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.

>>>>Twosret took the throne for herself, assuming the role of a Pharaoh and the titulary of a Queen (King's Wife).

This information is simply wrong. Twosret was 'great king's wife' under Seti II. When she became Pharaoh = king of Egypt, she took over the full titles of a king. However, there is no monument, where she appears as 'king's wife' and 'Pharaoh' (Pharaoh means the five titles and names of a king) Udimu 4.10.2005. 8.55

OK, I just thought it wasn't logically inconsistent. Thanks for clearing that up.--Pharos 23:52, 5 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Twosret or Tausret ? How are you deciding the spellings guys?

The result of the move request was: MOVED. Tausret has been demonstrated to be the most prevalent spelling of the subject's name. (non-admin closure) Toadspike [Talk] 13:06, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Twosret → Tausret – While looking through sources on this person, it seems as though "Tausret" is actually the most common way of spelling her name. For example, in Google Scholar, "Twosret" gets 155 results,[1] while "Tausret" gets 568.[2] In contrast, of the other possible spellings, "Tawosret" gets 324 results,[3] and "Tausert" gets 396 results.[4]

It seems as though "Twosret" is actually the least common way of spelling her name in reliable sources. As "Tausret" appears to be the most common, I am requesting we rename this page to that. Grnrchst (talk) 10:00, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
