Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-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.

I added the word reports (?); one word belongs there, I used the all encompassing word "reports". Michael McAnnis,YumaAriz.Mmcannis 02:51, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Move

This page was recently moved to Autobiography of Ahmose, son of Ebana, on the grounds that the figure isn't notable apart from this text. Simply because a figure is only known through a single primary source doesn't mean he lacks the notability to qualify for his own page. We know several pharaohs through the Turin Canon only - we don't redirect their pages to the Turin Canon. Moreover, this is the name he would be found under in an Egyptologial encyclopedia.

Pharoahs are rulers and therefore notable.

Ahmose is not, alone, notable (if you disagree, please explain). The focus on his tomb is because of the information his autobiography has provided to historians.
