WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Here are some tasks you can do:

Article requests: We should have an article on every pharaoh and every nome (law) in ancient Egypt. Let's check to see whether every important Egyptologist has an article. Surely, we can think of other articles that we should have.
Cleanup: To begin, most of the general-history, and at least some of the dynasty, articles badly need work. Are there any other candidates?
Expand: "Standardize the Chronology": This is a boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates! Why say Khufu lived between 2589 and 2566 BCE? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 BCE or 2585-2563 BCE.
Expand Ancient Egyptian philosophy
Infobox: Add an infobox or navbox to any article that doesn't have one yet.
Stubs: Anyone?
Update: Any article with dated (obsolete) information.
Verify: Fix / reclaim the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Wikify: "Data sorting": Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- the writings of Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, J. H. Breasted, or Kenneth Kitchen -- and see whether you can smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. This is probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts yet can't access a research library.

Hi Wikiproject members: I cruised on to the portal to find information on "Egyptians as presented in the Bible" (ideally correlated with research), but I didn't find anything as such. I'm possibly just using the wrong search terms, but on the off-chance this isn't covered, I'd like to recommend it as an article topic. Cheers Manning (talk) 05:23, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Merge?

Should Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels be merged with this page? I vote yes. TigressofIndia (talk) 15:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable to me. Yes. Cactus Wren (talk) 12:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Barbara Mertz should be the article, while Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels should be redirects. This is an encyclopedia, so we should use the author's real name. -- Imladros (talk) 13:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
