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.

It is requested that a photograph be included in this article to improve its quality.

5x expanded by Dudu90 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:14, 29 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]

At only 1,299 characters, this article is too short to be featured at DYK. It also was not 5x expanded; it was taken from 372 characters of prose to 1,299 characters of prose, which is less than a 4x expansion. If the article meets the nomination criteria at a later time, it can be renominated. Armadillo pteryx 23:40, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For a five times expansion, it would have to end up with at least 1860 prose characters, which is just 561 more. Dudu90, do you think you can add that much more to the article? (You may use WP:DYKcheck to determine prose size.) If you do so, this nomination may proceed without the need for a renomination. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:25, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's been a week. There has been no further expansion of the article, and no response from the nominator to either the ping or the note on their talk page. So, I'm restoring the original reviewer's rejection of this nom. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 05:01, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wahtye could be the tomb of the Isrealite Joseph&

In the Wikapidea description it says that he was the priest of God singulare and that he was in charge of the Kindom of Egypt. Food for thought. TomasButters (talk) 18:27, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
