message: four out of four title images show alpine idylls? I mean, nostalgia is all very well, but how about balancing this away a little bit from folklore and stereotypes? dab (𒁳) 17:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Novartis, looks too much like an advertising. What about "Bundeshaus" in place of Blocher and replacing Novartis with Aletsch. Look how we did that on :fr (well the layout has changed but there are some ideas if you want to replace your 4 pics). 85.2.79.72 22:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, the suggestion was a New Year's joke. I do like the look of French WP's portal of Switzerland, though the concept is different, featuring smaller images for each subcategory (politics, geography, history, etc.) Which ever way this portal goes, I agree with dab that the alpine idylls could be balanced out a bit. Specifically, more urbanity, at least some buildings or signs of civilization and/or technology, maybe a railway picture, maybe the Bundeshaus, as suggested by 85.2.79.72. I've been looking through Commons, but haven't found any clear winners yet. ---Sluzzelin 15:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

He lived in Switzerland from 1857 til 1884 and in South America the rest of his life (1929). So what is the right name for the artile and which one will become the redirect?--Stone (talk) 10:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:46, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
