Talk:List of pharaohs

Transliterations
The transliteration system used here seems to be fairly inconsistent (but this is Egyptology, so I'm not surprised) – cf. Ra vs. Re, User vs. Weser etc. Perhaps we should add the transliterations of the original Egyptian names, to make it more clear what the originals would have been (except maybe the Ptolemies and the Persians, who have names that aren't in Egyptian at all - but this could get inconsistent in the Late Period fast). If anyone has a reputable source reconstructing names, I'm happpy to do the slogging myself.Zenzic-Eváristos (talk) 22:28, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Aba?
Two websites (dictionary.sensagent.com and creationwiki.org) list a king Aba that reigned for 4 years and 2 m0nths. the websites king lists are almost identical (sensagent separates thamphthis from djedefpta for some reason). They both even list a lost king after him. 'Aba' and the unnamed king are both before merenre II and after nefer. Emmanuelbruh (talk) 01:08, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Article Issues and Improvement, July 2024
Over time it seems the article has accrued rather a few issues. It would benefit from a structured approach to improvement.

Since this article is listed as one of high-importance to several Wikiprojects, I think an appeal for a consensus is the best way forward. I have spent some time identifying what I feel are the main concerns and proposed some ways that they might be handled, and I've compiled them here, because it's pretty long to clog up the talk page with.

I can testify my willingness to work on any/all of the issues, but I would rather wait to see if there is any strength of feeling surrounding the future of the article.

Please, feel free to contest proposals or suggest additional ones. Neatly95 (talk) 22:52, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
