Talk:Basel-Landschaft

message: The nine municipalities of the Arlesheim district used to belong to the diocese of Base. In 1792 French troops occupied the district and in 1973 the lands were annexed by France. In 1815 at the Congress of Vienna the district joined Basel.
:That's a rather confused account. The Diocese of Basel and the Baselbiet (the city of Basel's fiefdom) were not the same. The bishop of Basel had been expelled from the city in (IIRC) 1512 and in the 1790s his seat was at Porrentry/Pruntrut. The bishop's domain was still called the Diocese of Basel, but it had no jurisdiction over Basel or the Baselbiet, and Catholicism was not tolerated in Basel's jurisdiction. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 00:16, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The "History" section includes several unsupported statements of opinion, e.g. about the level of education that formerly existed in the country vs the city, and about reunification efforts. There is at least undue emphasis on some aspects of the canton's history at the expense of others. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 22:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  History: undue emphasis 

message: Since I have obsessive followers for now, please note I would like to add the following to the article:
On 10 January 2017, the New York Times reported in the article titled "Muslim Girls in Switzerland Must Attend Swim Classes With Boys, Court Says" the canton being staunchly leftist and secular as it imposes its views upon Muslim residents through its courts without consideration for the citizens' social attitudes or religious beliefs. Or something to that effect. -Human like you (talk) 13:12, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you mean this article? I did a quick search on the article's text, and couldn't find 'staunchly leftist' (or even 'left') and the only result for 'impose' was in relation to a fine. So I'd suggest some discussion would be merited before using your suggested text, which doesn't come across as very neutral to me. 80.229.60.197 (talk) 14:33, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

text: Moreover, please note that what is being reported in that NYT article is the European Court of Human Rights upholding the school officials' order. Located in Strasbourg, the ECtHR is not one of "its [the staunchly leftist canton's] courts". ---Sluzzelin talk 14:59, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

text: I also advice you re-read the article more thoroughly. Additionally, I don't get the point what the relation with "leftist" does really matter. First of all, Basel-Landschaft is throughly "bürgerlich", center and right wing parties have a very strong majority. In other words, left parties are a minority power (29:61). And secondly, traditionally such an approach would rather be expected by right party representatives. So your "staunchly leftist" claim is totally wrong, irrelevant and futile. -- ZH8000 (talk) 15:03, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Surely, you must understand that liberal means leftist in political terms. Would you have answered me the same way if I had said staunchly "liberal", as the article states or implies? I could bring a ton of evidence from the article to the contrary. Anyway, this distrcit has major issues to deal with no matter what Wikipedia says about it. Good luck Swtizerland.
