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.

Name given by whom?

I believe that this anonymous edit may have been a bit rushed/sloppy.

In my understanding, it was not, strictly speaking, a name given by the Greeks but rather a Greek rendition of whatever the name used by the locals was. After all, this "pet-" prefix which is claimed that it means "son of" is not Greek and "Σούχος" was the greek rendition of the name of the respective deity. Could someone with better background on the subject please make the edit. 89.155.98.231 (talk) 03:16, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, surely the article should be "Petesuchos" too, with the e seen in the given Greek form. The Egyptian would presumably be pɜ-dỉ-Sbk "Gift of Sebek." --Iustinus (talk) 04:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
