Ancient Egypt Low‑importance

Low

This article has been rated as Low-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.

Dark Brown, "not black"

I found this unprofessional and unnecessary and I took it out. Unprofessional because it does not meet Wikipedia or any other professional guideline for neutrality. Unnecessary because it is not addressing anything other than someone's assumption about what s/he thinks other readers may conclude that Maiherpri is black like a black person from which we currently understand. I do not see why that is a viewpoint that needs to be challenged, or preemtively dismissed. Based on what we can see is evident Maiherpri has skin darker than the average black person. We also as readers do not need a shephard to tell us how to think about skin color. I think Maiherpri was black, but if someone else sees this picture and thinks otherwise, that's their choice. Also the reference is vague and redundant in the article and does not really give any clarity to the statement.
