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.

No mention of 1997 Terrorist Attack[edit]

Is there any reason for there not to be any reference at all to the 1997 terrorist attack at this site? It was quite "notable". 62 people were killed. At very least it seems there should be mention and link to main article: Luxor massacre --Petzl (talk) 20:51, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article has a clearly defined scope. The event has its own article as you've linked. Maybe a link belongs in see also, but otherwise it's an entirely separate topic that isn't discussed in the relevant literature. Mr rnddude (talk) 01:43, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict between article title and intro[edit]

@Mr rnddude: You just reverted my edit, so maybe you could help clarify this. Currently, the article is titled "Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut". The capitalization suggests that this name is a proper noun, which therefore should be used as rendered there. The infobox mirrors this capitalization. However, the introductory sentence renders the name in sentene case, making the article title seem happenstance and not a proper noun. This is a conflict; all three should use the same rendering, as the capitalization in the title effectively suggests the way the article is linked to from others (as seen, for example, at Deir el-Bahari and Luxor massacre).

In related articles (like Great Temple of the Aten, Luxor Obelisks, Tomb of Aegisthus, and Temple of Thutmose III), the titles are consistently presented as proper nouns in all three positions. Since I have no deeper knowledge about this topic (I came here merely to check the capitalization to use in another article I am currently writing), can you clarify whether the name should be a proper noun or not? If it is, the introductory mention should be capitalized as I did; if not, the article should be moved to mortuary temple of Hatshepsut and the infobox adjusted accordingly. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 14:08, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IceWelder - The easiest way to check whether a term is a proper noun is Ngrams. The majority of sources do not capitalize 'mortuary temple of Hatshepsut' in prose. For that matter, the temple of Thutmose III should also be lowercase. The article should not be moved to 'mortuary temple of Hatshepsut' though, but maybe 'Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut' as the first letter of a title should nearly always be capitalized. Whoever originally created the article used title case, though WP:TITLECASE indicates that titles should also use sentence case. I didn't know that either to be honest, I assumed titles used title case. Mr rnddude (talk) 14:34, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moving the article sounds good. I initiated a page move request. IceWelder [✉] 14:47, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
