This article has not yet received a rating 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.

This article should be organized into sections and should more closely follow Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style. - JNB 21:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
As noted by some people not in RomanCiv, the importance of the subject needs to be clarified.
1. Why do we care about Dryton?
2. What do the articles reveal?
Links to other Wikipedia entries must be included (it also makes less work for you because some information can be found on the links and need not be repeated).
The article should be better organized and sections should be given titles
Sources:
1. Don't we need 3?
2. Primary source?

This article needs to be properly formatted and broken down into a clearly organized format.
The present location of the original archival documents should also be indicated.
Also, if there are any images relevant to the archive, that would help with the overall attractiveness of the page. -- User: Sbatra86
