I've reverted the removal of the "British English" note here; she's making her career in the UK, and policy on English variation (WP:ENGVAR) is to follow the precedent set when the article was started unless there is a good reason to change it. Yngvadottir (talk) 03:32, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I removed it after I noticed the dates listed as her birthday and such were in the American format. I'll fix that after I'm done with the tables I'm creating now. ZappaOMati 03:35, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see now you actually created it, so I guess it's a hybrid! The use of "their" for an organisation was the only British usage I picked up on in your original version. Which version of English did you intend? Yngvadottir (talk) 03:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was originally going for the American spelling, since I know practically nothing about the difference between American and British dates, as well as because she's from San Diego, though eventually hesitated after seeing that she participated in British events (like the Lotus Cup UK), so to make it more clearer, I started off with the American format.
