A B.S. in history from UVA? According to their site, they don't give those out; something seems wrong. Twilightrook (talk)Twilightrook —Preceding undated comment added 14:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He's given the designation of being an 'Armenian American' but has as much German ancestry as he does Armenian. Typically, when Americans are known as another ethnicity in addition to being American on Wikipedia, they are exclusively of that background i.e. certain Italian American, Jewish American or African American people might be known as that on their Wikipedia page if they are exclusively of one of the aforementioned ancestries. If they are not, as in Ohanian's case, they should not have this ethnic 'precursor' in front of 'American'.

Net Worth number source is not credible - should be removed

The reported net worth comes from metro.co.uk, a site that has no specialty in evaluating or reporting financial figures. A quick glance will see that the article is a thrown-together light summary piece written for SEO. There are no citations given for the net worth figures it purports. Further, the article states that Serena Williams is worth $27 million, which if you believe Forbes, is actually how much money she MADE last year. Not her net worth. A superstar athlete like Serena surely has a net worth of more than $27 million. Likely in the hundreds of millions. That's how un-credible metro.co.uk is as a source. I propose that the net worth of Alex be removed.

David Dobrik donate profits/other speakers

@RoseGold1250: RoseGold1250 reverted my edits mentioning that Alexis had said he would donate any profits from the investment in David Dobrik's app Dispo to charity. Considering that it was in a NY Times article it is most certainly DUE. I also deleted the other speakers at the commencement address as they are not relevant to the article at hand. SarahFoxtrot1983 (talk) 17:39, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article states the statement came from Seven Seven Six's Twitter account, not from Alexis so it should not be quoted to him. Also, the content you added claims more than just that which is also not supported by the article. Given Wikipedia takes WP:BLP violations seriously, I have reverted your changes.
