I am the real Ivan Lee. I do not wish to have certain information about me posted on Wikipedia. Leeivanj1 (talk) 00:44, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is my explanation. Please do not put the information I removed back up. Thank you. Leeivanj1 (talk) 00:46, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You do not own the Wikipedia article Ivan Lee. If the information is cited and not undue, then it is considered appropriate content. ... discospinster _talk 00:49, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ivan Lee is the FIRST man of African American descent to win a world title in Fencing. He is not the second. He won his world title in 2001. No African American man won a world fencing title before 2001. He is the second African American man to medal at a world championships. The first was Terrence Lasker, who won bronze at the 1994 Cadet World Championships. Lee won bronze at the 1998 Cadet World Championships and then won gold at the 2001 Junior World Championships.
