thread_title: Steam train accident in Switzerland

message: I know that this might not be an issue worth posting on the talk page, but I'll do it anyway just in case. In the "Old Swiss Confederacy" subsection in the "History" section, there are a couple times where the Swiss Confederacy is referred as a "federation". Because Switzerland's government clearly was not a federation until 1798 at the earliest, is this just a mistake or an act of vandalism that was never reverted, or is there another reason why the confederacy is referred to a federation? --1990'sguy (talk) 06:35, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think, in general you are right, in this chapter you could replace federation with confederation. But eventually it is a question of language usage in the sense of: a confederation (loosly coupled states) is also a federation1 (general definition: somehow coupled states), the same way as a federation2 (specific definition: strongly coupled states with one federal constitution) is also a federation1 (general definition). Or when you speak about the concept, then the author uses federation1, when it refers to the particular Swiss one, one speaks about the confederation. But yes, you could replace it. -- ZH8000 (talk) 13:49, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Historical nonsense

message: Glaciers are very important to Switzerland's geography. Due to climate change, the have begun to recede and could possibly disappear in 100 years. The risk of natural disasters increases because of this. The number of days with temperatures reaching  30 degrees Celsius in Ticino increased from one or two per year in the 1960s to roughly 15 today. These changes are even more evident in Geneva and Zurich. The winters are also changing, producing fewer days of snow and delayed seasons. With the snowfall starting later, tourism is heavily effected. One of Switzerland's main attractions is alpine skiing in the Swiss Alps. With a smaller window of time, the less money the country can take in.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesuiskatelyn (talk • contribs) 02:17, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

message: @ZH8000 - It seemed too insane to even bother checking, but it looks like maybe it's true. Especially since they can still buy their own ammunition to keep at home, right? Maybe I could see it as a cost cutting measure. Though it is still so hard to believe that I think it needs a clear cite. The cite given doesn't seem to say anything about it. Can you quote the sentence from the cite that says they no longer issue ammo with the rifles? Has there been a reason given for why they would stop issuing ammo? Do they prohibit the possession at home of ammo that fits the rifle? Do they allow the purchase of ammo for it, but expect some people to not buy or possess the ammo for their rifle?

replies: text: Sorry, I cited the wrong ordinance; replaced by correct one. For further explanations see linkd article. -- ZH8000 (talk) 21:13, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  @ZH8000 - I couldn't find a linked article that explains how they think it will help to stop supplying ammo. But I really only have one question: can they still buy their own ammo for their army rifle and keep it at home? Mindbuilder (talk) 10:21, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I added a news article as citation. About buying ammo, the same laws apply as for other weapons, see Gun laws in Switzerland#Buying Ammunition; i.e. you need to obtain a weapon acquisition permit (easy to get) or a weapon carrying permit (almost impossible to get). I don't think the new regulation was a cost cutting measure, you weren't allowed to use the ammo anyway, so I don't see how the costs would make a difference. I think the main reason was to decrease suicides and gun violence by not having ammo readily available. --Novarupta (talk) 13:34, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  If it easy to buy ammo for your service rifle, then I would imagine almost everyone would buy a little ammo to keep with the rifle. So this appears to be one of those feel good gun control measures that have a very tiny effect at reducing gun violence. The US has similar laws in some states, such as banning some guns with flash suppressors, bayonet lugs, or pistol grips, while the same gun is legal without those insignificant features. Thanks for answering my questions. Mindbuilder (talk) 18:52, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Mindbuilder (is this meant to be an omen?), you possibly do not know it yet, but this is not the place to discuss your private opinions, conclusions, and assumptions, how right or wrong they may ever be, or to place any open questions about any subject you have no knowledge of. WP is not a forum (WP:NOTFORUM)! And especially stop implying anything here. WP is not a free speech message board (WP:NOTFREESPEECH). Quite to the contrary, if you want to be an author on WP then you are expected to have some knowledge about the subject, anything else makes no sense and is considered to be vandalism. So please stop producing your unsourced, freely speculating assumptions and allegations here. And in particular, stop changing text you obviously have no knowledge of. Thanks. -- ZH8000 (talk) 00:05, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  At the Gun laws in Switzerland talk page, ZH8000 says that you can't buy ammo for a service rifle if you don't own it or another private rifle of the same caliber. I could see in that case that a significant fraction of militia that have the rifle at home, might not keep ammunition at home. That could have some non-negligible effect on impulsive crime or suicide. I'm going to leave it at that for this topic. Mindbuilder (talk) 20:25, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

message: At the ending of the part with regards to the issue in the subdivision "4.5 The capital or Federal City issue" stands the following sentence: Terrorism in Switzerland has occurred periodically since the 1970s. Switzerland has experienced both domestic and international terrorism over the past several decades, though domestic terrorism was primarily low‐level violence.[78]. This has nothing to do with the issue at hands and is sorely misplaced methinks? Should this not be either removed or placed elsewhere within the article? -- fdewaele, 5 January 2018, 11:21 CET.

where the largest cities are to be found: among them are the two global cities and economic centres, Zürich and Geneva. 74.140.139.46 (talk) 03:31, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume the change is to add a comma after "global cities and economic centres". I don't really agree with this change. The comma suggests that the clause is non-restrictive. That is, it suggests that there are in fact only two global cities and economic centers, which are Zürich and Geneva, and I would argue that's not true.

message: The Link under the section "External Links --> Travel" needs to be changed to the English site (now it is linked to the French one, http://www.myswitzerland.com/en/accueil.html Tourism). Easiest would be to link to the generic main page: http://www.myswitzerland.com. Eichruss (talk) 08:01, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: The page that's currently linked, for which you provided the url above, gives every appearance of being in English. The French page is at https://www.myswitzerland.com/fr/accueil.html%20Tourism. RivertorchFIREWATER 18:01, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Some of the translated languages are incorrect. For example French would not say "Confédération suisse" but instead "Confédération helvétique" Alppierrat (talk) 01:42, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
