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.

¶ I made a very slight change in phrasing the reason for her suicide, as it originally seemed ambiguous, as if she had died while actually engaged in wrestling hand-to-hand with Octavian. Sussmanbern (talk) 05:01, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

occurred on either the 10 or 12 August 30 BC in I believe the the should be removed, as 10 or 12 August makes more sense unless it is changed to 10th or 12th.
while Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hitlon are more tepid by stating it was circa 12 August. suggest while Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hitlon state it was c. 12 August.

Pericles' comments

@Iazyges: has the review started? I can't tell. Is there something I should do right away? I guess it's good to know that there are no dead links or missing citations. Pericles of Athens^Talk 13:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@PericlesofAthens: Apologies on the delays, I've been busy IRL. I'll try my best to start/finish the other reviews within the week. -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:06, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Iazyges: are you still busy? Pericles of Athens^Talk 14:42, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@PericlesofAthens: Apologies for the long wait, I should have time now. -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 14:41, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Iazyges: excellent! I have amended the article according to your prose suggestions. Best wishes, Pericles of Athens^Talk 02:26, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rename?

Should this be moved to Death of Cleopatra VII to be in line with the articles on her early life, reign? T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 12:44, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
