Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as Mid-importance).

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.

Arabic Translation[edit]

User:Markh started this page by adding the following template:

ع

This article is about a person, place, or concept whose name is originally rendered in the Arabic script; however the article does not have that version of its name in the article's lead paragraph. Anyone who is knowledgeable enough with the original language is invited to assist in adding the Arabic script.

For more information, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Arabic).

Heryshaf was not "originally rendered in the Arabic script." Egyptian ≠ Egyptian Arabic. Given that Modern Egypt uses Arabic, an Arabic transliteration might not be uncalled for, but it's certainly not necessary. --Iustinus 13:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean is that Ihnasiyyah al-Madinah needs to be transliterated into Arabic script. Markh 15:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

oooooh, ok. That's definitely worth getting. The template text seemed to refer to the title. --Iustinus 18:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually reading the template, you are right. We should be able to flag the phrase that needs to be transliterated. Markh 19:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
