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

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.

Inclusion of Keita, Gourdine Publication

The genetic evidence cited in this academic source was rejected on previous grounds because it was stated that the source was not published in a peer-reviewed publication. However, the authors list the journal ANKH and publication date 2019-2020 in the footnote sections. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327065612_Ancient_Egyptian_Genomes_from_northern_Egypt_Further_discussion

https://www.academia.edu/43955341/Ankh_n_28_29_JP_JL_Gourdine_SOY_Keita_A_Anselin_Ancient_Egyptian_genomes_pp. (The journal Ankh and the publication series n28-29)

As I’ve said at Talk:Ramesses III I see no evidence of peer review. Doug Weller talk 20:23, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reliability is not the default. Feel free to go to WP:RSN. Doug Weller talk 20:25, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The publication is also featured in another journal, Cahiers Caribéens d'Egyptologie, this is co-founded by one of the contributors, Anselin and is listed as peer-reviewed in the Keita study. http://www.culturediff.org/english/ccde.htm The journal also publishes Gourdine's 2020 article here in issue n24/25 (2020): http://www.culturediff.org/english/ccde24-25.htm

The Keita study states:

Egyptian Language

The Egyptian Language is made up of 3 other languages. African, Chinese, and Egyptian. The word Egypt its self comes form japan. Polizoma (talk) 14:22, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know the word “Egypt” originated in Japan? And if it did, were we the ones who named Ancient Egypt and did the Egyptians call their civilization something else? Because Africa and Japan are miles away from each other. FlapjacksWithStrawberryJam (talk) 18:27, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020

I am reviewing this very old FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. The FAC nominator has not edited in over ten years, and the article doesn't appear well tended. There is uncited text, MOS:SANDWICH of images, haphazard image layout and galleries, unused sources listed in the References section, inconsistency in citation style, and unvetted text as the article has grown considerably since its promotion. Listing at WP:FARGIVEN. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:48, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
