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.

Slavic color

Slavic infobox should use red color (I propose #ce1720). Red color is imporant in slavic culture: rushnyk, slavic priests used white and red clothes, look https://rodnovery.ru/, folk costumes used a lot of red color, there was red paint on Zbruch Idol, etc. Sławobóg (talk) 13:43, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata

Some editor had vandalized the template so that it would continue to display images (chosen by AI) from an outside site (Wikidata), even if no images were provided as template parameter. It was causing immense issues at Asikni (goddess) where I intended the template to not display any image. I have reverted the change. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:35, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TrangaBellam: This was not vandalism. The wikidata call to retrieve an image was added in March 2018 and has been stable since then. You should have posted a question here before making this change to the status quo. I suggest that you revert your change and start a conversation here. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:47, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A call for discussion was floated but the proceedings were not respected. TrangaBellam (talk) 10:17, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Equivalent limit need adjusting

Any infobox using more than 2 equivalent types shows as an error, and yet the code allows up to 6 equivalent types. This needs fixing. --WizWheatly (ftaghn) 09:55, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
