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.

Needs Editing Bad[edit]

Someone needs to edit this page. It makes abso-fucking-lutely no sense. Measurements are explained by tables, not prose.

The problem is not the prose. The author mixes discussion of dimensionless values (like π=3.16...) with the discussion of the title value of dimension length³. A strong suggestion of cluelessness...

I agree — and I notice that this comment, now 11+ years ago, has had no effect whatsoever. Nobody reads the Talk sections, I fear. Anyway, the text is, in part, gobbledygook, quite incomprehensible; in part because it smacks of bad translation from some other language. (And this although I've been studying Egyptian for nearly 3 years now, so it's not like the poor reader who comes at this from complete ignorance, and departs even more bewildered.)
