Ancient Egypt Mid‑importance

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Ancient Egypt, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Egyptological subjects on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.Ancient EgyptWikipedia:WikiProject Ancient EgyptTemplate:WikiProject Ancient EgyptAncient Egypt articles

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.

==Class rank applied==

Applied Class B, but feel article should possibly be ranked higher, as "GA". However as I created the article, I can't nominate it as per the Good Article nomination process. Over to you for your consideration, fellow Wikipedians!

The article covers salient points of subject's personal details and career, and provides selected list of his published works, some of which are of high importance to Egyptologists and students. Non-Egyptological details of Faulkner's life could be treated more fully: I have some research remaining and hope to add more information soon. A photograph might be possible, but will need to write for permission. Bezapt 12:41, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

==Importance rank applied==

Applied a "Mid" importance ranking. Faulkner's publications continue to be of great significance to those studying hieroglyphs. While the bio of an Egyptologist could be considered background knowledge to the subject of Egyptology (and thus perhaps of "low" importance), a Google search suggests that this Wikipedia article could very possibly be the only easily locatable biography about him on the web at the present time (which increases its significance).
