Proposed Switzerland-United States Free Trade Agreement

I'd appreciate input on Draft:Proposed Switzerland-United States Free Trade Agreement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wickster12345 (talk • contribs) 02:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Error at Sarine District

Would someone please investigate the error at Sarine District for Grolley-Ponthaux. It is currently showing "Incorrect Municipal Code 1 2,239". That message is coming from {{Swiss populations|CH-FR|2239}} at {{Swiss populations}}. Johnuniq (talk) 04:13, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq {{Swiss populations}} uses data from {{Swiss populations data CH-FR}}, which gets its data from here. Since that was last updated in 2023, but Grolley-Ponthaux was created in 2025, due to a fusion of Grolley and Ponthaux, it isn't on that list yet. But we could probably make a temporary fix for it by adding the values for Grolley and Ponthaux, which are in {{Swiss populations data CH-FR}}, up and use that until the actual data is released. (Which will probably take another two years.) Nobody (talk) 19:16, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good article reassessment for Swissair Flight 111

Swissair Flight 111 has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page.

Ilanz (Kreis)

This article about a commune has not been sourced for 15 years. Please find and add reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 12:34, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Given that it has ceased to exist in 2015 due to the restructuring of the administrative territory, there should be some sources talking about that. For now {{HDS|001437}} should be good as a first reference. The relevant change in the law can be found here, not sure if it should be included in the article.

The European Destubathon

Project members are invited to participate in The European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes, including a prize for articles from your project, which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:00, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Schleuniger

The article Schleuniger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for more than 12 years, and Notability concerns for the same period. Tagged for COI for 6 years.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 22:58, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian Thanks for PRODing that. This company doesn't seem to be notable, at least not separately from its parent Komax. The article is quite a mess, too. If the PROD does get contested and sent to AfD, please let me know. Toadspike [Talk] 19:41, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of FC Herzogenbuchsee

The article FC Herzogenbuchsee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for almost 8 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Minor league football team.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

PROD contested, article improved. Thank you for notifying this WikiProject, Bearian! Toadspike [Talk] 02:58, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please move Swiss director Barbara Miller to the article space

BM is an acclaimed Swiss director and producer, who is known in many countries for her feminist documentaries like #Female Power or Forbidden Voices. Her last movie she codirected with Philip Dealquis, who is in the English wiki, but not Barbara Miller. I translated the article and found lots of links to English sources: [Barbara Miller]. I hope it will not take the two months for the reviewing process (The articlce is done by the book, I guess) and someone with the rights to do so, could have a look at it. Thank you!Haemmerli (talk) 12:28, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus on reliability of the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland

(moved from WP:RSN)

The Historical Dictionary of Switzerland ([1]) is a source I've come across and used extensively for Switzerland related articles, especially biographies such as in Franz Vital Lusser or Friedrich Freiherr von Hotze. With its scientific approach and ethical guidlines (links in German) its reliability seems rather solid to me. The project is led by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences and backed by the government, and appears both in print and online in the 3 most spoken national languages of Switzerland, German, French, and Italian. I'm starting this discussion because this widely-used source hasn't been discussed yet and a consensus on its reliability would allow it to be added to NPPSG, which would simplify the work of NPP reviewers. What is your evaluation of this source in the context of Switzerland-related articles? YuniToumei (talk) 06:39, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's as reliable as anything is. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:49, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A very serious and fundamentally reliable institute. A scientifically and widely recognised source in Switzerland. ZH8000 (talk) 16:01, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New resources subpage

Hi all! I've created a new resources subpage, inspired by WP:VG/S. The talk page serves as a forum for discussion of reliability of sources. So far the table is quite short, but I have started discussions to add a bunch of sources. Please, watch this new page if you can, and comment on the discussions! Thank you :) YuniToumei (talk) 09:52, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
