“Russian” keeps getting removed

Why do the founders’ details keep having “Russian” removed? Is someone with a vested interest editing this? Needs to be addressed unless they’re somehow not Russian. Winditaround (talk) 16:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested removing the reference as a it's repetitive to what's been included in the history section. TheSoul Publishing also evolved from a brand called AdMe, which co-founders and former co-CEOs Pavel Radaev and Marat Mukhametov created. Therefore, not sure how relevant this information is in regards to TheSoul directly? ImogenClare93 (talk) 13:10, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested updates for TheSoul Publishing.

We appreciate the opportunity to discuss the entry with you and thank you for your ongoing diligence looking over TheSoul Publishing’s company page. We are writing about 2 relatively minor yet important matters:

In the opening section, there are two key areas in which we disagree with how the company is being presented. Specifically, relating to the founders of the company as well as the description of our content.

First, in the current version of TheSoul Publishing’s entry, there is an incorrect presentation of the founders. Matching the location of company headquarters and its founding location, TheSoul’s founders should more accurately be described as “Cyprus-based entrepreneurs” or simply have no ‘location based’ introduction label.

As the current presentation is inconsistent with the descriptions of some top companies on Wikipedia. Below are examples from Wikipedia relating to the founders of top global companies: Facebook: “Created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg…” Microsoft: “Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen…” Google: “Google was founded on September 4, 1998, by computer scientists Larry Page and Sergey Brin…” Toyota: “It (Toyota) was founded by Kiichiro Toyoda…” Buzzfeed: “BuzzFeed was founded in 2006 by Jonah Peretti and John S. Johnson III…” Walmart: The company was founded by brothers Sam and James "Bud" Walton Lego: “The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen (1891–1958)...” Disney: “Disney was founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney as Disney Brothers Studio…” Nestle: Nestlé was formed in 1905 by the merger of the "Anglo-Swiss Milk Company", which was established in 1866 by brothers George and Charles Page, and "Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé" founded in 1867 by Henri Nestlé. Amazon: “Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos…” Toyota: “It (Toyota) was founded by Kiichiro Toyoda…”

The second area we wish to discuss is the categorisation of the company’s content itself. Specifically this sentence: “....it focuses on light-hearted video content, most of which has been categorised as content farm material.”

The content farm description is the opinion of a single journalist and is unnecessary as TheSoul’s model does not match the description of a content farm. If you feel it must be included, it should be balanced with descriptions that have also been referenced and used more frequently to describe TheSoul’s content.

We recommend a more accurate, less editorialized introduction consistent with Wikipedia’s standards:

TheSoul Publishing is a global digital media publisher based in Limassol, Cyprus. Founded by Pavel Radaev and Marat Mukhametov (or “Founded by Cyprus-based entrepreneurs Pavel Radaev and Marat Mukhametov) in 2016, TheSoul's brands include popular YouTube channels such as 5-Minute Crafts (the 13th most-subscribed YouTube channel in the world as of April 2023), Bright Side, La La Life, Teen-Z, and 123 GO! TheSoul focuses on light-hearted video content that is easy to engage with, and has been described as entertaining, positive, and original content. (or simply, “TheSoul focuses on creating entertainment video content distributed across the leading social media platforms.) ImogenClare93 (talk) 09:00, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page is missing something

The page is missing something. The something that it is missing, is stuff about Thesoul Publishing's "metaverse" fictional singer, Polar (AKA a 10 dollar Hatsune Miku ripoff). TheSoul Publishing says that Polar is revelutionary, when in reality, Polar wanting to be a hologram performing IRL is something that Crypton Future Media's Hatsune Miku has been doing since 2009! And Polar even looks like a ripoff of Hatsune Miku! She even has the teal hair! Someone please add this to the page, and make Polar her own page with more info on her. (BTW most of Polar's YouTube subscribers and TikTok followers are probably bots made by TheSoul Publishing in an attempt to put her on the featured pages so other people will subscribe to/follow her LOL) Sleepyfellow03 (talk) 08:33, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LOL I just want Wikipedia to have info on her, please just put info on her, it doesn't need to be "She is a trash ripoff of Hatsune Miku, Miku is so much better" (even though I agree with that), it doesn't need to be hateful, just put facts about Polar so other people can see it Sleepyfellow03 (talk) 08:36, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
