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.

This template is designed to display the names of Egyptian pharaohs in Egyptian hieroglyphs. It is specifically used for those who are mostly known by their two names: praenomen and nomen. For other possibilities, see Template talk:Hiero.

The parameters that are used with this template are:

  • {{{align}}} — sets the position of the template: left, center or right.
  • {{{era}}} — sets the colours of the template by predefined era: see Template talk:Hiero.
  • {{{name}}} — the name in English for the header.
  • {{{praenomen}}} — the praenomen in hieroglyphs with hiero tags - see Help:WikiHiero syntax.
  • {{{nomen}}} — the nomen in hieroglyphs with hiero tags.
