Raneb
Thank you for the feedback. I'm keen to improve the quality of the drafting of a number of the Ancient Egyptian articles in Wikipedia, particularly those relating to biographies ancient Egyptian kings, queens and other notables. However, I'm not an expert on ancient Egypt -- rather I'm a person with a general interest in ancient Egyptian history. So any suggestions you or other contributors would like to make to improve the factual accuracy and relevance of the material in these articles is great to see.

 * Hello there -- I just want to help too! I can't claim to be an Egyptological scholar either, just someone who has read a lot about the subject, and has also been around Wikipedia for a long time (6+ years as an editor). Thanks for stepping in and aiding with the edits on Raneb and other early dynastic pharaohs. The work that Nephiliskos has done is also great to see -- I just wish his English was better (or my German). ;-) I plan on spending some time on the weekend going over the additions that he has made, and seeing if I can aid in expanding them a bit further.

Hi, Captmondo!^^ I wonder if it made sense to discuss the new hiero-boxes I used to present the names of the early kings. I see some problems with the older boxes:
 * No horus-name, no gold-name, no nebtj-name... NOTHING. The old boxes give no useful information, and if so, these informations are redundant, incorrect or incomplete.
 * The old boxes call upon the mommahs and poppahs of the early kings. This is highly problematic, since Egyptologists are pretty unsure about any interfamiliar kinships. Few exception are queen Meritneith and queen Hetep-herj-nebtj (the mom of Djoser). Their names appear on seal impressions, together with their titles declaring them as king´s moms. Yes, I know, the Palermostone calles some king´s mommahs, too. But their identities are questioned, because their names do not appear in the early dynastic tombs.
 * The German boxes I use beat us the opportunity to present all important names of the early kings in words and signs. In german Wikipedia a broad palette of different hiero-boxes also give the chance to even sho titles and rare name forms.

It´s not about meh, ok... I rlly just wonder if it was possible to introduce and use the new boxes instead of the old ones. I´m sure that you will agree with meh after taking a closer look tot it.
