| 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.

There are 2 entries for him: see also Akhenaton. User:Olivier
[edit] Paragraph to be Deleted
"Although critics of the minimalist school of music often describe minimalism otherwise, many listeners find this opera powerful, emotional and extremely moving. The tragedy of Akhenaten's life and times is always present, if only in the background and every musical phrase is imbued with an aura of antiquity."
Who are these critics and these many listeners? This paragraph reads like a review. I'm going to delete it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.164.77.105 (talk) 06:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Technical Information
It would be nice to have an analysis of the music. Generally in Wikipedia articles there is no solid, technical information. It would be very helpful to have a useful musical article. Gingermint (talk) 03:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure what you mean. There is already a lot of infomation about the music in the article. What would you like to have included? -- megA (talk) 20:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
