Minnesota State Knowledge Bowl Meet

The Minnesota State Knowledge Bowl Meet is an annual, two-day academic quiz competition sponsored by the Minnesota Service Cooperatives, which is Minnesota's governing body of Knowledge Bowl. The State Meet is held in April at Cragun's Resort in Brainerd.

Format
The 48 teams that qualify for the Minnesota State Knowledge Bowl Meet are ordered by enrollment size and then are evenly divided, amongst three divisions with the larger 18 schools in Class AAA, and the smaller 30 schools split in between in Class A and Class AA. All schools from the Metro Region (Region XI) are automatically placed in Class AAA. While any school has the ability to play up a division, any non-public will play up a division from their class population school size.

The first day of the State Knowledge Bowl Meet begins in the evening with a banquet, at which all the teams are introduced. Following the banquet is the written round which consists of 60 questions. Once the written rounds are scored, the teams are ranked. In the event of a tie after the written round, certain questions will be used to break the tie. The state meet is "power-ranked," that is, teams are grouped together by their current standing as follows:

 * Room 1: #1-2-3
 * Room 2: #4-5-6
 * Room 3: #7-8-9
 * Room 4: #10-11-12
 * Room 5: #13-14-15
 * Room 6: #16-17-18
 * Room 7: #19-20-21
 * Room 8: #22-23-24

Teams are power ranked for five, 45-question oral rounds. At the end, the team with the highest total score is the State Champion. The top 3 teams receive trophies, and the top 6 teams receive medals. If there is a tie among the top 6 following the fifth and final oral round, it is broken by a 15-question "overtime." The Heritage Spirit Award is given to one team from each class that demonstrates a positive attitude and sportsmanship as voted on by the readers, computer operators, coaches, and other teams.

Historical format
In 2007, the State Tournament began using strength-of-scoring, or "SOS". After the last oral rounds, teams receive 1.5 extra points for each round they have competed in the top room, 1 extra point for each round in the second room, and 0.5 extra points for each round in the third room. This was done both to help break ties and to recognize that scoring points is harder in top rooms.

Prior to 2000, there was a "championship round," in which the top three teams (after five oral rounds) competed head-to-head to determine who would be champion.

Furthermore, the state meet was not split into two classes until 1996.

Regarding how the State Tournament ended up in the Brainerd resort area, former Metro ECSU Knowledge Bowl coordinator Marilyn McGowan says "It all hinges on a measles outbreak in Thief River Falls the year the tournament was to be held there and the state health department said we would have to cancel our plans to have it there. Thus, at the last minute, it was moved to Cragun's.  The original plan was to have each ECSU region host it with it being held throughout the state.  However, it worked so well holding it in a resort without the temptations of a city, that it has been held at a Brainerd lakes resort ever since the episode with the measles outbreak.  We have also been at Madden's and Breezy Point."

The 1984 tournament had five oral rounds like today's, but in 1986 and 1987 only four oral rounds were played (in addition to the written round and championship round). In 1991 and before, oral rounds consisted of 60 questions. In 1992 the change was made to 45 questions per round.

In 2013, only four oral rounds were used. Due to inclement weather across the state, the Friday schedule was moved back by a couple of hours to allow for late arrivals; the fifth oral round was eliminated to keep the meet more on schedule. This weather caused some schools to not be able to attend at all. Only 21 AA teams attended, instead of the usual 24.

State champions and runners-up
Blanks indicate incomplete records. A second score by a team name indicates score in championship round (through 1999) or score in tiebreaker round (2000 and after). * denotes meet was 4 oral rounds instead of 5 due to weather. ** denotes shortened, remote meet due to COVID protocols (40 question written round and 4 oral rounds of 35 questions).

Shin Dong-ok

Shin Dong-ok (Hangul: 신동옥; born 1977) is a South Korean poet.

Life
Shin Dong-ok was born in Goheung County, South Korea in 1977. He completed a PhD program in Korean literature at Hanyang University and is working as a lecturer. He made his literary debut in 2001 when he won a poetry contest run by the journal The Poetry and Anti-Poetry. His poetry collections include Akgong, Anakiseuteu gita (악공, 아나키스트 기타 Musician, Anarchist Guitar) (2008) and Utgo chumchugo yeoreumhara (웃고 춤추고 여름하라 Laugh, Dance, and Summer Away) (2012). In 2010, he received the 5th Yun Dongju Literature Award for Young Writers.

Writing
Poet Kang Jeong has described Shin Dong-ok as a “poet who uses a strange new language yet makes it flow effortlessly.” Shin’s poetry is usually dark and somber in tone, exploring themes such as death, extinction, despair, and incest. It provides introspection on human lives through motifs like drawing, singing, dancing, and other sensory activities. Shin’s first poetry collection, in which he adopts the persona of a musician, has been described by critic Yoo Jun as “having the echo of a string instrument. The echo represents solitude, pain, and the void.” His second poetry collection Utgo chumchugo yeoreumhara (웃고 춤추고 여름하라 Laugh, Dance, and Summer Away) reveals the poet’s desire to dance through language. He deconstructs the meaning and function of everyday language and attempts to create new meaning and poetic diction, which he does to expand perceptual horizons. In a commentary explaining why Shin was selected for the Nojak Literature Prize, poet Shin Yong-mok writes: “Above all, his pedantic and loquacious style has the power to make the reader glimpse a strange world hidden in between the lines. It is a curious phenomenon that occurs in the gap between matter and space, turmoil and silence.”

Statistics/Summary/Variance

Measure of Scale
When describing data it is helpful (and in some cases necessary) to determine the spread of a distribution. One way of measuring this spread is by calculating the variance or the standard deviation of the data.

In describing a complete population, the data represents all the elements of the population. As a measure of the "spread" in the population one wants to know a measure of the possible distances between the data and the population mean. There are several options to do so. One is to measure the average absolute value of the deviations. Another, called the variance, measures the average square of these deviations.

A clear distinction should be made between dealing with the population or with a sample from it. When dealing with the complete population the (population) variance is a constant, a parameter which helps to describe the population. When dealing with a sample from the population the (sample) variance is actually a random variable, whose value differs from sample to sample. Its value is only of interest as an estimate for the population variance.

Population variance and standard deviation
Let the population consist of the N elements x1,...,xN. The (population) mean is:

 * $$\mu = \frac 1N \sum_{i=1}^Nx_i$$.

The (population) variance σ2 is the average of the squared deviations from the mean or (xi - μ)2 - the square of the value's distance from the distribution's mean.

 * $$\sigma^2 = \frac 1N \sum_{i=1}^N (x_i - \mu)^2$$.

Because of the squaring the variance is not directly comparable with the mean and the data themselves. The square root of the variance is called the Standard Deviation σ. Note that σ is the root mean squared of differences between the data points and the average.

Sample variance and standard deviation
Let the sample consist of the n elements x1,...,xn, taken from the population. The (sample) mean is:

 * $$\bar{x} = \frac 1n \sum_{i=1}^nx_i$$.

The sample mean serves as an estimate for the population mean μ.

The (sample) variance s2 is a kind of average of the squared deviations from the (sample) mean:

 * $$s^2 = \frac 1{n-1} \sum_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar{x})^2$$.

Also for the sample we take the square root to obtain the (sample) standard deviation s

A common question at this point is "why do we square the numerator?" One answer is: to get rid of the negative signs. Numbers are going to fall above and below the mean and, since the variance is looking for distance, it would be counterproductive if those distances factored each other out.

Example
When rolling a fair die, the population consists of the 6 possible outcomes 1 to 6. A sample may consist instead of the outcomes of 1000 rolls of the die.

The population mean is:

 * $$\mu = \frac 16 (1+2+3+4+5+6) = 3.5$$,

and the population variance:

 * $$\sigma^2=\frac 16 \sum_{i=1}^n (i-3.5)^2=\frac 16(6.25+2.25+0.25+0.25+2.25+6.25)=\frac {35}{12} \approx 2.917$$

The population standard deviation is:
 * $$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac {35}{12}} \approx 1.708$$.

Notice how this standard deviation is somewhere in between the possible deviations.

So if we were working with one six-sided die: X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, then σ2 = 2.917. We will talk more about why this is different later on, but for the moment assume that you should use the equation for the sample variance unless you see something that would indicate otherwise.

Note that none of the above formulae are ideal when calculating the estimate and they all introduce rounding errors. Specialized statistical software packages use more complicated logarithms that take a second pass of the data in order to correct for these errors. Therefore, if it matters that your estimate of standard deviation is accurate, specialized software should be used. If you are using non-specialized software, such as some popular spreadsheet packages, you should find out how the software does the calculations and not just assume that a sophisticated algorithm has been implemented.

For Normal Distributions
The empirical rule states that approximately 68 percent of the data in a normally distributed dataset is contained within one standard deviation of the mean, approximately 95 percent of the data is contained within 2 standard deviations, and approximately 99.7 percent of the data falls within 3 standard deviations.

As an example, the verbal or math portion of the SAT has a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. This means that 68% of test-takers scored between 400 and 600, 95% of test takers scored between 300 and 700, and 99.7% of test-takers scored between 200 and 800 assuming a completely normal distribution (which isn't quite the case, but it makes a good approximation).

Robust Estimators
For a normal distribution the relationship between the standard deviation and the interquartile range is roughly: SD = IQR/1.35.

For data that are non-normal, the standard deviation can be a terrible estimator of scale. For example, in the presence of a single outlier, the standard deviation can grossly overestimate the variability of the data. The result is that confidence intervals are too wide and hypothesis tests lack power. In some (or most) fields, it is uncommon for data to be normally distributed and outliers are common.

One robust estimator of scale is the "average absolute deviation", or aad. As the name implies, the mean of the absolute deviations about some estimate of location is used. This method of estimation of scale has the advantage that the contribution of outliers is not squared, as it is in the standard deviation, and therefore outliers contribute less to the estimate. This method has the disadvantage that a single large outlier can completely overwhelm the estimate of scale and give a misleading description of the spread of the data.

Another robust estimator of scale is the "median absolute deviation", or mad. As the name implies, the estimate is calculated as the median of the absolute deviation from an estimate of location. Often, the median of the data is used as the estimate of location, but it is not necessary that this be so. Note that if the data are non-normal, the mean is unlikely to be a good estimate of location.

It is necessary to scale both of these estimators in order for them to be comparable with the standard deviation when the data are normally distributed. It is typical for the terms aad and mad to be used to refer to the scaled version. The unscaled versions are rarely used.

I rewrote most of the text in the article, and while I did not do additional research on the facts, I put it in a neutral point of view the best I could. And please do not take out swaths of material without discussing it here. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐁT₳LKᐃ  13:29, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry the biggest problem here is PoV and Synth, lack of criteria is also a problem, but it is foolish to pretend that a few superficial changes to the first para even begins to address the bigger issues. I've restored the main cleanup tags. Pincrete (talk) 13:49, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I edited all the text in the article, not just the first paragraph. Please list specific issues (or fix them yourself) so we can work to fix them. Just labeling this article as 'bad' does not help it improve. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador  ᐁT₳LKᐃ  13:51, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * The opening sentence refers to "Islamic terrorist activity in Europe increased notably starting in 2014". None of the sources appear to support that, they talk about the recent activity, but not an increase. A lot of the remaining text seeks to explain an 'increase' which is never established in the first place. Indeed the Madrid train + Moscow theatre + Beslan + 2005 London tube attacks would tend to prove the opposite, numerically a large fall in the number of casualties from attacks in Europe. I don't want my synth in, but neither the sources nor simple maths supports the proposition of any increase post-2014, the 'pushing' of which seems to be half the point of the article. Pincrete (talk) 14:06, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I think it's safe to say there has been an increased number. That being said I took out all mentions of an increase. Someone else added back the NPOV tag and I'm wondering why that is? I think that tag is being misused. Anyway, I think the intro is as neutral as it can get but feel free to do more. What else is there? ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador  ᐁT₳LKᐃ  14:45, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Safe to say according to what source, according to whom?. There seems to be a serious forgetting of domestic terrorism, in the UK, and Spain, as examples, from the 70's, 80's 90's and 2000's. Simply because of hysteria in the media and the bastardisation of the meaning of terrorism. Terrorism must have a political aim, and be for the furtherance of that aim. Most if not all of these acts do not fall in that category, even if they are called terrorism. These acts are mere criminal acts carried out by criminals. Murder is a crime, killing a lot of people is mass murder. Mass Murder does not equal terrorism; Harold Shipman was not a terrorist, for example. These acts of killings are nothing more than organised crime in the same way the Camorra operate. The Camorra are not labelled as terrorists, they are labeled as organised crime. These acts or no different to that. The IRA and UVF, or ETA have been a massive issues in the UK and Spain respectively, and as such forgetfulness is rife on this article. How things are portrayed in the media with the medias own bias (and other pressures both financial, and rating/readers) is not going to always be a true reflection of now or that this is not a true reflection of historical comparisons.

Please remove the entry for 2015 Ankara bombings from the table at Islamic terrorism in Europe (2014–present) (the entry tagged with ). While there is some disagreement about whether attacks in Istanbul should be included in the list, there seems to be clear consensus not to include attacks in the parts of Turkey that are unambiguously in Asia.

Synth and OR in text
The level of SYNTH, OR and misuse of sources in the text (as opposed to list entries), is diabolical:

1) France is a top-targeted country, with nineteen attacks occured between December 2014 and April 2017,[4] … … the source used lists 8 attacks, up to July 2016 (Normandy Church), the other 11 are OR. The source makes no mention of France being a 'top-targeted country'.

2) The next para blatantly misrepresents sources: Numbers of jihadists in Western Europe have increased rapidly in recent years. French authorities in 2016 revealed they were monitoring 15,000 "radical Islamists", of which 4,000 were deemed "highest risk of carrying out an attack".[12] The UK's MI5 in 2017 said they had 23,000 officially registered "jihadist extremists" in the country, of which there was only capacity to actively monitor 3,000 at any given time

In fact the Fr source says "French authorities are monitoring around 15,000 individuals who are suspected of being radical Islamists, according to local publication La Journal du Dimanche" So the real claim is not made by 'French authorities' but rather 'local publication La Journal du Dimanche' and even that fairly minor source does not say "radical Islamists", rather 'supects'. MI5 do not say there are "23,000 officially registered "jihadist extremists" in the country", it's the Times that invents that description. Other news outlets report 23,000 people on MI5's database, some of those of course are potential terrorists, most are almost certainly simply 'names acquired during investigations'. I cannot remember the exact descriptor used by MI5, it certainly isn't "officially registered "jihadist extremists" (wtf is an 'officially registered extremist'?). Belgian figures appear to me to be equally misrepresented as 'official' figures, when they appear to be sourced to a claim made by an individual minor publication.

Almost every sentence of the text reads as a personal editorial, based on PoV and highly selective mis-reading of sources. Pincrete (talk) 16:14, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I completely agree, and endorse the above comments, as a strong critique of a systemic problem with this article. The article needs a serious overhaul, and this is beginning from the change of the title from the absurd "Wave of Terror" to the information actually reflecting the content of the sources being used. More of this correction of the article and ensuring it conforms with Wikipedias Core Pillars is essential. Sport and politics (talk) 16:53, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Absolutely agreed - the article right now, outside of the list entries, is in serious violation of the WP:5. Even some of the list entries are dubious, with some editors intent on including material even with no or poor sourcing. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 13:29, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

 * For the record, no one was against re-writing the body, just from blanking sourced entries on the list against consensus. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador  ᐁT₳LKᐃ  13:37, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia is though against the adding of information without sources, and is against the adding of information which misuses sources, and is against the adding of information which bears no resemblance to the sources put next to the information. This article is one of the worst offenders for source misuse, lack of a source, or sources not reflecting the information presented and wrongly claimed to come from the source. The founder of Wikiepida could not have expressed the frustrations being felt here any better than he did here and he further goes on to say "crap is crap yank it". Sport and politics (talk) 16:28, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * There are a lot of articles that need work on WP, this is hardly the worst offender by any means. I see it's hopeless to reason with you, however, and consider this my resignation from this page, please do not contact me regarding it or anything tangentially related to this. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador  ᐁT₳LKᐃ  16:31, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Well, now the Swedish intelligence Säpo have also come out with their report, saying that the number of "violent Islamist extremists" (their words) in Sweden have soared from 200 in 2010 to "thousands" today. The French number of 15,000 can be attributed directly to the former French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, not just a "local publication La Journal du Dimanche" as Pincrete claim above. It is all in all very unconstructive to dismiss everything with labels as "diabolical", "article is one of the worst offenders" etc., when the attitude of constructive editors normally would be, in the case that an error is found, to correct the given statement, not to demand entire paragraphs to be deleted based on more or less minor errors in how something is referenced. User2534 (talk) 16:06, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Read your sources more carefully, what Valls actually says is: "There are 15,000 who are “in the process of being radicalized,” said Valls adding that some 1,400 individuals are already the subjects of investigations related to various alleged terror offences." The description "15,000 potential terror suspects" appears to be the publication's, not Valls' and is anyway fairly meaningless, (we are all 'potential murder suspects' aren't we?) The text is also still a long way from our text "monitoring 15,000 "radical Islamists" (note quotes invented by WP, as though Fr authorities actually used this term when only the paper did, note omission of 'suspects', note addition of 'monitoring', note 'Fr authorities' not 'Valls').

 * Re: the 'Swedish' source, it also says "He stressed, however, that only a few of the "thousands" had both the intention and ability to carry out a terror attack". You cannot cherry-pick the parts of a source, you endorse, that is the very definition of intentional misrepresentation.

 * I repeat, the level of OR, synth and misrepresentation of sources here is truly 'diabolical'. Pincrete (talk) 16:59, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

 * There's nothing about this that negate the fact that these are real numbers that are identified by intelligence and security sevices in several countries. Please make corrections and add nuances to this, but there is nothing close to any "intentional misrepresentation" by referencing numbers which have been provided by agencies, governments and news across Europe. User2534 (talk) 09:23, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The information must reflect the sources, and the information must meet the standards for inclusion on wikipeida. Verifiable infomration does not automatically equal inclusion. Sources do not automatically equal inclusion. the information must be notable and the information must also be more than simply news reporting. Keeping on going. I have a source and it must be included, shows that the quality and notability of the information is not being assessed. Simply being stated by a security source is not good enough that must be independently verified and reliably third party sourced. Sport and politics (talk) 09:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * So there's nothing relevant about the numbers of identified Islamic extremists with Islamic terrorism in Europe? The sources themselves put the numbers directly in the context of recent terrorist attacks, notably since many terrorists have been, currently or previously part of these investigations which becomes a debate after almost every attack. It is literally spelled out by the sources. User2534 (talk) 10:46, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * This needs to be confirmed b multiple independent third party sources, and as has been pointed out the information in the sources is not an accurate reflection of the content being portrayed. If the information accurately portrays the content, then the information will meet the inclusion criteria for this encyclopaedia. Simply going, numbers in the source, is not enough when that has been demonstrated to not be an accurate reflection of the source. Sport and politics (talk) 11:33, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * So sources need to be confirmed by sources? User2534 (talk) 11:41, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * If you want to see it like that, yes. The information contained in the sources needs to be reliable. It cannot just be one source giving its view, take, slant, or interpretation. The source may be wrong or the information it is portraying may be inaccurate, even though the source material is acting in good faith. The information needs to be verifiable, and single sources for contentious information do not make the claims any more reliable than having no source at all. A good minimum number to aim for is three sources, showing the wider notability of the information and the accuracy of the information. Sport and politics (talk) 14:51, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, it´s a list in the first place, so lets remove the disputed parts of the written text, so that we can focus on the list itself. Alexpl (talk) 22:09, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Re: So there's nothing relevant about the numbers of identified Islamic extremists . There would be, if this was what was said by intelligence authorities, but it clearly isn't. (Some) newspapers take figures from intelligence spokespeople amend the intell to describe the people as 'identified Islamic extremists', then WP editors want to selectively report those sources 'beefing up' the figures and text even further. I'm sure intell authorities across Europe have an increasing number of people on their databases and have real difficulty spotting the dangerous. Turning that into a PoV commentary and claiming that govt. or intell authorities are saying things which they simply are not saying is truly astonishing. Anybody can go to 100s of news-sites to find hysterical, scare-mongering garbage, we don't need it here. Pincrete (talk) 08:29, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * The world's most renowned news agencies like AFP are now apparently "hysterical, scare-mongering garbage". Really hope admins take note of the views here by some of these users who are heavily involved in the disruptive (deletionst) edit-warring on this page. User2534 (talk) 21:56, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Veiled threats are unwelcome. Please remember that reporting breaking news, and initial reports, of fast moving situations, and holding them to be perma-fact, which is unchallengeable, is the very essence of what Wikipedia is against. There must be follow though, and remembering that Wikiepida is not a news site, and that it is not form listing indiscriminately. Information must be accurate, up to date, relevant, verified, and reliable. simply going AP said so or CNN said so or theBBC said so does not make it golden information which is sacrosanct. Sport and politics (talk) 22:27, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * "Information must be accurate, up to date, relevant, verified, and reliable." And the problem is? What you write otherwise is so subjectively relative and floating that it could be applied to any news source at your personal will. User2534 (talk) 23:03, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * And the problem is? What editors are adding bears little relationship to what the individual source says and what the individual source says is often not borne out by other, or later sources. One source implying that the world could be flatter than we thought doesn't make it flat, certainly not proven to be so. I don't believe any admin would conclude that I have been unreasonable in defending the accuracy of sources, whereas others seem wholly indifferent to inserting 'hysterical, scare-mongering garbage' which I describe thus because it bears little or no relationship to the text in the RS used. I know of no point in this thread where I have been inaccurate or distorted sources.

Tone of discussions, commenting on contributors, making veiled threats, and assigning motives to other users
The poor behaviour needs to stop on this article. making of threats, commenting on contributors, and assigning motives to editors, must stop. Everyone needs to cool off.

Wikipeida as an encyclopedia is being ignored here. The following articles need to be read by all contributors before this circular points scoring ends in nothing being achieved. The overarching and founding first read for all must be: Then users need to read all of the following:
 * 1) The Five Pillars of Wikipeida:
 * 1) Civility on Wikipeida
 * 2) Neutral Point of View on WIkipeida
 * 3) The notability for including events
 * 4) The ban on original research
 * 5) The requirement that everything be verified
 * 6) The explicits of what Wikipedia is not:
 * 7) Wikipedia not being a place for personal thought or personal analysis in articles
 * 8) Wikipedia not being a collection of unverifiable speculation
 * 9) Wikpiedia not being a newspaper
 * 10) Wikipeidia not being a collection of indiscriminate information
 * 11) Wikipeida is not a battleground which some users are turning this page into

Finally and somewhat most importantly there must be a remembering that some of these events detail actions by people who are still alive. and simply being in prison or in hospital does not mean articles containing information about them need not conform to:
 * 1) The notability of people guidelines; and
 * 2) Wikipedia policy on information about living persons added to any Wikipedia article or page

Let's all calm down and actually follow the purpose of Wikipeidia as at the end of the day editors are here by choice and if editors want to do something outside of the scope of this encyclopedia please go ahead and do so. No one is forced to stay.

Not Turkey?
See 2017 Istanbul nightclub shooting and 2016 Atatürk Airport attack. Beshogur (talk) 19:46, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

 * I agree with . The attacks in Istanbul should be mentioned. But I'm afraid that most editors will not agree. They reluctantly included Russia in the article, let alone Turkey. --TonyaJaneMelbourne (talk) 09:13, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

 * I think that it should be not included, because a) Turkey is not part of Europe (for the most part) and b) should have (or maybe does have?) its own article for Turkey vs Islamic Terrorism. This is in particular because sometimes shelling of Turkish cities from Syria by ISIS occurs, and because in Turkey there are other terrorist attacks, for example by the PKK/Kurds, plus the alleged terrorism of the Gülen people. Furthermore, there have been reports of turkish support for ISIS, which obviously would be needed to be stated in such an article. --Tscherpownik (talk) 22:35, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

 * You may as well exclude Russia from the article with same reasons. In addition, not all Islamist attacks in Europe is ISIL, see 2015 Île-de-France attacks and 2017 Saint Petersburg Metro bombing (in both attacks al-Qaeda is responsible), so you as well may exclude these attacks from the article too. I think if attack took place on European soil and has Islamist roots, the attack should be mentioned in the article. 2017 Istanbul nightclub shooting and 2016 Atatürk Airport attack took place in Instanbul (in most European city of Turkey), also ISIL is responsible for attacks. Mention of the attacks in the European part of Turkey is a good idea. --TonyaJaneMelbourne (talk) 18:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Content in the background section that was deleted due to some complaints that there were too few good sources have been rewritten by me to comply with all issues, as follows:

"The numbers of Islamic extremists have risen rapidly in recent years in Europe. In 2016, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that police and intelligence services were tracking 15,000 extremists in France.  After the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, British authorities and MI5 revealed they had 500 ongoing investigations into 3,000 individuals, with a further 20,000 having been "subjects of interest" in the past. The latter number was noted since the Manchester and Westminster attackers were only among "former subject[s] of interest."   In Germany, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) reported they had registered over 10,000 "radical Salafists" in 2017, double as many as had been registered by 2013. The Swedish Security Service (Säpo) said the number of Islamic extremists in Sweden had soared to "thousands" in 2017, up from 200 in 2010, which it said was "a new historic challenge," confirming that "some of these extremists may be planning terrorist attacks." User2534 (talk) 09:47, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Some of this is a misrepresentation of the source material. The Swedish sources do state the section as written. That is though not the whole picture of what the articles go on to say. Source 9 as listed above states "while noting that only a handful were deemed able to carry out a terror attack". Source 10 states "But very few have both the desire and the ability to carry out actual attacks" Source 11 specifically uses the word may, and the word may does not confirm attacks will happen. Anyone may be planning anything. Can a translation of the German source in to English be provided so that verifiability of the source can be undertaken by all and not just those who understand German.

There needs to be some discussion of the sentence "with a further 20,000 having been "subjects of interest" in the past. The latter number was noted since the Manchester and Westminster attackers were only among "former subject[s] of interest." The phrase "former subject of interest" and "subject of Interest" is jargon, and has no real meaning, in the context above.For all it could mean they were racially profiled to simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time so showed up on a computer database. This needs more explanation before being included.

In relation to the sources on France. only one of the sources uses the word 'tracks' none specifically state 'Tracking" this appears to not be accurate reflection of the whole source. 15,000 is a number which appears in all three sources, but it appears to be being taken out of context in the above sentence.

These issues need addressing before it should be added to the article. Sport and politics (talk) 10:12, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Now you are just making problems up for the sake of causing disruption. If any of this are real concerns, please correct them if possible. User2534 (talk) 10:24, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 * This does not even begin to answer the issues raised above. Sentence 1 uses a Swedish source to describe UK and Fr figures, UK sources do not describe the 23,000 figure as 'extremists', in fact the claim is contradicted by the later claim that the 20,000 were 'subjects of interest'. Which are they? These sources do not appear to support the claim that numbers have increased, except the Sw. ones. If you want to attribute the claim to 'the local', that would be a different matter, but of course it would have zero authority then. The sentence about Valls, completely misrepresents what he said as pointed out by Sp+Pol and by me previously. When the first few sentences are not remotely supportable, one doesn't feel like reading the rest. Pincrete (talk) 10:42, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 * This is a valid edit request, and considering the recent edit warring is a really good step towards sorting out the dispute in a civil manner.

 * Well, the problem now is that after taking note of the issues raised (some of which were valid and reasonable) I have gone through the sources and done my best to accurately represent what the sources describe, noting both the relevance and wording used. Still there seem to be an extreme attention to whatever detail in precise wordings which I honestly have problems undertanding what the problem is, and more importantly how it can be solved. The underlying theme from the two users that continues now seems to be disproving the very essence of what the sources describe in ways that seem nearly impossible to accomodate.

 * I've just noticed that the Telegraph figures (and Telegraph is strongest source here on UK figures), doesn't even say that the 20,000 are 'Islamic' figures. I don't have any objection to using the expression "subjects of interest", it is an (intentionally?) imprecise way of saying 'people whose names we've collected for one reason or another down the years, who it would be silly for us to delete and who include X people who we think are dangerous". What I object to is poor sources describing those 20,000 in 'beefed up' language that MI5 have never used and having that version put into WP voice. Pincrete (talk) 12:15, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

It appears clear the information as it currently stands does not reach the a community standard for inclusion and it seems futile to keep going over this issue. The community standards for inclusion are by consensus not being met. Better sourcing and better wording are needed before this can be included. Simply going round in circles with one side going but it is in the source, and the other side going the source does not portray that is pointless and unconstructive. It is time to move to a different area of issue with the article and come back to this when the issues pointed out with the proposed edit are addressed fully by the user calling for the inclusion of the information.

 * There is discussion above (Casualty tallies in infobox), about whether ANY of the infobox is apt, given that this is not a military conflict in the usual sense. Pincrete (talk) 09:22, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * That's a slight exaggeration on your part, but whatever. In the meantime, this should be wholly uncontroversial. I made an edit request. TompaDompa (talk) 11:00, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Attacks in France and UK
Re summary section para 1:

''During this period, France has been a top European target, with 19 attacks between December 2014 and April 2017; source 4 this included the January 2015 Île-de-France attacks, the November 2015 Paris attacks, and the July 2016 Nice truck attack. The United Kingdom saw a rise in terrorist activity in early 2017, with three major attacks carried out in a span of four months (see the 2017 Westminster attack, the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, and the June 2017 London Bridge attack). Other notable targets in Europe have included the Belgium, Germany, and Russia. The trans-continental city of Istanbul also saw both bombings and shootings, including in January 2016, June 2016 and January 2017. ''

As previously pointed out by me above, much of this para is OR. The used Guardian ref actually says 8 attacks in France in the 18 months from Jan 2015 (Hebdo) to July 2016 (Normandy church), the other 11 attacks are not supported by the ref used, though I have seen BBC sources referring to either 2/3 since then, but 11 more is not supported by any RS I've seen. There may be other accounts of how many in what period and I have no strong feeling of which figure is used beyond using the best source(s). Since it may well be the case that sources do not wholly agree on numbers of attacks, or may discount 'failed' or trivial or disputed ones, we should perhaps attribute.

Nor is 'top European target' supported, though it probably could be, though I don't see the need for such 'comparatives'. Ditto 'rise' in UK, the same thing could be said more succinctly either by omitting the comparison, or saying when the previous incident was (Rigby or 2005).

Lastly, do we need the 'majors' and 'notables'? If they weren't significant we shouldn't be mentioning them in the summary. Pincrete (talk) 14:36, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I think it can be removed from the article. I'm afraid that we will see a lot of bloody attacks in Western Europe, Russia and Turkey. Each time expanding of this section will be moral dilemma. Moreover, we do not have criteria for identifying major or minor attacks.--TonyaJaneMelbourne (talk) 12:57, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

AfD
Since there now seems to be consensus among the few active users remaining on this page, and the consequently gradual withdrawal of almost any dissenting views, I think the solution at this point must be to nominate this article for deletion. At this point this is the consensus per discussion above, and a nomination will get my full endorsement. User2534 (talk) 13:36, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

 * An AfD discussion while there's an ongoing RfC on scope seems to me like jumping the gun something fierce. TompaDompa (talk) 13:56, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Indeed, let's see what the RFC outcome is. Personally, though, I'm not seeing much reason for the existence of this article except to promulgate some OR and Synth, which has now been toned down, and most of the contents already exist, usually better sourced, in List of Islamist terrorist attacks. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 14:03, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Previous merge discussion here. Pincrete (talk) 14:18, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Except that this is the second time in the last 3 days that I have attempted to upgrade the article with sources supporting the idea that there has been a wave of terrorism since 2014, a wave that has received WP:SIGCOV, only to find that that page is protected form editing. It is disingenuous to claim that we hsould move toward deletion without allowing editors to upgrade the article.  To be clear, I am not blocked individually, this is some sort of blanked block.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:50, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Article I intended to source to stated  "The death toll jumped dramatically from four people killed by terrorists in Europe in 2014 to 151 in 2015 (the year of the Bataclan), and then 142 in 2016 (including the 87 killed in Nice on Bastille Day).". Just tag it for improvement.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:04, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Which is cherry picking. Why not pick a year from the recent past when the IRA, ETA and the Red Brigade were operating and compare the much smaller number of attacks to 2014-present? We've been discussing this on the page already - see the last few comments (and the links contained therein) here. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 17:40, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * France had an extremely bad 2 years from 2015 - Autumn 2016, nobody disputes that. But where are the sources saying that this represents a general trend across Europe or that this trend continues into the present? Even if a few exist, do the preponderance of good RS come to that conclusion? I think not. The BBC in Autumn 2016 concluded exactly the opposite, even allowing for the very high figures in France that year The number for Western Europe is 143, which is lower than many years in the 1970s. The recent UK attacks are horrific, but they are the first there since 2005 and do not even begin to approach the normal annual average deaths in the UK during "the troubles". Many things may have changed in recent years, including the role of the internet, but it necessitates extremely selective reporting of sources to claim that there is "a wave of terrorism", a term which appears to be your own invention, not one applied to this period by the bulk of sources. … … … ps none of us can edit, get consensus for your additions per normal editing practice. Pincrete (talk) 19:53, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm doing my best to stay out of this article because it causes people to act irrationally, but good lord. It's OR/Synth? ? Wouldn't every single list on WP be OR/Synth by that logic? Yes. Lists are NOT the ten commandments, they are not set in stone-- they are editor-created compilations of information. I used List of Islamist terrorist attacks to add some attacks to THIS list, but they were reverted because apparently it was not well sourced or it was OR or something. Seemingly there are a lot of WP editors who think that the very IDEA of this article is Islamophobic, but that's absurdist POV. A way to support your hopes of deleting this article are not continuously blanking content and removing context so that no article remains. People are being so irrational about this article and are asking for burdens of proof which are unobtainable and illogical. It's a sort of systematic white-washing/rose-colored glass which is trying to convince WP that islamic terrorism is not happening. And it doesn't matter if there were more of less attacks from 2014 to present than there were in 1970. If there was one, there can be an article about it. There is literally no basis for deletion other than WP:IDON'TLIKEIT. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐁT₳LKᐃ  19:09, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Re: it doesn't matter if there were more of less attacks from 2014 to present than there were in 1970. If there was one, there can be an article about it. ..... It does matter if you have text saying there has been an increase or that Europe is in the clutches of a wave of terror, because that text becomes, at best, synth, and at worst a lie. Who has said that Islamic terrorism isn't happening? Calm, rational coverage of a phenomenon is not 'rose coloured glasses', it's calm rational coverage. I don't believe I have ever used the word Islamaphobic, on or off WP, and don't remember anyone expressing that thought here.

 * The standards of sourcing are the same everywhere on WP, if you feel they are being wrongly applied here, try WP:RSN or WP:RfC. There is no special get-out-guideline that says an editor can write what they want because they are warning the world about the perils of Islamic terrorism. If the sources don't exist, the info probably doesn't deserve to be here. I discovered today, that a highly respected european database, records just over half as many deaths from Islamic Terrorism in Europe as WP does, and that's after us removing dozens in the last year from here. It also has approx half as many attacks in France as WP does up to Dec 2016. Obviously some WP editors have divining rods, which professional experts lack.

 * I agree with you that the article will probably be tidied, or merged, not deleted. Pincrete (talk) 20:00, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Proposed redirect

 * The more I think about it, the more I come to realize that the independent, novel, notable, article supporting phenomenon on which we should have an article is the international series of ISIS-related attacks that began in the spring of 2014, the year the "Islamic State" declared itself a  "caliphate" in Syria.   I suggest that we redirect this article to International ISIS attacks or similar, and use the work already put into this article to create that one, pruning as necessary.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:36, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Propose redirect to Global ISIS terrorism International ISIS attacks.
Propose redirecting this to International ISIS attacks. The international series of ISIS-related attacks that began in the spring of 2014, the year the "Islamic State" declared itself a  "caliphate" in Syria, is a notable topic. A small sample of the sources that can be used to support such an article, which would include lists and incorporate relevant incidents form the current list, include:
 * CNN: ISIS goes global: 143 attacks in 29 countries have killed 2,043.
 * A 2015 Europol  report entitled Changes in Modus Operandi of Islamic State Terrorist Attacks (available in pdf)  very good on the subject.
 * Where ISIS Has Directed and Inspired Attacks Around the World New York Times
 * ISIS has pledged to attack China Next; Here's Why Foreign Affairs

 * In Brussels, the first of the Syrian jihadis comes home to roost Times of Israel, .E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:36, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Well the Irish Times lists 11 attacks in the whole of Europe from 2014-2016, which is considerably under our 19 for the same period. The Irish Times doesn't describe most of them as connected with ISIS, indeed it doesn't even mention most of them as 'Islamic' at all, simply "deadly attacks by militants in Europe. So no, no chance, when the first source one reads doesn't even begin to support a proposal, one doesn't feel like looking at the others ...... (ps when did "International" start to mean around 8 named countries in Europe?).Pincrete (talk) 14:56, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The first source was CNN for a reason. I wrote "international" because I meant "Internaitonal - but "Global" would have been better.  Changing that now.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:27, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Note that the CNN list includes multiple attack on every continent except for South America and Antartica. Note also that this topic is not covered in the main article Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, nor are there attacks presently goruped in an article or list that I can find, althoubh there are 22 countries in Category:Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant by country.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:33, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

I am not going to comment in detail on this proposal which is in my opinion hysteria. I just think it is an awful proposed development of the article, and a retrograde step. The article has more fundamental issues regarding if it should exist in the first place, and that is a matter or the RfC. This proposal belongs in the RfC as well. Sport and politics (talk) 17:54, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * nb edit conflict
 * The CNN article lists this as an ISIS attack, all UK sources and UK authorities concluded the perp was long-term mentally ill, so it does not inspire much confidence. Time and time again the CNN says 'The attack is believed to have been inspired by ISIS', believed by whom? However the main objection is that there is an RfC on the scope of this list, there is someone else suggesting deletion, now you want to completely alter the scope of this article. I believe there already are articles on the impact of ISIS on countries outside the middle East, so why the change is proposed is not clear. Pincrete (talk) 18:00, 26 June 2017 (UTC) –

 * I don't particularly share the view that this would be a step in the wrong direction, but I do agree that this is not the time. Wait for the results of the RfC. TompaDompa (talk) 18:56, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't oppose if the direction were towards specific, defined, geographical areas, but I suspect most of those articles already exist. Pincrete (talk) 08:25, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Walter Myers (physician)

Walter Myers BSc, MA, MB BChir, MRCS, LRCP (28 March 1872 – 20 January 1901) was a British physician, toxicologist and parasitologist who died of yellow fever aged 28 while studying the disease in Brazil.

Early life
Walter Myers was born on 28 March 1872 in Edgbaston, the only son of George Myers (b.1841) and Flora Wertheimer (1851-1921) granddaughter of Chief Rabbi Akiba Wertheimer and niece of German philosopher Constantin Brunner. His older sister Violet was a classical singer and younger sister Stella was a noted psychologist and psychotherapist. His firstborn nephew, Walter Myers Churchill (b.1907 d.1942), was named in his memory.

Education
Myers went to King Edward's High School, Birmingham, as a Foundation Scholar.

In 1889 he left the High School with a Natural Science Scholarship, tenable for three years in Mason's College, Birmingham (now Birmingham University), where he studied in the biological laboratory while preparing for the Intermediate BSc. Examination (London), and won the Senior Botanical Prize. In 1890, relinquishing this scholarship, he then went to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he gained an open Natural Science Scholarship and received a First in Part I. At the same time he studied science at London University.

He then became a medical student at St Thomas' Hospital, London, graduating in medicine at Cambridge University in 1897.

Career
In 1891 he entered the Pathological Laboratory in the University of Cambridge where he continued to work under Professor Alfredo Kanthack until 1898. In February 1899 he was elected to the John Lucas Walker Studentship in Pathology, a scholarship given by the University of Cambridge for original pathological research, on the recommendation of Professor Kanthack for Myers’ work on blood and its diseases, and on the theory of immunity.

Under the scholarship Myers studied in three leading laboratories in Germany. He first went to the University of Freiburg to continue his pathological investigation under Professor Ernst Ziegler where he soon produced some further excellent work on cobra poisoning and the development of antivenom serums, and his preliminary investigations on the action of the various forms of proteids and their antibodies were some of the most important contributions to the study of immunity at that time. He then went to Berlin under Professor Robert Koch, a pioneering microbiologist and founder of modern bacteriology who received the Nobel Prize in 1905 for his groundbreaking research on tuberculosis; and subsequently to Frankfurt under Professor Paul Erhlich who received the Nobel Prize in 1908 for his contributions to immunology.

In June 1900 under the auspices of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine Myers accompanied fellow eminent Cambridge scientist, Dr Herbert Durham who led the Yellow Fever Expedition to Brazil. In 1881 the Cuban epidemiologist Dr Carlos Finlay was the first to theorise that yellow fever was transmitted by mosquitoes, but this remained unproven in the wider scientific community. While en route to Brazil they visited the U.S. Naval Hospital (now Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) in Washington where they met U.S. Surgeon General George Miller Sternberg who is considered the first U.S. bacteriologist, and then proceeded to Havana where they met Dr Finlay and his co-workers on 25 July 1900, and also the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission, led by Dr Walter Reed, which subsequently confirmed Dr Finlay's theory. Among Reed's team was bacteriologist Dr Jesse Lazear who died a month later on 26 September aged 34 after deliberately allowing an infected mosquito bite him in order to study the disease.

On 24 August Durham and Myers arrived in Pari (modern day Belém) in the northern state of Pará, Brazil, where they established a laboratory in Domingos Freire Hospital to study the transmission of the disease and were among the first to establish its transmission by mosquitoes. Durham and Myers were aware of the risks that they were taking; however, on 16 January 1901, after conducting the fourteenth autopsy on victims of yellow fever both men found they were themselves infected. They were transferred to the Domingos Freire Isolation Hospital in Pari where Durham recovered but Myers died four days later, aged 28. In his subsequent report Durham deduced that they had both been infected through mosquito bites.

"My dear colleague. I have learned with the greatest sorrow of the death of our common pupil and friend, Myers. It is, indeed, a great loss - such an able, strenuous, trustworthy worker, and of so good a character. When you receive more detailed particulars from Dr Durham, may I ask you to kindly communicate them to me?" "Those who follow the development of pathological investigation in this country had looked forward to much and most valuable work coming from Walter Myers. The researches he had already carried to a successful issue, characterised by rare insight, great accuracy and perseverance, had gained for him a name of which older men might well be proud. Myers’ death, which he met whilst carrying on investigations which had for their object the elucidation of the aetiology, pathology, and treatment of yellow fever, came as a great shock to his friends, and now even those who knew him only through his work feel keenly that Pathology has lost a splendid worker."

An abstract of the resulting interim report of the expedition by his colleague Dr. Durham appeared in The Lancet and a full report was published the following year.

Legacy
The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine paid for a headstone to be placed on Myers’ grave in Pari and for a memorial plaque to be placed on the school building in Liverpool and also at Birmingham University where Myers first studied.

A fund (to which his father and uncle Charles Samuel contributed) was set up to fund a permanent Walter Myers Chair of Parasitology at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and also a 5-year fellowship called the Walter Myers Fellowship of Tropical Medicine. The Chair still exists, with Prof Stephen A Ward the current incumbent.

A Scholarship in Myers' name is awarded in Caius College Cambridge for outstanding results obtained in the Part II year.

Thyle

A thyle (OE þyle, ON þulr) was a member of the court associated with Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon royalty and chieftains in the Early Middle Ages, whose precise role is uncertain but probably had to do with the preservation of knowledge of the past and the judging of present statements against it.

Most literary references are found in Icelandic and Old English literature like the Hávamál, where the term Fimbulþulr, "the great thyle", presumably refers to Odin himself, and Beowulf. In Gautreks saga, Starkad is referred to as a þulr after he sacrifices a king. The word also appears on the runic inscription of the Snoldelev Stone. Frederiksberg's original name was Tulehøj ("Thyle Hill").

The Old English term is glossed as Latin histrio "orator" and curra "jester"; þylcræft means "elocution". Zoëga's Concise Dictionary of Old Icelandic defines þulr as "wise-man, sage," cognate to Old Norse þula (verb) "to speak" and þula (noun) "list in poetic form". The Rundata project translates þulr as "reciter". From this it appears that the office of thyle was connected to the keeping and reproducing of orally transmitted lore like the Rígsþula, "Lay of Rígr".

Unferð holds the role of thyle in the poem Beowulf; it has been suggested that he was also the scop who is mentioned reciting poetry at the feast. It might be seen as a legitimate function of a guardian of the knowledge of the past to challenge boasts, judging them against the heroic past. This may have played a role in preserving the luck of the group. Alternatively the thyle's role, including Unferth's, has also been envisaged as part of the comitatus (war-band), channeling rage into concerted action.

Some modern scholars view the role of the thyle as being usurped by monks after Christianization, and being reduced to the modern caricature of the jester (hence the Latin gloss of curra).

Remi Wolf

Remi Francis Wolf (born February 2, 1996) is an American singer and songwriter from Palo Alto, California. As a senior in high school, she appeared as a contestant on American Idol in 2014. After completing her undergraduate music studies in 2018, she made her solo debut with the self-released extended play You're a Dog! in October 2019. Wolf subsequently released her second EP and major-label debut, I'm Allergic to Dogs!, on Island Records and Virgin EMI Records in June 2020,  followed by her debut studio album, Juno, in October 2021. She released her second album, Big Ideas, on July 12, 2024.

Early life and education
Wolf was born in Palo Alto, California, on February 2, 1996, to a Sicilian mother and a Russian-Persian father. At around the age of eight she became interested in competitive skiing; she represented the US in alpine skiing at the Youth Olympic Games for two consecutive years.

When she was 14, Wolf formed her first band with a friend. They called it Remi and Chloe (later, Remi, Chloe, & The Extracts). As a senior at Palo Alto High School, Wolf appeared as a contestant during the audition rounds on the thirteenth season of American Idol in 2014, but, without any formal dismissal, did not reappear later on in the show. At age 17, she moved to Los Angeles, where she attended the USC Thornton School of Music, graduating in 2018 at the age of 22.

Career
Wolf met producer Jared Solomon (also known as Solomonophonic) while in high school and began collaborating with him thereafter. Her first single, "Guy", was produced by Solomon and was released in 2019. Off the success of that song, Wolf opened for Still Woozy on his tour in April of that year. She also toured with Cautious Clay and performed at both the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books and Viva Pomona! later in 2019. She released her first EP, You're a Dog!, in September 2019. She was later signed to Island Records, a division of the Universal Music Group.

Her first single as an Island signee, "Woo!", was released in April 2020. That was followed by the singles "Photo ID" and "Disco Man". Those tracks would go on to appear on Wolf's second EP, I'm Allergic to Dogs!, released in June 2020 via Island. "Photo ID" accrued numerous streams and shares on TikTok throughout 2020. In November 2020, her single "Hello Hello Hello" was featured in an ad for the iPhone 12. In May 2021, she released We Love Dogs!, a remix EP with guest appearances from acts like Sylvan Esso, Beck, Dominic Fike, Hot Chip, and others.

Later in 2021, Wolf began releasing new singles, including "Liquor Store", "Grumpy Old Man", and "Quiet on Set". These would appear on her major label debut studio album, Juno, released via Island in October 2021. In March 2022, she released the single "Pool" with Still Woozy. Later that year, Wolf opened for Lorde on the North American leg of her "Solar Power" tour. In June 2022, Wolf released a "deluxe" version of Juno with four additional tracks. That month, she toured throughout Europe, including a stop at the Firenze Rocks festival in Florence, Italy where she performed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nas. Those dates constituted the first leg of Wolf's "Gwingle Gwongle" tour, which had stops across North America later in the fall of 2022. In August 2022 in collaboration with Spotify, Wolf released the Live at Electric Lady EP, a collection of six live songs, including a cover of Frank Ocean's "Pink + White". In November 2022, Wolf announced her first tour of Australia and New Zealand during which she was scheduled to play multiple festivals and a handful of headlining shows in December 2022 and January 2023. Wolf performed at the 22nd Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2023. Her hit song "Monte Carlo" was featured in the Netflix movie You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah in August 2023. A single, "Cinderella", was released in March 2024, and an album, Big Ideas, was announced for a July 2024 release. Before the release she appeared as the supporting act on some of the European concerts of Olivia Rodrigo's Guts World Tour.

Artistry
Musically, Wolf performs in what she describes as a "funky soul pop" genre. In a 2021 interview, she stated she wants to "constantly try to innovate the sound of pop music" and "erase the rules of pop". The New York Times wrote that she turns the bedroom pop genre into "hypercolored explosions". Wolf cites Still Woozy, SZA, and John Mayer as musical influences.

Personal life
Wolf is bisexual. She has been based in Los Angeles, California, since circa 2014. In June 2020, she was checked into rehab for alcohol use disorder. She claims to have been sober ever since, and that in past instances she frequently drank to the point of blacking out; although she could easily function in daily life, she had started fighting with family, friends and collaborators. She has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

This peer review discussion has been closed. I have expanded this article over the past few months to the point where it seems to exhaust all relevant topics. Of course, it could still use some copy editing and proofreading and I'll probably continue tweaking a few things here and there, but I would now like to get some feedback from other editors. In particular, I would like to know whether there is some crucial topic that still needs to be covered, if things are clear and concise enough (especially in the Language Structure section), and whether or not the article goes into excessive detail in some sections.

I only looked it over quickly. Without being familiar with the subject, the article does seem to me to be well-organized and comprehensive.  C üRly T üRkey  Talk Contribs 21:34, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The sample table giving different translations of The Fox and the Crow doesn't really work on brownsers that aren't maximized, or on cell phone/smartphone browsers. At the very least, the widths of the colums should be made absolute, rather than percentages, but it might be better to have them sequential.
 * There were quite a number of statements without inline citations, e.g. "About 10% of all Romansh speakers reside in parts of Grisons outside the traditional Romansh language area.", "Other classifications group Sursilvan, Sutsilvan, and Surmiran together as Rhenish varieties. Surmiran in particular often forms a transition zone between the dialects of the Engadine and the Rhine valley."
 * The duplicate links could be cut down---e.g. Durich Chiampell (a redlink) is linked in two consecutive pararaphs in the Origins and development until modern times section. See WP:OVERLINK, where it recommends link words only once per article (although personally I think it's fine in separate sections, as people often don't read article sections sequentially).
 * Thanks for your feedback! I've tried cutting down on the links a bit, but I also think that it's fine to have them in separate sections. Especially since many links are to regions or towns most English-speakers will not be familiar with. I'll add more inline citations; usually I simply didn't bother putting in the same citation after each statement, so the source is often the previous or next citation. Pretty much all the statistical info comes from Furer 2005 for instance, who is the prime source for data from the Swiss census. --Terfili (talk) 10:49, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't need an inline citation for each section. If a citation applies to the following statement(s), then just put it after all the statements in a paragraph to which it applies.  A single citation at the end of a paragraph is perfectly fine.  C üRly T üRkey  Talk Contribs 21:21, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Looks good to me... I'm making copyedits as I read the article.  Sandstein   12:02, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
