Talk:Chase Young

Birth place

A better citation for birthplace is needed. The source only says, "Young, from Upper Marlboro, Md.," not that he was born there. The current text is,

Chase Young was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland on April 14, 1999.

@Pemilligan: The NFL.com bio in the infobox says he was born in Upper Marlboro as well. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

I added another source, since we should be using published sources over bio/school pages when possible. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 23:34, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

@Dissident93: Sorry, I accidentally made my change over yours, though I notice that yours says, "He grew up in Upper Marlboro," which is also not the same as saying where he was born. -- Pemilligan (talk) 23:49, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Pemilligan, I replaced it with an article that directly states "born", although this is really just an issue of semantics. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 23:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

WCAC Championship

The article states that Young won the 2016 state championship with DeMatha. However, DeMatha does not compete for state championships but instead won the WCAC championship in 2016. Both cited sources are incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:4401:19A0:60A4:AC9D:F0BA:8DDF (talk) 20:43, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Then back it up with a correct source. Everybody can whine about problems, but until they have solutions, they don't get fixed. Willsome429 (say hey or see my edits!) 20:53, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Here's a link to the DeMatha page saying they play in the WCAC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeMatha_Catholic_High_School and here's a link to the WCAC page saying that DeMatha won in 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Catholic_Athletic_Conference. And this is a link to DeMatha's website saying they won the WCAC title in 2016: https://www.dematha.org/athletics/teams/team-page/~athletics-team-id/300 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:4401:19A0:1C9B:A156:E7BA:5C21 (talk) 23:31, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Per WP:CIRCULAR, you cannot cite Wikipedia in other pages. Plus, I navigated to the DeMatha page provided and it says nothing about a WCAC title in 2016. In fact, it makes no mention of the WCAC at all. If you could provide an article that says that DeMatha does not compete for state championships but rather specifically the WCAC championship, preferably in the context of the '16 championship, that would be great. Thank you. Willsome429 (say hey or see my edits!) 01:27, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Here's a link to WaPo's 2016 DeMatha football page showing that they only played for the WCAC title: https://www.washingtonpost.com/allmetsports/2016-fall/dematha/football/ and here is the WaPo article about winning the 2016 title: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/highschools/dematha-rallies-late-to-stun-st-johns-for-fourth-straight-wcac-title/2016/11/19/058d6064-ae21-11e6-977a-1030f822fc35_story.html. Here's a WaPo article laying out the MPSSAA 4A, 3A, 2A, and 1A state championship matchups in Maryland for 2016, it does not include DeMatha: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/recruiting-insider/wp/2016/11/27/american-athletic-conference-football-championship-pushes-back-maryland-state-title-games/. Here's an article saying St Francis won the MIAA A Conference in 2016: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/wp/2019/01/28/feature/baltimores-st-frances-academy-has-a-football-team-so-good-no-one-in-its-league-will-play-it/. Here's an article saying who was the 2016 MIAA B Conference and C Conference champions (Pallotti and St John's Catholic Prep, respectively): https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/highschools/pallotti-caps-a-breakthrough-season-with-the-miaa-c-conference-football-championship/2016/11/14/78f6bc84-aa7b-11e6-a31b-4b6397e625d0_story.html. That is all the Maryland state championships in 2016. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:4401:19A0:28AC:C73E:A33C:EEFA (talk) 14:47, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Chase Young/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Bait30 (talk · contribs) 18:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

I'll take a crack at reviewing this some time this week. I'll review prose first going down the page by section, then do images, then do references last.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 18:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Lead

• "a feat considered rare for a defensive player": I would reword this per WP:WEASEL. You mention later that he's only the ninth defensive Heisman nominee, so you could just say "a rare/uncommon feat for a defensive player"

 Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 17:24, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Bait30, is "a rare honor for a defensive player" fine? If honor still sounds too weasel-y, then feat should still be fine. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:11, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Early life

• Looks good to me.

College career

• statistics table: I think it would be better to have the sportsref page be linked as a reference rather than as an external link. For example, at the bottom of the table, you can add

|- ! colspan="9" |Source: <ref></ref>

 Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 17:37, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Bait30, instead of another column I just cited it at the end of "Career", which is how most player articles have it anyway, including GAs. I can still add to the table if requested though. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:12, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Professional career

• "best overall prospect in it": The "in it" part is kinda redundant. I think removing it would make the sentence more clear and concise.
• statistics table: same as above. if you're like me and get very confused when it comes to wikitables, the visual editor is pretty helpful.
  • Agreed and adjusted. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:12, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Personal life

• seems good to me.

 Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 17:41, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Images

• images are good and relevant, and all copyright and licensing related stuff is there.

Reference numbers based on this version

• 18, 24: try to find a different source or remove if there is already another source that can be used. SB Nation blogs are not considered reliable sources.
• 41: Eleven is misspelled.

Bait30, both citations were replaced and the typo fixed. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:13, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Overall

Dissident93, you addressed all my points, so I'm gonna go ahead and pass this.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 22:05, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Infobox awards

I made a post on WT:NFL for more visibility, so comments are welcome there. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 20:42, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Player Traded

He's been traded to SF 192.231.0.23 (talk) 18:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Okay I just put in the information about him being traded and what for why is the 2024 nfl draft a template there is a page Eddie1666666 (talk) 19:52, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Actually no, since the trade is unofficial at this time. Feel free to add once it is official, but not for now. Tails Wx 20:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

The trade is official now. Alielmi1207 (talk) 22:53, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Player Number

Why was the player number removed? Alielmi1207 (talk) 00:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Maybe they don't know if he's wearing #99 with the 49ers. If he is, it can be put back. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:31, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

UPDATE - Young should be getting a new number soon. Javon Kinlaw currently wears #99 for the 49ers. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:35, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

It is #92. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:03, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Career high in sacks explained

Regarding the career statistics chart, the reason Young's sack totals are in bold for 2023, is because he accumulated 7.5 sacks while playing for two teams. He had 5.0 with Washington and 2.5 with San Francisco. That's the only way to credit him for tying his 2020 total. No bold --- no credit. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
