I'm not satisfied by the source of information here, I don't have access to Grimel's book. I want to know particularly the basis for "His records tell us that he was forced to fight a Palestinian prince who was mortally wounded by an Egyptian archer, and whose army was subsequently routed. Ramesses carried off the princes of Palestine as live prisoners to Egypt." |

Merge
This should probably be merged with Rameses II and one made into a redirect. Dates need to be straightened out? -- Infrogmation 07:22 23 May 2003 (UTC) he killed himself to kiss a angel — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.26.121.44 (talk) 03:30, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone know the source for his birthdate?
I haven't found the year of his birth in any of my 10 books. Which book did whoever put his date of birth of 1302 get it from?
How many years he ruled?
In the second paragraph it is mentioned as "and is known to have ruled Egypt from 1279 BC to 1213 BC[8] for 66 years and 2 months". How come 1279 BC - 1213 BC became 66 years. Shouldn't be 56 years? Please Clarify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.139.83.50 (talk) 07:44, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Ramesses I
Shouldn't Ramesses I be mentioned in the article, at least in some form? It just seems logical to me. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 06:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Ramesses II → Ramses II – I screwed this nomination up above, and I'm intending to re-nominate it for the same reasons. I'm suggesting that for this person, "Ramses II" is the common name. Britannica uses "Ramses II". (There are other ennumerated Ramses, but I'm not including those articles in this nomination as one user proposed in the previous discussion because it is entirely possible that the common name for each might be different.)

- Oppose We should at a minimum be consistent about this: They're the same dynasty; it's the same name. There is no reason whatever to spell it different ways in related articles, and imposing that minor confusion is a cost to the reader.
- Which spellings we should use in the entire set is another question. As the article will show, the contemporary pronunciation is a guessing game, but neither of these is the best bet. Which of the several representations in other ancient lanugages is most recognizable to somebody familiar with the subject is not clear; but the present title is as good as any.

- There's no reason the other ones couldn't be changed as well following any change; it would just need to be in a follow-up nomination. Since this person is the most written about of all the Ramses/Ramesses, it is the best place to start. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:01, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's hard to nail down the most common spelling for ancient Egyptian names; in many cases, including this one, I think it's a waste of time to try. But any source that uses a particular spelling for Ramesses II will apply that same spelling to other monarchs of the same name, so if one name is moved, they should all be moved. Essentially, I agree with Pmanderson, although being indifferent to which spelling is used, I'm not opposing outright. A. Parrot (talk) 06:26, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- What I disagree with is the use of the Britannica as some sort of benchmark. I'm not sure about the spelling issue at the moment. Dougweller (talk) 13:33, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- It was cited as an example and was not intended as a benchmark. I could have set out the standard google-type comparisons to show that Ramses II, is about 3 times as common as Ramesses II in straight-up hits, but I rather just made the statement that Ramses II is the common name.

First Syrian Campaign
I'm not satisfied by the source of information here, I don't have access to Grimel's book. I want to know particularly the basis for "His records tell us that he was forced to fight a Palestinian prince who was mortally wounded by an Egyptian archer, and whose army was subsequently routed. Ramesses carried off the princes of Palestine as live prisoners to Egypt."
