For more than one year this article has hardly been renewed with anything profound, nor does the current article have any special appealing message or enlightenment. This article is pretty far from current events nor is it a shining example of a wiki standard article. Yet this article suffers from non-stop vandalism, - actually it is near the only edit going on, on this article for more than one year. ???? Because of the consistency I can only imagine that is 1-2 max 3 persons doing it over and over again. It is noting wild, but is steady and consistent. There is not a month that does not have its 5 rv or more. My proposal is to permanent lock this article for anonymous edit, and instant permanent ban any new user that vandalise this page. This article is never going to be anything reliable, with these, excuse me, idiots, every 2nd day vandalising it. Just my 2 –cent. Twthmoses 01:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

needs improvement
This article needs serious work. A lot of unsited information. And a large part of it is old-fashioned in tone. What the article should do is serve as an organizatinal map for other more specific articles. Brosi 14:20, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
This page has been vandalised im am going to revert to the previous version but i think we should lock the article for editing from the general public —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Loosen Up (talk • contribs) 06:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC).

Britannica
I've uploaded some [now] public-domain diagrams from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition. Each image has a detailed description...

...Could these be useful to this article? - Eric (talk) 10:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

TRANSLATE
Thank you for your time and energy! Could someone please translate the word "Architecture" into Ancient Egyptian for me? I have looked elsewhere on the internet but all I find are Hieroglyphs. I am looking for how to say it as an English speaker phonetically.

Vandalism removed
I have reverted to what seems to be the last good version of this article. I am going to watch this article, as it seems to be prone to being vandalized and left that way for long periods of time. Brianyoumans (talk) 19:43, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Plagiarism?
I found the following in the New World Encylopedia:
 * as early as 2600 B.C.E., the architect Imhotep made use of stone columns whose surface was carved to reflect the organic form of bundled reeds
 * - https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Column

This is almost word-for-word what is currently in the article. Who is plagiarizing whom? -- 165.204.84.11 (talk) 20:09, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

More work needed
Posting this as a general encouragement to other editors with more specialized knowledge who can contribute here. I've made some small generic revisions throughout the article and I've added some very bare-bones summaries of important subtopics like Saqqara, the Valley of the Kings, and the Greco-Roman period, using general references. My hope is that these and other sections can be further fleshed-out and expanded. Citations also need to be added or improved in many areas.

Lastly, there are manyf aspects of the topic which are still not covered, such as the Middle Kingdom period, other parts of the Theban Necropolis, etc. As this is an overview article, all that's really needed are reliably-sourced summaries for these various subtopics, which can in turn direct readers to other articles for further information.

PS: I also note that the Egyptian temple article has been turned into a featured article, so it may contain some useful material that could be adapted for use here. R Prazeres (talk) 06:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
