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.

External links modified (January 2018)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Medjed (god). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150417192941/http://blog.britishmuseum.org/2010/09/22/what-is-a-book-of-the-dead/ to http://blog.britishmuseum.org/2010/09/22/what-is-a-book-of-the-dead/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Stub vs excessive information

I have had an edit to this page reverted for "excessive information", but the page is listed as a stub. Should the stub listing be removed if additional information is to be considered "excessive", or do other editors have expanded edits in progress?

I think there's room for substantive information about the god's portrayal in media, such as summaries of analyses of media observers. But mere mentions in the vein of "he appeared in video game X" are generally discouraged in Wikipedia as accumulations of trivia. Sandstein 17:00, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 3 November 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. (non-admin closure) Colin M (talk) 21:40, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Medjed (god) → Medjed – Clearly the primary topic with far more pageviews than the fish. Disambiguation page unnecessary per WP:TWODABS. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 15:22, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support. A. Parrot (talk) 15:23, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I'm not sure if it counts exactly, but medjed is also a group in the Persona 5 video game, and a switch game [1], [2]. So, there could be scope for a disambig... But these things are all named after the egyptian diety. This is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:06, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Persona 5 reference could probably be added to the "Internet meme" section if it was renamed "Cultural impact". As it's explicitly related to its popularity in Japan as a meme, Medjed being a supposed hacker group and all._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 01:23, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. bd2412 T 19:54, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Duplication of information

The two sections, Book of the Dead and New Kingdom "Papyri", essentially duplicate the same information from different aspects. Both are quotes from the Book of the Dead, with the second one simply being slightly longer. I have the Budge book which is one of the references. The book is based on the Papyrus of Ani, which Wikipedia itself admits is a New Kingdom text. This is the 17th chapter/spell, as mentioned in the other section. I hate to make a stub article shorter, but there is absolutely no reason to keep both these sections.
