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)
