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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Joseph king dreams.jpg

Image:Joseph king dreams.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Biblical Comparison

It'd be interesting to see a comparison between the film's adaptation of the later chapters of Genesis and what the actual Bible says about Joseph; kind of like the comparison section that they have on the Prince of Egypt article. Invmog (talk) 23:39, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems silly that the Biblical Comparison section has been flagged as original research when the same could equally be said of the plot section. Since both sections are simple matters of plain fact, not matters of opinion, why are references needed? This takes me back to my maths essay when my tutor kept asking for references for things that I'd simply proven algebraicly - NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS A REFERENCE! 94.193.214.181 (talk) 20:57, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where to begin? It's VERY different from the biblical account.--81.141.175.90 (talk) 01:22, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Marshall Goldberg

The "Marshall Goldberg" who wrote this movie is not the same Marshall Goldberg who played football for Pitt. The Marshall Goldberg ^[1]who wrote Joseph King of Dreams^[2] is about forty years younger and did not play football for Pitt -- though he did, in fact, play football for Harvard^[3]^[4]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.171.107 (talk) 05:54, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Trailer

I remember watching The Road to El Dorado VHS when I was a kid and there was a Joseph: King of Dreams trailer attached to it and the narrator specifically says that Joseph was "the next in a series of classic stories". I have the trailer in another tab but you guys have blacklisted YouTube so I am not sure how to link it or to prove it. Tyler Michael Mannix (talk) 02:07, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for Improvement

I personally enjoyed this film growing up and would love to suggest a few ways to improve this article. My suggestions are as follows:

- I would like to see more comparison to the Bible as has been mentioned by other users. Joseph is an original biblical story and you noted ministers were on staff in the production of the film. However, there seems to be more comparison to its sequel, The Prince of Egypt, than its predecessor, The Holy Bible

- Having a stronger lead is definitely an improvement that needs to be made. The introduction is fairly short and lacks well-rounded explanation of the film. A simple way to do this would be to summarize your major "points" or sections and expand on a few more important ideas. (Ex. general overview of critical response, production, etc)

- Using more specific language would be more effective than referring to unnamed groups of people. This is especially noted in the section, "Critical response". For example, you write, "Many noted that the animated hieroglyph effects were similar to those from Prince, and suggested that the film stuck closer to the Bible source material than the previous film had." This statement is vague in that it lacks a footnote or source of information and "many" is an inherently vague term.

- Overuse of long quotations undermines credibility and puts your article at risk of plagiarism. Many long quotes are used throughout the article that could be paraphrased and often, they don't stand as evidence for a clear point so their relevance is unclear.
