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

This article is really bad and most of the information in it is wrong. I am going to try to completely rewrite it.--67.164.139.172 (talk) 19:47, 5 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Here's another good reference for the present article.

Why is the lead too long?

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

St.nerol, you've added a "lead section may be too long" maintenance template to the article, can you explain your rationale behind it? The lead currently has about 225 words, the whole article about 2000 – so it's 11% of the total, which hardly seems too much. Originally the lead was formatted as a single paragraph, and for that it was too long, I agree with that. However, I have now split it into three paragraphs, and I think it's fine now. Do you agree, or do you still find it "too long"? Gawaon (talk) 11:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I was likely fooled by the single long paragraph. Removing template.–St.nerol (talk) 12:06, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.
