User talk:Panamafever

Hey Cellbelle32,

I'm not sure how these "User Talk" pages work so I hope that my response here will reach you.

I looked briefly over the page again. It's been quite a while since I made my remarks, so it's hard to know what exactly has changed and what hasn't, but I would say that my overall impression is unchanged--the page still appears (to me) to be wholly self-serving and to rely on sources that are not an "arm's length" away from the website itself. I'm assuming there's a mechanism by which others can remove my flags, yes? If so, I would try that mechanism.

Hope that helps!

Hi Panamafever- I saw that you posted the following on the JustAnswer wikipedia page last year. The page has been edited since then and many references have been changed. Do you still think that the article reads like an advertisement? If not, perhaps the flag should be removed.

Thanks Cellbelle32

Your comments: I agree with othe editors that this most of this article reads like an advertisement, and as others have said, few if any of the references are reliable. For example, the washington post article cited (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/15/AR2008101503762_pf.html) seems in fact to be simply paraphrasing data given by JustAnswers CEO Andy Kurtzig. Here is the context of the reference: In the past month, traffic on the five-year-old advice site JustAnswer.com rose 14 percent. The site, which allows customers to pose a health question and "bid" $9 to $30 for a doctor's or a nurse's response, had nearly 400,000 page views in 30 days, said chief executive and founder Andy Kurtzig. Note that the article gives the 14% figure, then cites that "fact" to the Washington Post. While not entirely clear, a plausible explanation of the above two sentences is that the 14% figure was itself given to Washington Post by CEO Kurtzig.
