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.

Does anyone else feel unease about the External Links being used in this article ? Markh 22:44, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Just merge the Thuya and Tjuyu articles. They're on the same person. Its a repeat article. Leoboudv (talk) 06:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Tjuyu → Thuya – Per WP:COMMONNAME, see e.g. Googlebooks ngrams here and display at Egyptian Museum File:Egyptian Museum, items from the Tomb of Yuya and Thuya 04.jpg Onceinawhile (talk) 11:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC) Onceinawhile (talk) 11:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support: I assume the page was titled 'Tjuyu' because that is what the Met Museum (currently) uses (it's a more accurate rendering of the hieros than Thuya). I've also seen her called Tuya and a Googlebooks ngram shows that is more common in modern times than Thuya BUT that would lead to confusion with the other famous Tuya, wife of Seti I. Thuya is a good, solid option :) Merytat3n (talk) 21:16, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
