Articles needing attention
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)
