High

This article has been rated as High-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.

Pugs, elephants, hermit crabs, and ligers were definitely not mummified by the Egyptians. Therefore, I am editing it. --76.126.102.42 (talk) 01:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem or copying from Wikipedia?

The presence of an end-of-sentence asterisk, which I have just removed, and wording in that section suggested to me that text in this article might have been copied, from a source that used an asterisk as a footnote symbol. However, searching found only this academia.edu article. That's extremely close to this article, and the first version of this article (in 2008) had the misspelling "immorality" for "immortality" that jumped off the page at me; however, the academia.edu article also misspells "Apis" "Abis", and that and other features were not present in this article when the Apis section was first added; and the academia.edu article only shows up in the Wayback Machine in 2017. So it is quite possible it has copied slabs of text from the Wikipedia article without attribution. However, it is also possible there is a common source, so I will leave this here to note the possibility. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:31, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
