Please change this: his work of over 340 videos has over 270,000,000 views and over 5.4 million subscribers as of September 2014.[6][7]

To this: his work of over 350 videos has over 290,000,000 views and…close to 5.8 million subscribers as of November 2014. ^[2]

The original information is out of date.

Please change this: According to SocialBlade's Channel rating system, as of February 2014, Oakley's YouTube channel holds a grade A, with a subscriber rank of 90th, a video rank at 1,412th with a personal SocialBlade rating of 151st.[7]

To this: SocialBlade, a website that rates YouTube and Instagram accounts, rates Oakley’s channel at an ‘A’ with a subscriber rank of 80, a video view rank of 841 and a SocialBlade rank of 223, as of November 2014. ^[3]

Because the previous information is out of date.

Please Add:

Tyler Oakley will begin touring on December 8th, 2014. It begins in New York and as of November 14th, 2014 he has 7 shows scheduled on the East coast, but notes that more will be announced soon. ^[4]

The website says “Tyler is packing up his living room and hitting the road for his first-ever live tour! Tyler Oakley’s Slumber Party is a one-of-a-kind live experience packed full of behind-the-scenes stories, interactive games – and lots of surprises! VIP ticket holders get an up close and personal meet and greet with everyone’s YouTube bestie. Get ready to be slayed!” ^[5], ^[6]

Hey, this might sound a bit silly, but could you please change "He is also known for his appearance in that he regularly has brightly-colored hair.[2]" to 'He is also known for his appearance of brightly-colored hair and the reeling fact that his arm was bitten by the cannibal, Shia LaBeouf' because it would be an absolute honor for Tyler as he mentioned, "...it would be a great line in my wikipedia, and in his!", in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eSrztmvLTY&t=517

Thank you so much,

I believe, for many LGBT YouTubers, especially those who have found fame or increase fame through a coming out video, being an LGBT YouTuber is a defining characteristic, just like the Gay politicians or Gay writers category. However, a user has nominated the category LGBT YouTubers for deletion. [see the discussion here] AusLondonder (talk) 09:25, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seen a few editors add this as Tyler's first name. Does anyone know where this is coming from? – Zumoarirodoka_(talk)^(email) 02:10, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Would love to link "Prizeo" to the new Prizeo wikipedia page by adding two square brackets either side of it ;) thanks! Jellybean2786 (talk) 16:32, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Done + cut the description as people can now look it up - Arjayay (talk) 16:38, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if there is a source for this yet but in Oakley's book Binge (released today) he reveals his first name is actually Matthew. His full name is Matthew Tyler Oakley. You can see the proof here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CRyJDJLWcAAraTw.jpg but I believe we have to wait for a source to post about his real name. Andise1 (talk) 20:25, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is comes from his book, Binge. It is spelled Mathew with one T. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blakebonk (talk • contribs) 20:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mathew Tyler Oakley is tylers full name. Source, Tylers book. 2A02:C7D:5D3E:8500:E072:16EB:50AE:BE5E (talk) 21:25, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Already done The lead already lists his full birth name. -- ferret (talk) 16:54, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tyler confirmed in his book, Binge, that his birth name is Mathew Tyler Oakley but that he has gone by Tyler in public for most of his life.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Blakebonk (talk • contribs) 20:21, 21 October 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

Should we add something about Oakley endorsing Bernie Sanders for President? I mean we have info about him singing Christmas Carols with 1D and Jerry Springer. Some of Sanders' endorsements articles such as Ronda Rousey have this information. Just curious. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 00:29, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I accidentally deleted some of the information in Tyler's info box while trying to look at the code to use on another page. I believe I undid the changes, but if there are any problems I'm very sorry and I promise that it was not intentional or malicious. Kmwebber (talk) 02:45, 8 September 2016 (UTC)Kmwebber[reply]

Is being gay in public what we are calling "activism" now? It seems odd to me that Tyler is being described as an "activist" when I've yet to see anything from him that would truly qualify as activism. Raising money for the Trevor Project isn't "activism," it's philanthropy. Are there any examples of when Tyler used his fame and position to ask his followers to take a stand on a political issue or went and made a speech or got arrested in support of a political objective? If not, I'd suggest taking "activist" out of how he is described. Viciouslies (talk) 05:23, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any source for him being 5'0, I met him and he was about 5'5 but I know my personal experience isn't a citable source. It seems like somebody just made that up? The video linked as the source does not show him saying he's 5'0. Sorry if I'm doing this wrong, I've never edited a page I just noticed this error! 64.53.146.230 (talk) 03:25, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
