Paid editing
[edit]The article appears to have been created by an employee of the company. SmartSE (talk) 10:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- To spell it out, since User:SmartSE didn't, the creating user (User:Ahmadassaf) appears (based on the username Ahmadassaf) to be the same person as the Ahmad Assaf who, according to https://uk.linkedin.com/in/ahmadassaf, works for Beamery. He appears to be a dev, though, not a marketing person, and to have done the edits at night, so it seems more likely that he did this of his own volition rather than being directed to do so as part of his job. The paid editing banner seems wrong to me; this seems like a case of an undisclosed COI but very unlikely to be one of outright paid editing.
- FWIW, my own COI disclosure: I used to know the Saidovs & Paterson (& Slava) and worked from the same garage as them in the early days of Seed Jobs (now Beamery) a decade ago. I also did a tiny bit of work for them, during my workday, as part of bartering of favours between them and my own employer. ExplodingCabbage (talk) 07:33, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
