Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-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.

Cite

I think those last two sentences need a citation, not to mention some grammmatical assistance.Cotemaltayle 12:57, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I added a tag, though it may look to some people like I was only asking for one sentence to be cited when I meant the whole paragraph. I just didn't want the clutter. - Cyborg Ninja 13:43, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}} The coordinates need the following fixes: When visiting Alexandria - I trusted Wikipedia and wandered off into the wrong part of town.

The correct coordinates are 31°10'42.81"N 29°53'34.63"E

Please update Wikipedia. Thanks

Howard Carteeeore

Hello wikipedians. I was fortunate enough to travel to the catacombs in late 2023, and during my visit I was told how the main shaft was discovered by a donkey who, tragically died. This donkey made an incredibly important archaeological discovery, going so far as to give its life for the pursuit of archaeological advancement. To honour him, I have given this brave equine explorer a name, "Howard Carteeeore". 120.159.188.4 (talk) 13:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
