First name spelling[edit]

Only one source out of the six provided in this article appends an "e" to her first name. It would appear that her name is Carol and that one Swiss source got it wrong. Your thoughts? 2600:8800:1880:C359:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 15:24, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Her Twitter account https://twitter.com/metch11 also spells it "Carol". So I'm moving the article. Art LaPella (talk) 16:45, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And the face on that Twitter account matches https://twitter.com/irish_umpires/status/639159017961582592?lang=en which confirms it's the same person. Art LaPella (talk) 17:48, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
