Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Since nobody else has sent you a welcome message, let me be the first! Thanks also for your tidying-up of various Ancient Egyptian articles. I saw your query about the number for the Berlin papyrus specified, and have managed to locate the number for it and added a reference to the article accordingly.

Bravo for your great edit on the Sea Peoples. I didn't know one could type hieroglyphic signs for the Sea Peoples on Wikipedia. Regards, Leoboudv 23:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I reassessed the article. You've done a lot of great work and gone a long way improving it, but it can only be "B" class when the coverage of the topic is basically complete. I'd be willing to help you out if you want to expand it more. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 03:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tutkheperre

This king likely exists since he is attested in both Lower and Upper Egypt. PS: Egyptologists are a cautious lot by nature--they even designated Sheshonq II as Sheshonq IIa even though he was definitely a king at Tanis. The only king who may not exist is Maakheperre Sheshonq since he is attested by only one single object. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 20:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Quick question about Papyrus of Ani image

edit

hi there - I just added this image (which you uploaded a while back) to Book of the Dead. I was wondering what the source of the image is? In the source field, Bridgeman vs. Corel is listed - which, while it's a reason why the image is public domain in the USA, isn't exactly a source. Can you remember where you found the image - on a website, in a book, your own work? It might be important if I ever put the article forward as a Featured Article candidate. Many thanks, The Land (talk) 21:23, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
