The IAAF source (which is used for proof that she participated at the Olympics) names her as Smith-Walsh so I've given the article this name. Sionk (talk) 11:52, 31 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Bear in mind large chunks of text are being copy-pasted from http://waterfordireland.tripod.com/susan_smith.htm into the article, or copied with very minor changes in wording. This is firstly creating a copyright violation (the Waterford website clearly has a copyright notice) and secondly leads to a non-neutral, non-encyclopedic form of wording. I've removed two large chunks of text today by 'new' editor Montrose1867. Sionk (talk) 20:06, 5 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
