Ancient Egypt Low‑importance

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.

A fact from Loyalist Teaching appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 July 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that a papyrus containing the Loyalist Teaching scripture (pictured), dated to the second half of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, survives to this day?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/July.

Just stopping by to say great start, and thanks! //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 23:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

No problem! Even though I focus primarily on ancient and medieval Chinese history, I'm doing this as part of a larger project to rewrite the article Ancient Egyptian literature. Cheers.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 01:16, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
