High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

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.

Missing Informations

This article is mentioned in List of ancient Egyptian papyri, however the institution and ref# is missing in this list. Now in this article are a lot of references, some information about the excavations, but very little informations about the papyri themselves. Main topics:

A list of the most important papyri is missing
There are several findigs at different places of the site. Do they belong together or are they of different ages?
What happened to the fragments? Are they scattered over the world, lost and forgotten?
At least some of the material must be published somewhere and translated into modern languages.
First editors?
No text editions mentioned (broken weblinks?)
No institution mentioned, that keeps the fragments
No reference numbers of the libraries that keep the fragments
No information about the treatment of the fragments
Some of the Weblinks are broken
The importance of the papyri for research is not clear

So, whoever can add some information is welcome. --Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 09:09, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
