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

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.

The early "history", not in fact documented, has been constructed as if to support a secure Alexandrian provenance. The possibility of Alexandrian-scool hardstone carvers working for the Julio-Claudians is presented by J. Pollen. --Wetman (talk) 14:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Plans and Sources for the Tazza Farnese[edit]

The following is an overview of some of my plans for improving this article. Discussion of these plans is more than welcome.

The history section of the Tazza Farnese article briefly discusses its journey from Egypt in 31 BCE to its present day location in the Naples National Archaeological Museum, but has no mention of where it was created and why it was created. I’d like to expand on its origin quite a bit more if possible and, if not possible, I’d like to explain why (i.e., perhaps there are conflicting accounts on why and where it was made). I think the article would also greatly benefit from the introduction of a section regarding the specific materials the cup is comprised of and the significance of these materials, as well as a section on the subjects carved into the cup and the significance of said subjects. The article touches on the carvings briefly already, but in a cursory way. Finding and using information from many different sources is my main and overarching goal, as I think a lack of sources is the article’s primary issue.
