It seems to me that "Ancient" shouldn't be capitalized in the title. Should the page be moved? Quadell (talk) 17:27, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

Early Dynastic

The section on the Early Dynastic is, IMO, very poorly written as it stands and contains erroneous information. It really needs a complete rewrite. —Nefertum17 09:04, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Copyedit help

Over time, I will be attempting to "clean up" the Egyptian pages that are interlinked, but with so many contributors, there is a lack of cohesion in the way common terms are written. For example: pharaoh should not be capitalized unless it proceeds the pharaoh's name, as in his title. Otherwise "pharaoh" is a a general term. Also, the term "dynasty" (and the number associated with it) is written in a number of ways...I prefer to use the proper name spelled out. Instead of 5th dynasty..it is Fifth Dynasty (though the "master" wikipedia pages regarding each dynasty are spelled with a lowercase "d"). At some point, I would request a change for a capital on the masters, as the official and/or proper name for any dynasty includes the word "Dynasty." Lastly, use the character of a number when referring to years (2, 3, 4)(except one, which is always spelled out). Spell out all other numbers in sentences up to 99. At 100 or more, use the characters (2,3,4). I would appreciate everyone's help in getting the Egyptian pages under control with a more consistent format.
