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.
There are a number of sources that say that Nina Macpherson Cummings studied at Slade and the Royal College of Art under Walter Crane, one of which is this JSTOR article. The article says that the family moved to London so that she could attend art school, but I cannot find any evidence of a painting, exhibition, artist friends who knew her at school, sources that describe her education under Crane, etc... all of which seem to support Nigel Strudwick's claim in this biography for Brown University, that the school's did not have a record for her. It also says that her father's obituary mentioned that she attended Slade and RCA. Very confusing that there's no evidence of her artwork that I can find, since she was about 26 years of age when she married.
I'm trying to track this down from the U.S. Perhaps I'm missing some sources that might help ferret this out. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks!--CaroleHenson(talk) 23:58, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
