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.

Proposed merge from Apollonopolis Magna[edit]

Much of the information on Apollonopolis Magna is outdated and needs to be rewritten. I propose incorporating the salvageable text into a section on 'The ancient city', as was done in the Esna article. Based on incoming links this does not appear to present any stylistic differences with the other articles on Egyptian cities or history. -- Meersan 02:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who cares about the French spelling?[edit]

I don't see how it would be very relevant. Especially when it's just the normal change of u -> ou.

Maybe it is useful for the page getting indexed with the alternative spelling --Stegop (talk) 06:48, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Links[edit]

I removed the link to http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edfou, because the French page has less info than the English one. I was also tempted to remove the links http://penso.altervista.org/egitto/foto.htm#edfu and http://www.fallingrain.com/world/EG/16/Idfu.html , as they look quite irrelevant to me. --Stegop (talk) 06:48, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
