British!?! For heaven sakes! My Scottish-born grandmother would slap the face of anyone who called her "British". Carol Smillie is NOT British - she is SCOTTISH!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.106.21.181 (talk • contribs) 13:18, 28 October 2005.

That doesn't excuse the fact that whoever wrote this article in the first place incorrectly identified her as "British".

Carol was never actually a member of Mensa, she was just listed on their website as having a high IQ. Unfortunately, the "reliable source" referenced has got it wrong, so I suppose under Wikipedia rules the untruth trumps the truth... but I thought I'd put the actual fact on the talk page for the benefit of anyone looking for it. -- 88.110.153.182 (talk) 10:05, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-10-19T10:05:00.000Z","author":"88.110.153.182","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-88.110.153.182-2008-10-19T10:05:00.000Z-Mensa","replies":[]}}-->
