Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-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.

Shishak

I have changed the redirect at Shishak to point to Shishaq rather than Shoshenq I, on the theory that this will be less confusing to readers. Feel free to discuss the change in this space. If you revert the redirect back, please justify doing so here or at Talk:Shishaq. Chick Bowen 04:46, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

File:Sphinx of king Sheshonk.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

An image used in this article, File:Sphinx of king Sheshonk.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations

What should I do?

Speedy deletions at commons tend to take longer than they do on Wikipedia, so there is no rush to respond. If you feel the deletion can be contested then please do so (commons:COM:SPEEDY has further information). Otherwise consider finding a replacement image before deletion occurs.

Dialogue

The dialogue from Raiders of the Lost Ark is incorrect, mainly the last quote. --DanielCD (talk) 01:26, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shawshank

Some information regarding the connection (or not) of this name with Sanskrit “Shawshank” (moon) would be adviseable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.93.208.34 (talk) 02:13, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Name in tifinagh

Shenshonqs Name in tifinagh should get added since he was libyan 91.59.127.17 (talk) 15:01, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Shoshenq" is not recorded in Numidian at all. Since modern uses of the name in Neo-Tifinagh are irrelevant (or as relevant as adding Chinese, Devanagari, etc. or any other writing system where his name is not attested in antiquity), there is no reason to do so as it would just clutter up the page.

Dubious

The sphinx of a King Shoshenq (Brooklyn 33.586) in the info box is not known to be Shoshenq I specifically. As noted by the museum, "the figure is inscribed for a King Sheshenq, but we cannot be certain which of the five pharaohs named Sheshenq is shown."

Well spotted. I replaced it with a drawing of his relief on the Bubastite portal. Lone-078 (talk) 21:29, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
