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.

Moved from article[edit]

I moved the following message from the lead section of the article:

The purpose of this page is to serve as a means of a) tracking all articles that have been tagged as being of interest to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Ancient Egypt, and b) so that changes to these articles can more easily be tracked for changes (including vandalism).
Verner, Miroslav, The Pyramids – Their Archaeology and History, Atlantic Books, 2001, ISBN 1-84354-171-8 To be included on this list, the discussion page for a given article must contain the Ancient Egypt Banner.
As of the last update, there are 2,301 articles (plus related category and template pages) are in this list.
The following is not an auto-generated list, and ought to be updated semi-frequently. Feel free to add individual articles to this list (preferably in alphabetical order), or ask Captmondo to run an update if it has been a while since the list was last updated (for periods of not less than a month).
(Please note that I am aware of there being a few "red links" with this last update; I have investigated and haven't yet sorted out why they do not link properly. If you are able to fix these, please let me know what you did so that I can incorporate the change into my next update routine).

This is a very useful index article, and needs an actual article lead, per WP:SRTA. The Transhumanist 21:09, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed DAB links[edit]

I just finished editing out all the links to disambiguation pages. I got rid of several by listing articles found on the dab pages in the index (if they weren't there already). Others were clearly meant to link to the dab pages, so I changed the link to have the word "(disambiguation)" added to the title. That is a redirect to the dab page, so that the link itself is not counted as a link to a dab.

Please check over my edits to be sure I didn't mess up anything; I know pretty much nothing about ancient Egypt! I am in awe of those of you who do. - Gorthian (talk) 06:43, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
