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.

Causeway

I question the spelling of "causeway". Shouldn't it be one word? --Figsyrup 03:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causeway, yeah it should.. --NoNo 15:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Change type

Beautiful map, but... Arial? Something readable like Frutiger or Verdana would be better... 85.210.184.145 15:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)and it is 2575 and 2465 bc and it is mad ald and they even had sex in there and whent to there to hide from people[reply]

Settle down

Y'all are being more than just a little nit-picky about a tourist map produced in Egypt for English speaking visitors. Cheers 216.91.240.14 18:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

compass off slightly?

Is it just me or is the compass off slightly to the east? still a very good picture though--Chickenfeed9 20:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Construction date

Some of the oldest examples of construction date as far back as the pyramids of Egypt.--207.166.0.15 19:02, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
