"Old Town: The historic center looks as if it had been bombed in WWII, which was not the case. Still, some historic buildings remain, most of them being abused by commercial purpose. "
Also, I would like the author to explain the relevance of "Bank Wegelin, the oldest bank in Switzerland, founded 1741 mainly on slavery-based profit. " or remove it.

However, the relevance of Bank Wegelin as a historic building is generally questionable. From the architectonic point of view, the structure has no extraordinary significance. And, by the way, the house isn't called "Bank Wegelin" but "Nothveststein" and was only built in 1802.

Now, that is something really annoying to see: The only correct spelling of St.Gallen is St.Gallen. This holds for its Standard German as well as its international name. (Its local name in local language ( Swiss German) is 'Sanggale' and the English name is actually Saint Gall. But that is all off topic). Now that's actually all I have to say. The misspelling of 'St. Gallen' instead of St.Gallen might appear neglectable to some people that couldn't tell the difference between Sweden and Switzerland anyway. But it is strikingly ignorant, just plain wrong (Who would say Man Hattan?) and an insult for anybody who can find St.Gallen on a map. Such flaws are particularly unacceptable for an encyclopedia.

Q. Where is the outdoor show jumping arena in St. Gallen? no mention of it in the Sport section. also the Sport section is very basic, needs improved. The 1987 European Show Jumping Championships were held in St. Gallen. Individual gold medalist horse & rider were one of the greats, " Jappeloup (SF) " ridden by Pierre Durand. The pair went on to win Gold the next year at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.154.100 ( talk) 02:28, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
