DYK for Egyptian temple
— HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   00:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Spectacular! How could such a gap have lasted so long?--Wetman (talk) 04:19, 9 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I saw your response on Wetman's page. Some former members (like me) discovered that there were topics -- like Ethiopia -- in worse need of attention. Had I not moved on, articles like Yekatit 12, Battle of Wayna Daga, & 1960 Ethiopian coup attempt would likely never have been written. Maybe some day, either when Ethiopian topics have more & better contributors, or I tire of writing about them, I will return to Egypt-related topics. But until then, please keep a watch over that corner of Wikipedia for those of us who can't. -- llywrch (talk) 22:45, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

I think that if you really wanted to promote this article to FA as you say you do, you could list the issue exhaustively and I could try to make the necessary modification. It could be done quickly.
 * I see. Just you know: I know this article well and know all (almost) sources of information as well. This to say that this part (of sourcing) should be instantaneous. In fact you can find them listed in most specialized articles already. What is needed is a quick copy editing afterwards :)

Hello, Parrot. Princess Maria Amélia of Brazil has been successfully promoted and is now a Featured Article. That would'nt have been possible if you had not taken your time to to review it and give your full support. I really appreciate that and I came here to let you know it. I mean it. I'd like to make a comment about something else, if you don't mind. I saw the thread you created in the FAC talk page and I believe you should review articles that either you are interested in the subject or that you have somekind of knowledge on the subject. There is no need to suffer so much and review 10 articls because 10 editors reviewed your FAC. Wikipedia is supposed to be fun... in a serious place. But still fun. Not a pain in the ass. You're doing great and I think you should keep like that. I'm leaving Wikipedia now, as I had some issues with an editor in the FAC of Maria Amélia which made me grow tired of this website. However, I don't want that to happen to another editors. Find frieds here, people who can back you up when you need or else, you'll be crushed when you face a clique. But I wish good luck and I hope you continue doing a great work as you have so far. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 12:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Yales Classical studies
Technically, it's a book series, and normally I would use the "series" field (as in here), however, in the cases where the volumes in a series do not have individual titles and do not form a clear multivolume work, the journal template seems appropriate (it's a much more frequent situation in the hard science than the humanities), at least, it fits the bibliographic data in a more natural way than the book one. I've seen that later volumes have separate titles, and for those I'd happily use the book format (especially as they have ISBNs, but even then it can get fuzzy, and in biology, many book series are still formatted as if they were journals). It's a bit of a judgement call, but I think the logic is sound. Circéus (talk) 17:02, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Egyptian temples were built for the official worship of the gods and commemoration of pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Within them the Egyptians performed the central functions of Egyptian religion: giving offerings to the gods, reenacting their mythological interactions through festivals, and warding off the forces of chaos. These rituals were seen as necessary for the gods to continue to uphold the divine order of the universe. Most of the populace was forbidden from entering temples' most sacred areas, but temples were still important religious sites for all classes of Egyptians. Temples are among the largest and most enduring examples of Egyptian architecture, with their elements arranged and decorated according to complex patterns of religious symbolism. A large temple owned sizable tracts of land and employed thousands of laymen to supply its needs. Some temples have become world-famous tourist attractions that contribute significantly to the modern Egyptian economy. Egyptologists continue to study the surviving temples, as they are invaluable sources of information about ancient Egyptian society. (more...)

Hi ! I see that you are an copyeditor, and thought that you might appreciate some help with finding and eliminating multiple links (or wikification) from the article on which you are working.

I case you're not aware, all you need to do is install the following script: importScript('User:Ucucha/duplinks.js'); onto Special:MyPage/skin.js, and you'll find a clickable link called "Highlight duplicate links" in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). It can be found both in normal view mode and edit mode. Press on it, and away you go! Have fun! --Sp33dyphil © • © 09:25, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Brief comment
The pharaoh Ahmose I Chronology is not 100% secure but it probably dates to the mid-or early 16th century BCE. He could have taken power...perhaps not at 1550 BC but perhaps 1539 BC if Thutmose II had a reign of only 3 years. Some people claim that the Thera tsunami is referred to in a stela dating to his reign...but it may just be a metaphorical description of the damage that the Hyksos caused to Egypt instead as you can see in a long book review written here on Kim Ryholt's book on the Second Intermediate Period. The thing is Thutmose III's accession is accepted to be in 1479 BC based on lunar dates and there is not much leeway to date Ahmose's time-line much before 1539 BC, I would think. Egyptian chronology is still not settled now that Horemheb's true length has been dated to 14 years and 1 month (not 27 or 28 years) based on a large cache of wine dockets found in his VOK tomb which date to Year 13 and 14 of his reign. (see Jacobus Van Dijk, New Evidence on the Length of the Reign of Horemheb, JARCE 44 (2008) pp.193-200) It is Ay's reign that is now a problem--he could have ruled longer than 4 years--as most of his monuments were destroyed by Horemheb when the latter king came to power. Manetho's supposed figure of 14 years and 1 month for Horemheb which was amended to 4 yrs and 1 month is likely to be attributed to Horemheb. Ay seems to have been missed by Manetho. Ay's tomb too was defaced by Horemheb's agents. Sorry but I'm not very active at wikipedia nowadays. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry: I meant to say above that "Manetho's figure [in his Epitome] of 14 years and 1 month for Horemheb which was amended to 4 yrs and 1 month [and re-ascribed by Egyptologists to Ay based on a Year 4 stela dated to Ay's reign] is likely to be attributed to Horemheb" himself based on the cache of Year 13 and 14 wine dockets found in Horemheb's VOK tomb. I have read Van Dijk's paper and virtually all scholars today accept its conclusions that Horemheb had a short 14 year reign and not a long 27-28 year reign. It also perfectly explains many things--the lack of clear unambiguous higher dates for Horemheb beyond a Year 13 wine docket previously found in his Memphis (non-royal) tomb--and especially the unfinished state of this king's royal VOK tomb. In contrast, Seti I had a reign of about 11 years and finished his tomb within this time-frame--but Horemheb had to devote the first few years of his reign to sorting out the corruption that was endemic among Egypt's state officers that Akhenaten created in his centralised state and the chaos he caused in his attacks on the Amun priestshood. He could only devote more time to his tomb later...but Horemheb died before finishing his own funerary tomb just like Tutankhamun. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:32, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Prince Thutmose was a Crown Prince?
It was Aidan Dodson who gave the information that Prince Thutmose was the Crown Prince of Amenhotep III in a 1990 JEA article. And this was from an inscribed document--the sarcophagus of Thutmose's cat which titled Prince Thutmose: "Crown Prince, Overseer of the Priests of Upper and Lower Egypt, High Priest of Ptah in Memphis and Sm-priest (of Ptah)." (not me or Dodson...who merely did the translation) So now a Crown Prince is not a Crown Prince and we are not supposed to believe the ancient Egyptians' words? Why would Prince Thutmose lie about this detail and inscribe it on such a minor item as his cat's sarcophagus? I find this somewhat puzzling. It seems more reasonable that Akhenaten was not originally Amenhotep III's intended heir but when Akhenaten's elder brother--Prince Thutmose--died, the king and Queen Tiye had to groom him for the throne but he had certain unorthodox ideas (for an Egyptian) about being pharaoh such as the idea of there being 1 supreme god and Egypt underwent a tumultuous 17 years under his rule which ended in near chaos. It was Tutankhamun, Ay and Horemheb who had to deal with his overcentralisation tendencies that led to massive corruption among a small number of state officials and a struggling state economy. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 03:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information. I was wondering where the Quirke source came from. Personally, you know my views here but its not a biggie. I just have to follow Dodson's translation of the cat sarcophagus and firmly believe he was Amenhotep III's crown prince for a while. But your new title for Prince Thutmose is fine here.

Peer review limits changed
This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.

While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.

If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:19, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

To answer your question on Kingdom of Blambangan speedy decline...
...well, it doesn't. At least, not by the time you got to it. =^_^=

I just checked the history of the article. What happened is that the author had replaced the db-nocontent template with, well, content, and then user:SDPatrolBot came in and put the template back. Repeat once, when the original author had ganked it again. So here, the author solved the problem, and in my opinion he was right, to remove an A3 speedy - though, the bot felt otherwise, evidently.

So long and short, I was right the first time, but the later replacement may be just a bug in the bot's reflex actions. Not sure how to fix that, as such a fix, from my perspective, could be overridden by filling the article with nothing more than gibberish.

High Priest of Ra
hallo, I saw you changed High Priest of Re to High Priest of Ra. I wonder whether High Priest at Heliopolis is even better. At Heliopolis Ra and Atum where worshipped and there are titles for the high priest at this place indeed confirming that the high priest there was for Ra AND Atum. bw -- Udimu (talk) 09:11, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * (answer to your reply on my page): the word by word translation of the title high priest of Amun is indeed: first god's servant of Amun, so highpriest of Amun comes very close. The main title of the high priest at Heliopolis is great one of the seers (wr mA.w), so the name of the deity does not even appear within the high priest title. However, the title great one of the seers has various variations, including: great one of the seers in Heliopolis,, great one of the seers in the temple of Re or great one of the seers of Re-Atum in Heliopolis. best wishes -- Udimu (talk) 18:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
By the way, you won't get edit conflicts if an Admin gives you rollback, which I have. You just see a button next to undo that says "rollback", which will automatically revert the edit for you. I'm pretty sure you qualify for it. Cheers! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 21:27, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Egyptian pantheon
Hello Parrot, from what you told me, I gather that you are the specialist of Egyptian religion around here. Well I noticed a ca. +8500 signs edit on the article Egyptian pantheon immediatly reverted by ClueBot NG, the bot having interpreted it as vandalism. I had a look at it and it is not so clear, it seems to a genuine addition to the article. Rather than putting back the edit myself, I thought it would be better if you, who knows about egyptian religion, find the edit to be indeed vandalism or not. (I am really not sure).

Infobox vs Hierobox
Sorry for spamming your talkpage, I think it is time we revert all pharaoh pages using hieroboxes to standard infoboxes. I have explained why in the project talk page, in particular, I found ways to do add as many names, translations and transliterations in the standard infobox as required, see e.g. Khasekhemwy. This is important as it was the sole serious argument for using hieroboxes. Tell me what you think. Iry-Hor (talk) 20:12, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Metternich stela
Hi. You'd mentioned that you were looking for someone in NYC to take a picture of the Metternich stela for the corresponding article. I visited the Met and took a few pictures of it, but the quality is not great. The lightning in the display room is rather dim and the stela is inside a plexiglass case that causes reflections. If you really want them, I could upload them, but it seems to me that an argument could be made that some of the images here, for example, could be used under the PD-Art rules, since the three-dimensional texture is minor, especially for the pictures of the hieroglyphic text. It might also be possible to consult with the Met staff about the copyright status of the pictures. - Eb.hoop (talk) 23:46, 21 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I uploaded the clearest of my pictures of the stela here. If you want to use it, please go ahead.  Otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete it in a few days. - Eb.hoop (talk) 04:10, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution. Could you please return to the article Hildegard Neumann and format your reference correctly. The instructions are at WP:CITE. Thanks. I've removed your edit for now. Thank you. Fylbecatulous talk 14:41, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I have made a user contribution name and will try again on it.

Hello. I noticed your work at Talk:Luise Brunner and Talk:Anna Friederike Mathilde Klein. you have enough information for a full article, you can submit it at WP:Articles for creation, although at the moment the pages you've created about Brunner and Klein don't look like viable articles. If you were a registered user I would suggest that you move these articles to a user subpage, but I'm not sure that unregistered accounts are allowed to have their own user pages. In any case, these articles shouldn't be on talk pages. Maybe it would be best for you to work on the articles in a Wikipedia sandbox and keep copies of your work on your computer until you're ready to submit an article for creation. If any of what I just said is confusing, you can follow the links I gave above or ask

Requesting help with print sources
Would you be able to help with the DYK review for Horus Sa? The article is using a bunch of online sources that appear to be much less substantial than they claim to be (and statements by the article's nominator compound my discomfort), and I'm getting almost no Google hits for the existence of Horus Sa. As a result, I'm starting to wonder if it might be an elaborate hoax, and it would greatly helpful to have input from someone with FA-writing experience, since I'm guessing that you'd have access to relevant print sources.
