Overall:
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

"honour" or "honor"? Decide which one. Suggest using Canadian English throughout.--Tomcat (7) 20:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would "honorary" have to be "honourary?" If not, then resolved. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 22:03, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
