Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-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.

Picture[edit]

I have a picture of nefertari taken in her Abou Simbel temple here http://gilmail.free.fr/albums/userpics/10001/nefertari.JPG .Feel free to use it.

Thank you very much! I added the picture to the article. Would you agree to provide this image under GFDL license? Andreas Kaufmann 05:55, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Birth and death date discrepancy[edit]

Text has c. 1300-1250 BC, while categories have 1292-1225 BC; knowing there are difficulties with Egyptian chronology, is there a way to reconcile the dates so they align properly? More research probably needed; LC authority file no help.--FeanorStar7 14:55, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nefertari's Status[edit]

"Nefertari was known as the principal wife of RamsesII. She was considered beautiful in her time and was greatly popular in performing . Most of Pharaoh's wives were used for sex and they had a low status among the royal court. They were known as prostitutes or concubines and although nefertari is a principal wife, her main purpose was to have sex."

This statement has nothing to back it up. It sounds like something someone just made up. I'm sure it isn't true as wives were for producing children, and sometimes they ruled on the throne. I think it needs to be deleted. Onikan (talk) 05:19, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When did she live?[edit]

Interestingly enough, the article does not say. One has to look at the categories or click one of the links to extract that information. GregorB (talk) 23:52, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Recent change in lede[edit]

Recently, edits (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nefertari&oldid=1096541533) added the translation of "the most beautiful". I am unsure if it's notable to be in the lede, so tried to rv the edit, but it was undone again, so I moved it to the name section ( I am not familiar with this topic, I was only patrolling at Recent Changes, so if this is a mistake apologies). Could other contributors please comment on this change? VickKiang (talk) 04:08, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
