• Make Basel a GA.
• Write History of Basel.
• Make Basel a FA.
• Establish WP:BASEL.
• Create Basel categories as needed.

• Should Bishopric of Basel redirect to Roman Catholic Diocese of Basel? Speyer, Strassburg, and others do not.
• Done: Now there's Prince-Bishopric of Basel
• Should the break occur at the expulsion of the bishop from Basel to Porrentruy? Or at Napoleon's creation of the Republic of Rauracia?
• Napoleon, I guess. That's when the bishop ceased to hold land, right?
• Bishop of Basel should redir to the Diocese article.
• A hatnote at the top of Roman Catholic Diocese of Basel should point to the historic Bishopric of Basel.
• Prince-Bishop of Basel should redir to the latter, the Bishopric.

• For categorizing, is the city of Basel always the same as the canton of Basel-City? When is it and when isn't it?
• What does DE Wikipedia do? See [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_(Begriffskl%C3%A4rung) Basel (Begriffserklärung)]
• For professions, I would consistently argue against continuing the half-canton dichotomy.
• According to the category page, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_from_Basel_(city) Category:People from Basel (city)] is supposed to include people from both half-cantons. Do we need "(city)" in cat name? There's confusion here.
• Category name changed from People from Basel in Sept '07, as part of a batch.
• Name change request in July '08 failed to achieve consensus. Only two of us commented.
• Query at the talk page for WikiProject Switzerland got bupkes.
• Another CfD query on 15 September resulted in name change to {{cat|People from Basel-City}}.
• Around December 2011 the category names changed to {{cat|People from Basel-Stadt}} and {{cat|People from Basel-Landschaft}}.

There is no "Basel" category. Sort by "Basel-Stadt," "Basel-Landschaft," or for historical articles, "Canton of Basel," "Prince-Bishopric of Basel," and "History of Basel."

• :Bishopric of Basel needs historical work

Rhine. Regio TriRhena or Dreiländereck.

The canton's official name is Basel-Stadt (Bâle-Ville). It's often rendered "Basel-City" in English, but the cantonal government refers to itself in English as "Canton of Basel-Stadt."

• Bettingen
• Riehen

The official English name of the canton is (or was) Basel-Country (Basel-Landschaft, Bâle-Campagne, Basilea-Campagna). It's often shortened to Basel-Land and its abbreviation is BL. In English it was (as of 2008) the "Canton of Basel-Country."

Historically this area was a dependency or fiefdom of feudal lords, especially the Bishop of Basel; then it became subject to the city as the Regio basiliensis or Baselbiet. It's German-speaking.
