The official records of the 1992 Olympics (referenced in the article) give his name as Richard James Mayhew. Sports-reference.com got this wrong and also appeared to have erred in giving his nickname as Dick, several print sources including interviews with him give his nickname as Rick not Dick; see , and for examples.

Dick Mayhew → Rick Mayhew – The current name of this article appears to be based on which is demonstrably wrong (see section above). No RS gives his name as Dick. Nthep (talk) 14:12, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
