Low

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 result of the proposal was move to Kmt (journal). JPG-GR (talk) 22:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

The magazine title is officially Kmt. KMT could be left as a redirect to KMT (disambiguation) --Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 21:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

support move, as it is not an acronym but a placename with the vowels left out. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

KMT and kmt should ideally direct to the same page per WP:NC(P) which recommends "adding a parethical (bracketed) disambiguator to the page name: for instance when both spellings are often or easily confused.". A better title for this article is Kmt (journal) since "KMT" is ambiguous (the primary meaning is Kuomintang — see search results) per WP:D: "When a reader enters a given term in the Wikipedia search box and pushes "Go", what article would they most likely be expecting to view as a result?" — AjaxSmack 10:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
- A good suggestion, I think we should do it this way. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 18:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Google search for KMT (which ignores case) dredged up a varying assortment with the Kuomintang dominating. As letting page names differ only by case/space seems to be not recommended, move KMT (the periodical) to Kmt (periodical)? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Spprt [sic] Kmt (periodical) per Anthony Appleyard. Tigeron (talk) 20:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Kmt (journal) or Kmt (periodical) is fine since it is both. — AjaxSmack 02:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Of the two, I'd prefer Kmt (journal), since it is self-described as "A modern journal of Egyptology". Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 03:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't think we need any admin action on this, so I'll carry out the move to Kmt (journal). Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 22:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
