Scholarship, charity, etc.
editBuzzfeed (whatever) has more details on Dr Pepsi, including that she sponsors a scholarship for first-gen African-American students. Kingsif (talk) 17:56, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- Added the scholarship to the article. Thanks! Benny White (talk) 21:07, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Benny White: Can you expand or reword that to explain what a first-gen African-American student is? When I see the term, I think it means a direct child of an immigrant to a country, but I don't think that's what it's supposed to mean. I suspect it refers to students who are the first in their immediate families to have attended or completed college but I'd like someone who is more familiar with the term to make the actual edit to the article.

- Also, note that I didn't see "African-American students" in the sources I cited, so I didn't end up specifying that in the article edit. (Might be in other sources.) Benny White (talk) 20:09, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
COI concerns
editThis page reads if it was written by someone extremely close to the subject, with excessive and personal detail being presented in many cases (such as the early life section), Which would be a violation of WP:COI. The work requires rewriting by someone with no COI with the subject discussed.Zinderboff(talk) 16:40, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Zinderboff, there are 3 editors who have contributed 85% of the text of the article [1]. Do you have specific examples of edits that show a conflict of interest? I do not see anything in the "Early life" section that would suggest a COI. – notwally (talk) 18:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Notwally I reviewed the article and sources again, and I recognise now that my concerns were unfounded. While the level of detail about the person's early life seemed excessive to me, it upon further review accurately reflects the information in the cited sources. I will now remove the COI template. Sorry for the waste of time. Zinderboff(talk) 19:22, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
