Novarro began his film career in 1917
This start date is one year late. AFI records Novarro in the 1916 film "Joan the Woman."
Full reasoning
AFI's Catalog of Feature Films identifies Joan the Woman as a 1916 release and notes that Ramon Samaniegos, who later become Ramon Novarro, is listed as playing a starving peasant. That means Novarro had already appeared in a released film in 1916, so the statement that he began his film career in 1917 is inaccurate.

the Samuel-Novarro House, is one of the more renowned designs (1927) by Lloyd Wright
The Samuel-Novarro Residence is dated to 1928, not 1927, by the Los Angeles Conservancy.
Full reasoning
The Los Angeles Conservancy's page for the Samuel-Novarro Residence gives the property's Year as 1928 and says it was "designed by master architect Lloyd Wright ... in 1928." That directly contradicts the article's 1927 date for the Lloyd Wright design.

He began his career in American silent films in 1917
His film career was already underway in 1916. AFI credits him in the 1916 release "Joan the Woman," so 1917 is a year too late.
Full reasoning
The American Film Institute's Catalog lists Joan the Woman as a 1916 film with a release date of December 25, 1916. In the film's history notes, AFI states that "Ramon Samaniegos, who later become Ramon Novarro, is listed as playing a starving peasant". Because AFI documents a 1916 screen appearance for Novarro, saying he began his film career in 1917 is incorrect.
