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.

Untitled[edit]

I'm removing the Gay/lesbian/bi category tag as the article doesn't mention anything about this; if someone wants to provide some evidence to put in the article, I'll have no objection to its reinsertion. Binabik80 05:04, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Lesbian? That would be interesting. Alexander 007 20:46, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Without doubt ;-) Sadly, I believe the guy who placed that category was only joking, unless he had spoken directly with Meleager's spirit Aldux 21:26, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

he was probably a Xena fan. Lonepointe (talk) 02:48, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why this article has been tagged as being part of list of Ancient Egyptian-related articles? While he was part of Alexander's conquering forces, there's no mention of Ancient Egypt in the article. Is there something still to be written about his involvement in the conquering of Egypt maybe?
