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.

Old Nubian ≠ Coptic[edit]

Old Nubian is not written in a form of Coptic!! Prof. G. Browne the most accredited scholar in Old Nubian insists that the characters used by old Nubian where thoses prevalant at thoses times..A s such Greek,Coptic and Old Nubian used the same...

It has been fixed, I think; refer to Old Nubian language for details on the orthography. You, sir, are of course invited to contribute to Wikipedia! Kind regards, — mark ✎ 18:27, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Language or languages?[edit]

Especially when including the rather distinct Hill Nubian cluster, I think it doesn't make much sense to speak of the Nubian language. If no-one objects, I'll move this article to Nubian languages tomorrow. — mark ✎ 01:22, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

...and any help in subsequently fixing the thirteen links to Nubian language (i.e. making them point to the plural form instead) would of course be truly appreciated... :) — mark ✎ 01:33, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Ah, forgot this one. Just completed the move, fixed the redirects. Thirteen redirects are not that many now that Wikipedia is returning to a decent speed. — mark ✎ 20:20, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

"SESCO" or "ISESCO"?[edit]

There is reference here and in the Nobiin language article to "the extended SESCO system" of Arabic transcription. I have been looking for info on this and wonder if ISESCO (Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) is intended instead? They sponsored some work on extended Arabic orthographies.--A12n 20:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hamza El Din[edit]

Which dialect(s) of Nubian did Hamza El Din sing in in his albums and performances? Badagnani 20:19, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

section Orthography[edit]

The text of this section talks of "currently active" proposals but was written January 2005 - is this still the case? --Gruenman (talk) 19:57, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
