User:Alarob/Basel

Omnibus basiliensis: This page (a fork from my Workspace) is devoted to articles about Basel, its history, environs, etc. It may lead to a WikiProject. We'll see.

Goals

 * Make Basel a GA.
 * Write History of Basel.
 * Make Basel a FA.
 * Establish WP:BASEL.
 * Create Basel categories as needed.

Article issues

 * Should Bishopric of Basel redirect to Roman Catholic Diocese of Basel? Speyer, Strassburg, and others do not.
 * Done: Now there's Prince-Bishopric of Basel
 * Should the break occur at the expulsion of the bishop from Basel to Porrentruy? Or at Napoleon's creation of the Republic of Rauracia?
 * Napoleon, I guess. That's when the bishop ceased to hold land, right?
 * Bishop of Basel should redir to the Diocese article.
 * A hatnote at the top of Roman Catholic Diocese of Basel should point to the historic Bishopric of Basel.
 * Prince-Bishop of Basel should redir to the latter, the Bishopric.

Category issues

 * For categorizing, is the city of Basel always the same as the canton of Basel-City? When is it and when isn't it?
 * What does DE Wikipedia do? See Basel (Begriffserklärung)
 * For professions, I would consistently argue against continuing the half-canton dichotomy.
 * According to the category page, Category:People from Basel (city) is supposed to include people from both half-cantons. Do we need "(city)" in cat name? There's confusion here.
 * Category name changed from People from Basel in Sept '07, as part of a batch.
 * Name change request in July '08 failed to achieve consensus. Only two of us commented.
 * Query at the talk page for WikiProject Switzerland got bupkes.
 * Another CfD query on 15 September resulted in name change to.
 * Around December 2011 the category names changed to and.
