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 am new to this so I may not be doing it right, but I'm trying. I edited out a German website reference which I had earlier introduced--then the "clean up" notice appeared. It caused the reference page to have 2 types of references, which may have raised the "clean up" alarm. Then I changed the assertion that only one person had claimed to have seen the original Tulli papyrus (factually incorrect) to three persons. I managed to include factual and documented information without using the German website. I hope this is satisfactory. Thank you.Firecircle 22:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rachewiltz translation

Hello, the "Racheviltz translation" in this page is very different from the real Rachewiltz translation published in Doubt magazine n.41, 1953 (see: http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/6292/doubt411953p214vs0.jpg ) For this reason I change the text following the printed article by De Rachewiltz. --Milo Temesvar (talk) 23:22, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

July 2017

I have removed large portions of WP:OR cited to sources that do not mention the subject, as well as much uncited speculation, rumor, and unreliable WP:FRINGE sources. Essentially, the topic is an anecdotal story published in a long lost issue of the Fortean Society magazine by someone who claimed that someone else said they once saw a papyrus that described an ancient UFO sighting. A search reveals zero reliable sources that are reliable and independent of UFO believers. The sole reliable source is a Fortean Society journal describing the article in Fortean Magazine. Unless multiple reliable and independent sources can be found, this topic fails WP:N for a stand alone article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:29, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I located and added a NYT source (passing mention of the subject) and a paper by Edward Condon. Enough for a stub, but still not quite enough sources from which to build an entire article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 00:54, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, great work. But I agree about it not being enough. Redirect somewhere? Doug Weller talk 15:05, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Could be merged to Erich_von_Daniken#Book_of_Dzyan_and_Tulli_Papyrus. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:22, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doubt issue

I managed to track down the specific issue of Doubt this was mentioned in, #41 on the Wayback Machine, is there any way to insert this without it coming off as awkward?--Amelia-the-comic-geek (talk) 15:24, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
