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.
- 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] Well-kown
Philae became well-known for its son et lumière (sound-and-light show), which told visitors of the isle's history. This must be a post-1950 development, not a 19th century one. Even the term son et lumière, developed for evening presentations of chateaux like Fontainebleau. --Wetman 01:21, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- You seem to be right. I will remove the text in question, and adapt it to fit into the fact that the shows continue to this day. --Merovingian (t) (c) 12:38, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
When was the temple of Philae built? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.54.163 (talk) 15:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- What part of "The most ancient [structures] were the remains of a temple for Hathor built in the reign of Nectanebo I during 380-362 BCE" didn't you understand? 87.81.230.195 (talk) 17:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Photo's
Having previously illustrated this article with high res photos why are they now replaced with low res one's?Merlin-UK (talk) 10:00, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Seriously?
One photo. Two photos. There is no apostrophe.
Low res ones. There is no apostrophe.
Don't schools teach what apostrophes are for any more?
[edit] Add the hieroglyphs
The German Wikipedia is much better at giving hieroglyphs - but even it lacks them this time. Could someone add them for Philae (p'aaleq) to this site? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.172.251.105 (talk) 22:49, May 24, 2009 (UTC)
