The group of Gods associated with the Ogdoad was puzzling. First of all, there were many
Ogdoads in Egyptian history; and the heliopolis Ogdoad had, as the name suggests, eight deities, four pairs of male/female counterparts. I've kept thouse eight in there and removed the others like Shu and Geb and

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of
Knowledge 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
476:
First of all, a lot of the spellings of the name were not standard: Anupu, Ausare, Aset and so on are some of the possibilities, but they are certainly not universally accepted, and many of them are long obsolete. I've kept the most often used names for most of them, using
Wilkonson's Complete Gods
488:
I can't say I agree with the War Gods, and especially
Deified Concepts sections, but I'll leave them be for now. What's the source for all that? Why are, say, Min and Hapy considered deified concepts, and Amun and Geb and Nut are not? Seems like superficial grouping of some fringe modern author,
540:
Totally agree – the above idea seems a great one, have a page that has all of the data seperated, and perhaps links to the portal and project pages, and that is it. This list also means that hundreds of pages all link to hundreds of other pages, very confusing when trying to correct names, etc.
1305:
While I prefer the more concise template we have now, I changed the color of the current template to this color, as it looks more like the color of sand than the yellow color we had previously. I mean, when you think of
Ancient Egypt, don't you think of the color of sand?
1332:
I like the current compact size of the template, but I think the new color is too yellow. Of the two, I prefer F1F1DE. Whatever color is chosen, it should be applied consistently throughout the ancient Egypt wikiproject, on the Portal and various infoboxes.
529:
pruned? On the other, there are no people included in this template -- nor any links to lead to a list of
Ancient Egyptian persons, either Egyptologists or historical figures. If no one else steps up, I'll happily whittle this beast down. --
191:
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)
524:
This template is again getting out of hand: as I have my browser configured, it consumes almost the entire window! On one hand, 6 of the 12 categories concern
Egyptian Gods -- can't this be trimmed down & duplicate names (like
711:, only articles on writing! This is not at all useful and is frankly an eye sore, not to mention a waste of space and a reader's time. I realize it can be hidden, but why bother with it at all? It is useless, unless of course you
1373:
The lighter swatch is e9ddaf and the darker one is decd87. In addition to the topics template, there are I think two or three other templates that should use the same color, such as the
Pharaoh Infobox and the Dynasty lists.

697:
Index of All the
Egyptian Gods Ever Worshipped in Ancient Egypt plus some other stuff that we'll tack on for good measure anyhow but really don't care about ourselves because we're into Egyptian mythology
364:
This template is getting pretty big. Is there anything we can edit away to keep it down? Personally, I think we could loose the "Egyptologists" line; it's not really that critical to include.
685:

1355:
The color in the center (third column, second row) looks best to me, but I don't know the code for it. If that's too dark, the one to the left of it would be my second choice.

Egypt. So why does it have links to more recent history, including one to Modern Egypt? If anyone is interested in listing the Rulers of Egypt, see the discussion
180:
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?
589:
This is mad. One template cannot possibly contain every article about
Ancient Egypt! It needs to be slimmed down radically - just taking the headings, perhaps:
214:
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.
397:
493:

Why not get rid of this rather useless list (too long and biased towards religion) and just use (at most) links to various categories, for example
