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.

Untitled[edit]

Being that the only obvious deficiency in the 18th dynasty yet is Amenhotep II, Thutmose IV, and Amenhotep III, I'm going to do just a little shaping up of this article right now. To that end, I've added a whole lot of Citationneeded tags to the article. These aren't there because I doubt the validity of the statments in question (in fact I am certain they are true as I have read about them many times), but they are there because they do need to have citations, after all, and this points them out to any passers by (namely, you who reads this) who may or may not have better sources before I get mine later in January. The tags are mainly for "maintenance" purposes, if that's a good word to use, since I do not believe the statements to be wrong. Thanatosimii 23:41, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so I guess I did have the citations after all. So I've taken care of it. Thanatosimii 02:42, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

setem - a typo?[edit]

setem seems to be a typo but it is not obvious what it should be - can anyone figure out what it should be? (from Wikipedia:Correct typos in one click)
