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.

[Untitled]

This article gives no details about what the Heqanakht papyri are, when or where they were found, or what there context is in the long period of dynastic Egypt. I don't really think this is an improvement.

It's not, really, most of it is original research, and it's confusing as hell and goes off topic. Apparantly this is not an isolated occurrance either, see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Milogardner for details of other so-called 'improvements' to articles from the same user. -- œ ^™ 22:04, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's absolutely horrible. Nobody learns anything from this article. Just useless stuff.
