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.

Needs a rename[edit]

Per is not the name of any hieroglyph in existance. The proper name would be pr. However, I don't know if even then pr is notable enough to have an article on it itself. Thanatosimii 19:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pr/Per[edit]

Even the starters, the very beginners of hieroglyphs, especially when they grab the modern dictionaries, will Understand... that Per = Pr. What is preferable is not up to me, or of concern to me. Both will continue to be used. (I assume.)

The following is the original list with the Per (hieroglyph)s. I assume this will not get vandalized. And the cabal terminology gets a whole new meaning when it becomes a "Wikepedia"–"Cabal". [But... if you can get away with it, the more power to U!]

Yes, even the starters will realize per is pr, however they'll also realize that per is incorrect. Thanatosimii 04:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There Is No Cabal (TINC). We discussed this at the last Cabal meeting, and everyone agreed that There Is No Cabal. An announcement was made in Cabalist: The Official Newsletter of The Cabal making it clear that There Is No Cabal. The words "There Is No Cabal" are in ten-foot letters on the side of the 42-story International Cabal Headquarters, and an announcement that There Is No Cabal is shown at the start of every program on The Cabal Network. If that doesn't convince people that There Is No Cabal, I don't know what will. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:39, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

hieratic equivalences please[edit]

I would like to see hieratic equivalences to the heiroglyphs - not just for Pr, but for all of them. (20040302 (talk) 23:06, 26 February 2016 (UTC))[reply]
