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.

November 2015 content[edit]

@Jb3234:, did you write this content yourself just now? It's such a big contribution all at once, so I was wondering if you got it from elsewhere. Also, it contains numerous errors in spelling and formatting. Thanks. — Smuckola (talk) 00:08, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the errors are fixed. The information is correct from Dr. Hawass's website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jb3234 (talk • contribs) 13:43, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jb3234: No they weren't. I just fixed them. I meant to ask if you actually wrote it all yourself. And, no, a lot of the information is not on any of the given web sites. You gave a lot of specific quotations which don't exist on those web sites and which Google can't find. They need to be sourced immediately please. And please do clarify whether you are the actual author of this copy. You already uploaded a non-free image which was automatically deleted, so I must question where exactly you got this huge amount of text. Thanks! — Smuckola (talk) 21:03, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jb3234: Please answer thoroughly. Thanks. — Smuckola (talk) 19:13, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jb3234: The fact that you've repeatedly defaced this Talk page by blanking it instead of answering a basic question is a pretty good indication that you plagiarized this content or that it's your original research. Plagiarism is a severe offense anywhere but especially on Wikipedia. If you did write it and it is WP:OR original research which is not reliably sourced, then that's disallowed on Wikipedia. In either case, the content needs to be removed immediately. If not, then just kindly explain yourself. Either way, you need to answer this and clarify right away. If it is completely legitimate material, then you are in the best position to add proper inline citations for each claim because you are familiar with the material. It's really good material and I want the best allowable articles. Thanks. — Smuckola (talk) 17:31, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
