Change "Kris" to "Chris"

It makes no sense to refer to "Chris" and "Kris" that is the wrong spelling. 185.58.55.148 (talk) 17:11, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

changed name as far as i know --FMSky (talk) 17:14, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When? 185.58.55.148 (talk) 17:22, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@185.58.55.148 Reasonably recently, but it happened. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9_20kflptY, and for more info just Google Kris Tyson or Chris Tyson. Kris is correct. Strugglehouse (talk) 19:18, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Strugglehouse, I am curious if "house" in your name means a content house Graywalls (talk) 20:53, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comma

Under personal life, in the sentence about the Titan submersible, there is a mistaken comma. The comma after the word Titan should be removed as the subsequent phrase/clause do not form a full sentence. The new sentence should be- In June 2023, Donaldson stated that he was invited to go on a tourist expedition to view the wreck of the Titanic in the OceanGate submersible Titan but declined the offer.

Request Edit on most viewed MrBeast video

The article says that MrBeast's 456,000 dollar squid game video is his most viewed when it is actually "Would you fly to Paris for a baguette?" But the page is semi-protected so I can't change it. 68.101.233.30 (talk) 21:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've clarified that its his most viewed video that is not a short. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 00:40, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you change 189 million to 191 million, MrBeast's channel is now at that much subs 92.40.204.36 (talk) 05:46, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 05:51, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kris Tyson paragraph

So considering there is currently a culture war over transgender people's existence, and numerous conservative channels have called Mr Beast "woke," I believe the public image section should include the previously deleted paragraph about Kris's coming out. Especially since the main article regarding her was merged into this one. ~Cassandria (talk) 03:11, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A few errors under "Philanthropy"

I spotted the following errors under the section "Philanthropy":

Plants vs. Zombies is referred to as a company. It is not. Plants vs. Zombies is a franchise owned primarily by PopCap.
"On September 17, 2020, the YouTube channel Beast Philanthropy was created" is passive voice. It should read, "On September 17, 2020, Donaldson created the YouTube channel Beast Philanthropy".

I also believe it would be best to include the section about Kris coming out. People come to Wikipedia for information, and by excluding it, we undermine that.

Change MrBeast Picture to More Recent Image

The picture of Jimmy on this page is old and he looks very different now in November. Can we change header image to this photo taken much more recently that reflects how he actually looks: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MrBeast_2023.png VoiceOfRaisin (talk) 21:05, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In Jimmy's (MrBeast) latest video he was signed for 48 hours for the NFL Team known as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This makes him a current (or former) NFL player. By his contract he was a player for 48 hours so this needs to be added. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdjh81uH6FU BambiFuzzball2023 (talk) 18:28, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
