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.

Tombs[edit]

maybe a list of tombs should be added after locations? including (besides kv55) kv 54, kv57, wv22, wv23, wv25 (?) and the amarna royal tomb. --!linus (talk) 21:48, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List structure[edit]

Apologies for unintentionally messing around with the template's internal list structure (happened during a recent edit, that was only supposed to change 1 tiny detail). I have restored all lost parameters and the special "Children" layout as sub-field of "Family". The list structure is now a bit more compact, but the functionality should be unchanged from the "original" version. GermanJoe (talk) 14:48, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
