Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-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.

Cities

Proposed merge with Main deposit (Nekhen) edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge. I may have not waited long enough before carrying out the merge, but given how quiet this corner of Wikipedia is, we probably wouldn't have gotten any more input anytime soon. A. Parrot (talk) 04:57, 26 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

It would seem logical that the content related to a single archaeological deposit would be better described as part of the article on the main site. PatHadley (talk) 20:09, 23 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I agree. If this article were very lengthy, there might be a reason to have a separate article on the Main Deposit, but instead it's fairly short. The contents of the Main Deposit are undoubtedly the best-known finds from Nekhen (the Narmer Palette is almost certainly the best-known artifact from the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods) and deserve more detailed coverage here than they get. The palette and the two maceheads already have their own articles, so there's really no reason to have a separate Main Deposit article that further isolates Nekhen from the most important finds in Nekhen.

proposal to use the Egyptian name edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have edited the article for many minor changes and propose that we shift to using the Ancient Egyptian name consistently for the site, as our article is entitled, not switching back and forth between it and the name used by the ancient Greeks. A redirect is in place for Hierakonpolis and it is noted three times at the top of the article as an alternative name, so that should suffice for references to that name.

In case there is no objection, I went ahead and made the changes that would be required. Please do not reverse all of the edits if there is not -- I will restore the Greek name where I have changed it if that is the consensus. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 19:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
