B

This article has been rated as B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

Low

This article has been rated as Low-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.

The Illegitimate Heir

Hi, my name is Walid Osama. I wanted to start a particular discussion which revolves around the topic of King Ptolemy XII's illegitimacy. As you all know, he was believed to be the son of a concubine, and ascended to the throne when no lawful heir was available. I am surprised at how profound this point must be, as this means the last family of pharoahs were unlawfully crowned. I want to know what you all feel about this.

Well, if you do indeed believe this, that's great. However, for Wikipedia's sake, you are going to need a reference so it is legitimate and not a view of yourself or group of people with no reasonable proof. Walid Osama, use the following format "==Header==" (ex. ==The Illegitimate Heir==") rather than your previous style when creating new talking points on the Talk page. And please sign all posts with the four tildes. Also, ptolemyxll, when replying to a comment, do not create a new section. Use the ":" key to indent and reply. Happy to help you if you need it.

References

I noticed that this article doesn't have footnote references of any kind. Something that should be fixed, but I don't know how to flag this article! Iprocomp (talk) 06:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
