message: For some reason the band "Flying Cunts of Chaos" redirects to this page.  The band members are listed as 'members' in the infobox (even though this is an *artist* infobox).  There is also a list of members in its own section.  These should all probably be moved to their own page. -- PsyberS (talk) 12:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

message: "While in college, Serj maintained a 4.0 grade average." Does anyone have any more information about this? As in, where did he go, when did he graduate, etc.? I've looked for it online but can't find it.. --DanielNuyu 00:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I find a source where Serj claimed to have received a 4.0 in high school and throughout most of college.  http://board.serjtankian.com/index.php?showtopic=1476&st=0&start=0
What kind of student were you back in High School? I'm guessing you we're the quiet kid, since I read you had a 4.0 GPA. We're you ever in any sports teams?
Played basketball a bit but not for the school just with friends. Yes, I was a 4.0 honor student throughout high school and most of college.

Until This can be properly cited I am removing any reference to his mother being a muslim or him being a muslim this is how rumors get started--KingVegeta2000 18:59 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Very well, I have allied myself with KingVegeta2000 and we will take out facts of his religion, whether thats Islam, Christianity or whatever religion until it is proplerly sourced since someones religion is personal and its not nice to spread rumours about it. --Enter the chicken

thread_title:  Instrumental skills in LEAD sentences

message: Here are some statemets from Tankian's article, which remain unsourced a long-time: If you have reliable references, you can re-add the into article with citing sources:   
* Serj has lots of furniture from IKEA which he thinks is a great place with low prices 
* He has a female Siberian Husky named Bowie after the artist, because its eyes have different colours.
* Serj is a vegetarian

replies: text: Just an aside. Please only add sourced material that is relevant, notable, and flows in the article. What pets one has doesn't seem of encylopediatic. Anyways, thanks for moving that stuff to here Armatura. --Tom 15:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I have a magazine somewhere stating Serj has a husky, but I don't remember if it tells her name. As for being a vegetarian, I saw that on a PETA site when there was a vote for sexiest vegetarian in the world (he should have won!). I don't know the exact locations, but I know that I've seen those before.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.70.134 (talk) 07:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I can also confirm that his dog is a Siberian Huskie called Bowie, because of the different coloured eyes, was written in a music magazine. It's typical that i threw out my old magazines recently...
*He is a vegetarian, as in a previously mentioned source (citing his 4.0 grade average) it also confims he is a vegetarian as he says (along the lines of..) My body type is different that i dont need meat or something along those lines.
*It wouldn't suprise me if his furniture is mostly Ikea. Its good quality. ;)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Capt. Sexington (talk • contribs) 16:52, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi. I noticed that someone repeatedly changes Serj's surname from Թանգյան with Թանգեան. Pls don't do this whithout citing a source. Unless you've got a reliable source which proves this version of his Armenian sripted name, I'm going to revert to Թանգյան (it corresponds to official Armenian orthography and is much more popular in internet then Թանգեան).

text: I believe you would be best to leave it as "Beethoven's C***" as it is on the official track listing.  If you don't, well let's see... original research anyone?  It could stand for a multitude of things, we have no references stating that it stands for "cock," only the official album, which says "C***..."

message: The article says he has the highest vocal range in all of popular music and cites this source:
http://www.vintagevinylnews.com/2014/05/digging-deeper-axl-rose-is-not-singer.html
The source itself says there are 24 singers with a wider vocal range than Serj. This should be removed from the article entirely.
Furthermore the "source" uses an internet forum that is no longer active as it's source. Many of the placements seem wrong and Jeff Buckley's for instance contradicts better sources. I suspect they aren't accounting for large gaps between head and chest voice, control, or are straight up just making stuff up. It's a bad source and all related information should be removed.
