Articles needing attention
[edit]See also categories: Switzerland articles needing attention and Switzerland articles needing infoboxes
- 1848 in Switzerland-about the year 1848 in Switzerland
- Bern - Numerous interesting articles about the Old City of Bern are available but the main article is still very poor (especially for a capital city).
- Château de Chillon - I've expanded it, but it needs more sources to back up its claims (as does the article in French) and an objective re-evaluation on the quality scale.
- Modern history of Switzerland
- Swiss people (merge somewhere?)
- Swiss folklore - extremely stubby, consult Category:Swiss folklore (and Fasnacht), and de:Kategorie:Feste und Brauchtum (Schweiz).
- Economy of Switzerland (has an 'unreferenced' tag)
- Canton of Basel — I've just expanded this article quite a bit, but I'm not sure that all of the information in the period 1501–1798 is actually about the canton, rather than the adjacent Bishopric of Basel; could someone take a look, please? Once you have, please remove {{expert-subject}}. Thanks! — OwenBlacker (Talk) 18:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- Science and technology in Switzerland almost only images 19:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- Valais – Encountered numerous issues addressed in the talk page. I think a complete rewrite is necessary. I am not a member of WikiProject Switzerland, nor an expert in this topic, so I will entrust this matter to this WP. If you have any inquiries visit my talk page Ztimes3 (talk) 08:20, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Science and technology in Switzerland - I've expanded the section on AI. Switzerland is rapidly emerging as a key hub for AI, with growing government, research and private investment over the past several years. Given the increasing scope, would a standalone article on AI in Switzerland be appropriate? HerBauhaus (talk) 12:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- @HerBauhaus Thank you for your work on Swiss topics! While an article on AI in Switzerland would likely meet the general notability guideline, I'm worried about it becoming a magnet for promotional editing. The AI section of Science and technology in Switzerland is not long enough now for a split to be glaringly needed. I think it would be best to focus your efforts there for now, but if it doubles or triples in size a split should be considered. Toadspike [Talk] 19:52, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Requested articles
[edit]See also Draft articles
- Beat Gruninger, a Swiss Scout leader sent to help Scouts internationally, see Scouting in Cambodia
- J+S , an institution affiliated with the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports, which indeed has no article on its own, but redirects to Military of Switzerland. Perhaps the department should have its own article first, and J & S could be mentioned there.
