WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Needed articles.

We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have.

Cleanup.

To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates?

Standardize the Chronology.

A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)

Stub sorting

Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . .

Data sorting.

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library.

Firecircle (talk) 05:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC) I noticed that the only article in Wikipedia (that I could find) on this famous man was in French. When I had it translated, it only consisted of one line giving his place of birth, date, and the date of his death--nothing else. So I thought I would put together an article, fairly complete, in English. Firecircle (talk) 05:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Firecircle (talk) 04:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC) I'm wondering why Etienne Drioton's last name is not capitalized in the title above the article. I'm sure I capitalized it when I created the article. Can someone correct this? Firecircle (talk) 04:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mansoor and Amarna[edit]

The language in the Tell el-Amarna section gets a little heated, especially since the only source cited is from the Mansoor family. There is other scholarship on the subject that has a bit less bias, and the Mansoor collection's status is certainly not settled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.61.175.155 (talk) 21:09, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

Somehow I created this article without capitalizing Drioton's name. Wikized links to this article will not work. Someone please help. Firecircle (talk) 00:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. To rename a page, click the "move" tab at the top. - Fayenatic (talk) 09:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Firecircle (talk) 19:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks! I know how I made the error now, and will avoid doing it again. And thanks for the help on how to re-title. Firecircle (talk) 19:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
