WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Here are some tasks you can do:

Article requests: We should have an article on every pharaoh and every nome (law) in ancient Egypt. Let's check to see whether every important Egyptologist has an article. Surely, we can think of other articles that we should have.
Cleanup: To begin, most of the general-history, and at least some of the dynasty, articles badly need work. Are there any other candidates?
Expand: "Standardize the Chronology": This is a boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates! Why say Khufu lived between 2589 and 2566 BCE? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 BCE or 2585-2563 BCE.
Expand Ancient Egyptian philosophy
Infobox: Add an infobox or navbox to any article that doesn't have one yet.
Stubs: Anyone?
Update: Any article with dated (obsolete) information.
Verify: Fix / reclaim the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Wikify: "Data sorting": Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- the writings of Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, J. H. Breasted, or Kenneth Kitchen -- and see whether you can smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. This is probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts yet can't access a research library.

[edit] Untitled

Anonymous user created a small article - now a redirect here Longimanus. But the aricle does not mention the name, please inclusde it here as you see appropriate–Gnomz⁰⁰⁷(?) 05:56, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

done, the bible backgound could be lengthened and there is a great deal of external information available... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.27.140.134 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Date of death 423 rather than 424

Badian From Plataea to Potidaea (1993) pp.79-80 argues that 424 is based on a misreading of Thucydides 4.50-2. 423 is supported by texts in the Murasu archive.

[edit] Name inconsistencies

"Artakhshastra" is used at the top, and in the text, "Artakhshasta" (without the 'r') is used as the transliteration of the hebrew. Are they referring to different things, or is one incorrect? Could someone please correct? --Storkk 22:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

OK. I see it's the persian that is being transliterated. My bad. --Storkk 12:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dehellenization

Being a rampant Hellenist, it pained me to change Themistokles to Themistocles. Yet, it is incongruous to have this being the one and only Hellenized entry on this page. Mfryc 21:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fratricide

His murder of his brother Hystaspes is not mentioned at all (mentioned at their father's article). — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 22:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Non Biblical information

A majority of this article describes the king through the lens of only the Bible - there's too much Bible and not enough information about his actual reign. This doesn't mean that the Bible section needs to be axed, instead, there needs to be another section based on his reign from a non religious standpoint. He was a Persian king - there's gotta be more information about his reign (such as the death of his father and the rebellions he faced throughout his reign). And any other information relating to his own religion - Zoroastrianism. -Jonathan
