COI edit request: factual corrections and updates

Latest comment: 2 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Brett Fraser. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 676 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

COI disclosure: I am Brett Fraser, the subject of this article. I am not editing directly and am requesting these changes for review by an uninvolved editor. Sources are given for each item.

1. Lead — event description is inaccurate

Current: "He competed in the 200 m backstroke."

Proposed: "He represented the Cayman Islands at three Summer Olympics and won gold in the 200 m freestyle at the 2011 Pan American Games."

Rationale: The backstroke reference describes only the 2008 Games. The Pan American gold, the 2012 semifinal swims, and the 2020 appearance were all freestyle, and the infobox already lists freestyle as his stroke. Naming backstroke as his event in the lead misrepresents the career.

Sources: Olympedia athlete profile (already an external link on this article); 2011 Pan American Games results (existing ref 6).

2. Career section — two of three Olympic appearances are missing

The article currently describes only London 2012. Proposed addition before that paragraph:

"Fraser made his Olympic debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed in the men's 200 m backstroke, recording 2:01.17 in the heats."

Proposed addition after the 2014 Commonwealth Games paragraph:

"At the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Fraser competed in the men's 50 m freestyle, finishing third in his heat in 22.46 seconds and ranking 34th of 73 competitors."

Sources: Olympedia athlete profile; "Cayman's Brett Fraser to swim 50m in Tokyo early tomorrow morning", Loop Cayman Islands, 29 July 2021; "Brett Fraser takes second in Olympic 50m free heat", Cayman Compass, 30 July 2021.

3. Stale employment detail

Current: "In a 2021 interview he worked at the brokerage Compass, Inc."

Proposed: remove. It is superseded by the ONE Sotheby's affiliation described in the preceding sentence and adds nothing to the biography.

4. Typographical corrections

- "Fras has also worked" → "Fraser has also worked"

- "decrieing the lack of encouragement" → "decrying the lack of encouragement"
