Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as Low-importance).

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.

Name[edit]

This is a great point - many of the places in database for Ancient Egypt don't have their proper Arabic names, just their transliterations. Markh 09:20, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Minor alteration[edit]

Corrected sexist comment in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greedo3000 (talk • contribs) 12:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles with unsupported titles[edit]

Is it really necessary to insist on the lower-casing of the definite article so emphatically? There are a lot of other Arabic names in Wikipedia which just go for capitalized "Al-". AnonMoos 03:09, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction about access to peak[edit]

The third and fourth paragraphs contain information that is contradictory. The bulk of the paragraphs is given to information about how to climb the peak. But tucked into the last of the third paragraph is this: "The climbing of the mountain is no longer allowed by the government of Egypt and is heavy patrolled by guards, cameras, and motion sensors." Notably, no sources are provided for any of the article, so it's impossible to know whose authority is being invoked here, much less how accurate it is. Unless someone wants to advocate for a different approach, I am going to combine the two paragraphs, and then add the odd sentence at the end, couching it as unreliable.
