This article has been rated as Low-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.

Untitled[edit]

Imyramesha is a military title, not a name. This should be renamed to Smenkhkare (13th dynasty). – Alensha ^talk 17:40, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yes, your are right, but in this case the title was used as proper name in a cartouche, there are indeed other examples where private individuals have this name as proper name (compare Ryholt, Situation, 221-222 with further examples). Semenkhkare is the throne name of this king. On Wiki for Egyptian kings, always the proper name is given. bw -- Udimu (talk) 18:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info, I didn't know he used it as a proper name. Can you add the cartouche? It would improve the article. – Alensha ^talk 18:20, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pharaoh[edit]

Kings of Egypt are popularily called pharaohs, but pharaohs is a term used later on. Secondly, the term pharaoh refers to a "great king", not the petty kings of the 13-17th dynasties who often were omitted from the official king lists.
