I have rated this article a stub for the WikiProject Finance because it is entirely lacking in references and needs more detail... looks close to being a start though. --Aka042 (talk) 01:10, 25 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

We've adequately addressed some of the issues on the page by adding new references and updating information. How does the community feel about removing some or all of those flags/warnings? Thank you Michael Michael McCann6 (talk) 14:07, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to see a few more inline citations, especially for the sentences that currently lack one. For example, how do we know that Amica is the oldest mutual insurer of cars in the U.S.? Ideally, they should be from independent sources, i.e. reports that have no connection to Amica. Currently, the article only has two references, and one is to Amica's website.

Requested COI edit: Significant overhaul of outdated Amica Mutual Insurance article

edit

I am requesting review of a significant update to the Amica Mutual Insurance article. I have a disclosed conflict of interest: I work in content marketing for Amica Mutual Insurance, and I am not asking to make these edits myself. I am requesting that uninvolved Wikipedia editors review the proposed changes and decide what, if anything, should be added, revised, or rejected under Wikipedia’s policies on conflict of interest, neutral point of view, verifiability, reliable sourcing, and due weight.

The current article appears to be substantially outdated and has existing maintenance concerns around verification. I have prepared a proposed replacement/major overhaul draft titled that updates the article structure and content with cited information.

The proposed draft includes:

- Updated infobox information, including company type, industry, founding, headquarters, key people, services, assets, employees, and website.

- A revised overview describing Amica as a mutual insurance company headquartered in Lincoln, Rhode Island.

- Expanded history sections covering the founding in 1907, early operations, expansion, diversification, headquarters relocation, and modern developments.

- Updated sections on Amica’s mutual ownership model, subsidiaries, business model, geographic reach, service practices, products, technology, community involvement, industry affiliations, awards, customer feedback, and financial strength ratings.

- Updated citations from sources including AM Best, Associated Press, Consumer Reports, JD Power, Forbes, Money, Providence Business News, Insurance Information Institute, IIHS, Red Cross, WJAR/NBC 10, and Amica’s own materials where appropriate.

Because this is a large proposed rewrite and I have a COI, I understand that editors may prefer to review it section by section rather than adopt the draft wholesale. I would appreciate guidance on whether editors would prefer:

- A full proposed replacement draft posted here on the Talk page,

- A section-by-section edit request,

- A user sandbox draft for review, or

- A smaller first request focused only on correcting outdated or unsourced information.

My goal is to help improve the article’s accuracy, sourcing, neutrality, and completeness while following Wikipedia’s COI process. I welcome edits, objections, trimming, rewrites, or rejection of any language that appears promotional, insufficiently sourced, or undue.

Thank you. Mgauld (talk) 21:09, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
