Other work section
[edit]Does the article really need a complete list of her compositions? Some do not seem notable. Also, the section does not source the information in the list. Mvxzw (talk) 02:36, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Reliable sources
[edit]Just a warning that details of Calix's life have been in flux since Warp Records announced her death. The announcement included no mention of date of death, cause of death or her age at death. Some sources, like The Independent dubiously claimed in their article that she was 52 despite Warp providing no such information. The Guardian was more diligent in their reporting, acknowledging the lack of age in Warp's announcement. However, The Guardian has since updated their article with new information (presumably confirmed by a primary source) saying Calix was 51.
I also added a section referencing Mixmag which user Jamellis thankfully removed, which claimed her residence in Suffolk and marriage to Sean Booth of Autechre. The article has since been scrubbed of that information, which I again can only presume a primary source is responsible for.
Another piece of information is her year of birth, which most reliable sources indicate to be 1970, but some authority files seem to have historically listed as being 1969. That information has been repeated on Wikipedia, with the German and French Wikipedia pages for Calix still incorrectly listing 1969. Οἶδα (talk) 16:53, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- According to The Wire magazine, date of death is 26 March. It's a brief caption and the only source containing this information, so possibly problematic to include it. Οἶδα (talk) 04:53, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Update: The New York Times has now published an obituary with completely different dates (b. 28 October 1969, d. 25 March 2022) confirmed by her partner, Andy Holden, who declined to specify the cause. Οἶδα (talk) 18:29, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
