Low

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.

Editing[edit]

I've edited this article according to Sir Alan Gardiner's Egypt of the Pharaohs (Oxford University Press 1961), and thus substituted the name of the king Neferkare by the cited Meryibtowe.

I also propose the merge of this article with the 9th Dynasty's, since like the 7th and 8th, these can't be separated and their content is basically the same. --SamaraDyva (talk) 10:41, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

– Recently the articles for the 1st–10th and the 20th–30th dynasties of Egypt were moved after discussion to a name format that capitalized the word "Dynasty". (See that discussion for the rationale for this move.) For some reason not noted in that discussion, the articles for the 10th–19th dynasties were not included. It was perhaps an oversight, but I raise it here in case there is a principled reason I am unaware of that these should be different than the others.

Support. The mighty eighteenth, Tutankhamun's dynasty, is the top dog here, so I ngramed it. Britannica and the Encyclopedia of World Biography both use upper case. Kauffner (talk) 06:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fun, but isn't this [1] better? Support. Dougweller (talk) 09:56, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first word is capitalized in the current titles just because the MediaWiki software requires it. But we can still ngram all the possibilities. Kauffner (talk) 11:35, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Consistency and predominant usage in reliable sources. Jenks24 (talk) 04:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
