Birth place?

The intro to the article says he is a "Vallejo, California native," but in his infobox it says his birth place is Fulton County, Kentucky. So which is it? Lbr123 (talk) 21:28, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How come a guy with the same first middle and last name of him and same Wikipedia birthday was born in Riverside County? https://www.californiabirthindex.org/birth/joseph_christian_chestnut_born_1983_15749026 2600:1010:B056:A73A:60A2:C176:5EDA:2298 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:15, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

numerical variations

page states the man's weight is 230 lbs and 100 kilograms, that conversion is inaccurate. 2.22lbs == 1 kG. 172.58.139.83 (talk) 20:47, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
