Talk:FM Global

Fireproeng has deleted the following section I wrote

	FM Global saw considerable growth after the events of September 11, 2001 due to the signing of a re-insurance agreement shortly before the terrorist attacks. Shortly afterwards, re-insurance rates increased greatly. Competitors without such favorable contracts were unable to provide as much insurance as they could not afford the higher re-insurance rates. As insurance premiums in the industry increased drastically, FM Global's market share increased significantly.

I feel this is important as it explains why FM Global gained so much market share in this time. The only reason I could see for deleting it is that Fireproeng may be an FM Global employee. If there is another reason, I would appreciate hearing it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2jerry2222 (talk • contribs).,

Lack of source. Fireproeng 13:40, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, one reason for success of failure of a large company is almost always a simplification. In this case, a source is needed to suppport this claim - but even if a resinsurance treaty had been just signed, attributing substantial growth to that event would need a source. Lacking a response within 3 days, I will revert. Per Wikipedia guidleines, please do not revert a change without stated cause. Fireproeng 23:11, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

You are obviously aware that a favorable reinsurance treaty had been signed. Since nothing in the rest of this page is sourced, I don't see it as being especially necessary in this single case. Most of the text in this entry comes from FM Global, hardly an objective source. I agree that it should not say that the favorable treaty was the only reason for the fast expansion (I believe doubling of premiums in force). I will change it to say it was due in part to this treaty. However, the conditions of this treaty influenced FM Global's market share, so it would be a disservice to delete this section entirely. How would you propose sourcing something that may not be publicly documented? Where would it be if published if it is publicly documented? 2jerry2222 15:12, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I am not aware of this, but that's not the point. If a source cannot be cited, it should not be included in this encylopedia. Please reference Wikipedia:Verifiability. I also agree that much of this article needs sourcing. However, non-controversial historical facts are typically sourced as a lower priority than opinions or conclusions that are contemporary with possible alternate interpretations.

Fair use rationale for Image:Fm global logo.png

Image:Fm global logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Strife among editors of FM Global

For what it's worth, I offer the following link:

• http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/f.php?pagetitle=FM+Global

This page tells us the anonymous edits run by which organisation on this page. I would also suggest that in the case of edits seemingly coming from a private ISP, to watch the town from which these edits were made, which were the same as the hometown as the FM Global headquarters :-) --Achim 20:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

FM Global Insurance's Corportate Headquarters is located in Johnston, RI, not Harrisville, RI. 03:50, 17 November 2007 99.129.102.46

Case-in-point: Rhode Island is not like the State of Texas (Rhode Island is quite small....). So what's your point, and why do you find it necessary to hide, when you've already been found out? Are you THAT embarrassed by your edits?--Achim (talk) 03:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

History channel reference?

FM Global was featured on a History Channel Program. History's Business. Aired Dec-16-07. Is there a correct way, or even a need to reference this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cube lurker (talk • contribs) 01:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
