WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Needed articles
- A page with a list of desired articles / wishlist
  - Current: Most nomes, government / administration or alternatively Organization of the ancient Egyptian State if those aren’t separate topics, State development in predynastic Egypt, Predynastic hunting, Kleinkönig (Egypt), Predynastic marine (egypt), and Disability in ancient Egypt
  - Redirects that could be articles: Economy of ancient Egypt
- Could also do with a list of articles that are in urgent need of some TLC
Needing attention
- Articles needing some TLC
  - Current: Fifth Dynasty of Egypt has a lot of details missing
- Project page could use some work, specifically the aimless links in the header. Whether those get directed to destinations or removed is up for debate
- The Religion work group has a separate To-Do that could always use some love
- All stub and start class articles, always
Misc
- Standardized chronology
  - Currently a difficult task due to the lack of consensus in the greater community over an accurate chronology, but definitely something to keep coming back to
  - In the meanwhile: it’s a good policy to have a survey of dates from sources in articles about time periods; for smaller mentions (ex. at the start of “Atenism under Akhenaten” here: “Amenhotep IV, the son of Amenhotep III, was crowned king c. 1353 BC.”) circa is your best friend
- Discussion
  - Creating a separate article for Predynastic Egypt from Prehistoric Egypt starting with the Badarian culture where many overviews begin
- Data sorting
  - Looking through sources for quotes and data that can be added to relevant articles

Could someone please fix how this page inappropriately uses Nubian and Kush interchangeably?

I'd do it myself but I don't feel like I'm a good enough writer. Kush spoke a Kushetic Language being who the language family was named after, the Nubians spoke a Nilo-Sahidic Language and didn't become the ruling Tribes of these regions till the the 4th Century AD. --JaredMithrandir (talk) 10:51, 4 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

I just replaced Nubia with Kush throughout. Nubia is the general term for the region in the historical literature, but I agree that it is too confusing since, during the Napatan period, the Nubian language and the Nubian people were not to be found there (so far as we know).

Thank you, good work. --JaredMithrandir (talk) 19:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
