 * Pass/Fail:


 * "At tournaments where she was not competing, Schmirler sometimes worked as a commentator for CBC Sports, which popularized her nickname "Schmirler the Curler"[4]" - this should be also stated in the text below. Also not sure how notable is the fact that it rhymes.
 * The nickname and its origin is stated in the text, and her involvement with CBC is covered in the text. I'm not sure if there's a source for CBC's popularization of the nickname, but if there isn't any, it can be reworded. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 06:10, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Either use mdy dates or dmy dates. In footnotes you use dmy dates.
 * Resolved. Converted to mdy. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 21:59, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Is there any evidence that she is of German and Norwegian descent?
 * Not very sure, so I think we'll just remove those categories. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 02:17, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * "honour" or "honor"? Decide which one. Suggest using Canadian English throughout.--Tomcat (7) 20:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Would "honorary" have to be "honourary?" If not, then resolved. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 22:03, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
