[edit] Geographic Location (8-way)
I think {{Geographic Location (8-way)}} is an ugly gimmick. Do we decide whether to keep it here, or on the template talkpage? Indeed, the article is just plastered with other useless templates like {{La Francophonie}}, {{Germanic Europe}}, {{Latin Europe}}, it is really beyond me how people can enjoy heaping up these things. dab (ᛏ) 14:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moratorium Plus
"On May 18, 2003, Moratorium Plus asked about an extension of an existing law forbidding the building of new nuclear power plants." - What is Moratorium Plus? A magazine? A party? It's quite unclear. Can someone change this for clarity's sake? Iain 14:03, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- A moratorium is a timely limited law that forbids doing something. The Moratorium Plus was a constitutional initiative (Volksinitiative) that wanted to fordbid the construction of new nuclear power plants for 10 years. This time should have been used to find a better solution to energy problems. It was denied however by people's vote (58% No) in 2003. Nevertheless, no new nuclear power plants are planned. You can find all information about the Moratorium Plus initiative here: [1] (in German, English not available) -- Hakwea 2006-12-11 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.132.239.8 (talk) 13:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Schwingen, a Swiss variant of wrestling ???
What’s with this sentence in the "Switzerland Portal[2]"?
I mean Wrestling is a variant of Schwingen.
- what's wrong with it? the sentence is straight from the lead of Schwingen. dab (ᛏ) 09:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Placement of section edit links
This may be a function of my browser, but on *my* screen the edit links for both section 1 and section 2 show up right next to the picture of Zug - in the middle of a paragraph, rather than by the section heading. My first clue that something was wrong was when I initially had my browser window at less than full-screen, those 2 edit links were actually superimposed on the text of the paragraph! Somebody will know where a little jot is out of place, causing this to happen, but that somebody isn't me! <g> Thanks! -- Newbie Mpwrmnt 08:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
