This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

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

>>>>Twosret took the throne for herself, assuming the role of a Pharaoh and the titulary of a Queen (King's Wife).

This information is simply wrong. Twosret was 'great king's wife' under Seti II. When she became Pharaoh = king of Egypt, she took over the full titles of a king. However, there is no monument, where she appears as 'king's wife' and 'Pharaoh' (Pharaoh means the five titles and names of a king) Udimu 4.10.2005. 8.55

OK, I just thought it wasn't logically inconsistent. Thanks for clearing that up.--Pharos 23:52, 5 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

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. Tausret has been demonstrated to be the most prevalent spelling of the subject's name. (non-admin closure) Toadspike [Talk] 13:06, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Twosret → Tausret – While looking through sources on this person, it seems as though "Tausret" is actually the most common way of spelling her name. For example, in Google Scholar, "Twosret" gets 155 results, while "Tausret" gets 568. In contrast, of the other possible spellings, "Tawosret" gets 324 results, and "Tausert" gets 396 results.

It seems as though "Twosret" is actually the least common way of spelling her name in reliable sources. As "Tausret" appears to be the most common, I am requesting we rename this page to that. Grnrchst (talk) 10:00, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
