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.

The Legend of Thessalonike

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Does anyone know the original source for the legend of her being a mermaid? The sources linked in the first sentence say nothing except that Thessalonike was a daughter of Philip. Nothing about being a mermaid or anything else. The rest of the paragraph is unsourced. I've been looking for this info for a long time yet could never come up with an original source.72.89.142.185 (talk) 21:46, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Discrepency between DOB on this page and on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicesipolis

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This page states that Thessalonike was born 353 or 352 B.C.; The page for her mother Nicesipolis states that Thessalonike was born 345 B.C. and her mother died 20 days after. Any thoughts on which is correct?Gemtwist61 (talk) 16:39, 24 April 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gemtwist61 (talk • contribs) 16:34, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
