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

It's currently little more than a stub, but there is significant room for improvement. The body of work on this work is vast, and while the work itself is lost there is more than enough data to go into further detail on the image the work presents on Alexander, and the composition of the work. The section on the Vulgate Tradition can and should be considerably expanded, before being split into it's own article. However, this will all need to wait until I get around to obtaining some of these works, but in the meantime I believe the work is ready to be moved to mainspace. -- NoCOBOL (talk) 10:09, 21 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Ptolemy, in origin section.

Judging by the dates given, the hotlink to Ptolemy may actually be to a different writer of the same name. 110.145.170.78 (talk) 03:23, 27 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
