Ancient Egypt Low‑importance

This article has been rated as Low-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.

confusing

This article is sometimes confusing, almost to the point of being unintelligible (especially the Modern Betrò hieroglyph text: "City Plan" hieroglyph section). Original research?--Dipa1965 (talk) 21:18, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

That section was beyond repair, so I went ahead and deleted it. As for the rest of the article... I wouldn't mind deleting everything below the lead section too, except the last paragraph of the "Iconography" section. Or would that be too radical? Rest is either non-encyclopedic, original research, badly written or just plain rubbish IMO.--WANAX (talk) 23:53, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for responding. So it was not only me. I will proceed with what you suggested you suggested, also keeping the sentence I added about the word "Libya".--Dipa1965 (talk) 05:51, 4 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Just made other fixes as well. Please copy-edit if you can.--Dipa1965 (talk) 06:38, 4 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

This is one of the 1st articles I made for the category (my creation) Category:Ancient Egyptian palettes. Since Betro used this for "city-plan"....please don't disparage the author.!. .... And I have later renamed the hieroglyph: Townsite-city-region (hieroglyph)Mmcannis (talk) 18:14, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

The issue here was that the deleted text was essentially incomprehensible. Exactly what did Betro say about this palette? (do you have a page number?) In any case, original research is not acceptable in WP and I think we had a lot of it in the old version of the article.--Dipa1965 (talk) 21:14, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
