interns are employees of State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. Any thoughts?

Most of the citations of this article are from statefarm.com ... Statefarm article has citations from statefarms.com and that is neutral? are you kidding me?!!! I'm escalating the article and may even recommend it's removal if better, more neutral and dependable citations are not presented. This is far from wikipedia standard. We CANNOT let wikipedia be used as a mouthpiece for some corporation! If you want to do that, you have have to get me banned! Amartya ray2001 ( talk) 10:37, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
I don't have to prove the website is lying or what not! A statefarm article CANNOT be based on citations from statefarm.com. As long as better cations are absent, the article does not deserve to be on wikipedia. We need to delete the article, find better citations, and then post it back in!

Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in reliable, published sources are covered; see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. The word "source" as used on Wikipedia has three related meanings: the piece of work itself (the article, paper, document, book), the creator of the work (for example, the writer), and the publisher of the work (for example, The New York Times or Cambridge University Press). All three can affect reliability. Reliable sources may therefore be published materials with a reliable publication process; they may be authors who are regarded as authoritative in relation to the subject in question; or they may be both. How reliable a source is, and the basis of its reliability, depends on the context. As a general rule, the more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing, the more reliable the publication. Sources should directly support the information as it is presented in an article, and should be appropriate to the claims made. If a topic has no reliable sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.
In the context of State Farm Insurance, statefarm.com is not a reliable source... I'm re-establishing the {{COI}} template thus! Amartya ray2001 ( talk) 12:05, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
It's been a decade since the Expert tag was added, and recent contributions have been sourced outside of statefarm.com, so I'm going to remove the tag. JoLuMo ( talk) 21:47, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
I think that there are least two State Farm buildings that are notable enough architecturally to probably have their own page.
I'm going to do what I can to dig up some sources on these buildings and start a couple articles. I'll also be attempting to get them into DYK once they're ready.
If anyone has anything to contribute please do.

This article states that the bribe was in the amount of $50K but the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Scruggs says $40K. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.178.165.185 ( talk) 03:28, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
>This commercial structure is from State Farm's "Get to a Better State" campaign that premiered in June 2011, with an increased spending budget.
Is there any information on why, 3.5 years later, they are still running four of the original five (?) commercials (the "French" model ad hasn't been aired for well over a year)? I'm curious as to why they think this type of ad campaign has been so effective for them and I think this should be included in the entry. Does anyone know?

State Farm Insurance → State Farm – As of January 1, 2012, the official name for the business is State Farm, not State Farm Insurance. "Insurance" was removed from the official name that day. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:91C0:B17C:7195:720C ( talk) 17:01, 4 June 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa ( talk) 16:21, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
I think we have rough consensus above that this company is not the primary topic of state farm (with a small "f"), currently a DAB. Thanks to those who participated in this side discussion. It doesn't affect the main RM result, but it was important to discuss it once it was raised, as the suggestion might otherwise have been seen as unopposed by the RM closer. Instead it is now settled in the negative IMO. Andrewa ( talk) 07:08, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Just a heads up, this article was linked to from a popular reddit post.

Really confusing and generally bad to have the infobox for an extant company start out with "Fate" and "Successor" blurbs, based on the sale of a portion of the business. 174.115.100.93 ( talk) 12:07, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Snake Farm Insurance and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 March 25#Snake Farm Insurance until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
