[edit] Open tasks

• Adding the {{WikiProject Switzerland}} project banner to the talk pages of all articles that fall directly within the scope of this project.
  • don't push the banner on articles that happen to be in some subcategory of Category:Switzerland but are already in perfectly competent hands of a more pertinent project. If we wanted to tag all articles in the category we could use a bot.
• Adding the articles to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Switzerland/Articles list by category.
• Checking the recent changes list to note improvements, other changes, or vandalism to articles.

[edit] Articles needing attention

• Early Modern Switzerland
• Switzerland in the Napoleonic era
• Switzerland as a federal state
• 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).
• Music of Switzerland
• Economy of Switzerland (has an 'unreferenced' tag)
