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.

Missing Characters?

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

It would appear that 130B characters 8, 9, and A are missing from the chart. Would this be due to what those characters are meant to be, resulting in a lack of implementation due to concerns of inappropriateness? 24.144.62.191 (talk) 19:36, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

No, WP:Wikipedia is not censored. The problem is your OS provider (Microsoft?): some prude decided for you what it is that you may see. See "12 Egyptian Hieroglyphs of People and Their Body Parts". The Collector. (section 7). [afaIcs, Google Chrome on both Android and Chromebook displays ok, so presumably it is just Ms Windows.]

Can you see D52, D52A, D53 at Gardiner's sign list#D. Parts of the human body and List of Egyptian hieroglyphs#D? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 20:45, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Rotation variants not rendering for me?

Latest comment: 9 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi - I've added a table with the rendered rotational variants using the html entities - e.g. 𓂓︀ but it's still rendering as the standard variant with 0° rotation.

Have I done something wrong with the HTML, or is it just my browser being silly? Timtjtim (talk) 20:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Probably a font issue. I'm not sure if any fonts support variation selectors yet. DRMcCreedy (talk) 00:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
