  • Aoineko (français, English, 日本語) (please leave messages here)
  • Samuel (Chinese), I will try to help, but don't expect too much, I am not an expert, besides, I can read only English and Chinese. ;p (Leave me messages here)
  • Mats, Swedish, messages here. Like Samuel, I'm not an expert, but I've been writing some articles on mythology.
  • Iustinus. My energy is spread very thin already, however I should probably be the contact person for La:, as how to say such-and-such an Egyptian name in Latin is one of my areas of interest. My native language is English, but I will also accept messages in Latin, French, and so on.
  • Gregg (Български (Bulgarian), français, English). Leave messages here
  • Fatima (Spanish and English) I have thousands of pictures of Egypt that I have been collecting from Internet, also I know everything about the god and goddes Osiris and Isis and about the king Tutankhamun. Send me a message here)

  • nl:Gebruiker:Oesermaatra0069 I speak English, Dutch (native) and German (not very good). My hieroglyphics-skills are bad, but I can read the names and functions of people. I can help with the mythology I know a lot of minor worship gods (not Isis or Amon but Wepwawet and Heh). I'm very active with the pharao names on the dutch Wikipedia so just look and implement! I would like to help answering questions about egypt.

Coordination[edit]

Pictures[edit]

The goal of this part is to enable users to share free pictures. I planned to create 2 pages, one with only links, and one other with all pictures (very heavy I think). Perhaps, in the future, it may be better to organize those pictures by theme.

User's pictures:

Hieroglyphs editor[edit]

WikiHiero is a tool to generate hieroglyph text in WikiSyntax (tables & images) from a text written according to Hieroglyph coding manual syntax. WikiHiero (0.2.7) is running at http://test.wikipedia.org. Feel free to make tests with hieroglyphs-codes.

For example, <-p:t-o-l:m-i-i-s->! may be rendered as fr:Image:Ptolemee2.png. The lastest version can be found at http://aoineko.free.fr.

Gods' names[edit]

I planned to create a big table to show "official" transliteration and local language translation. Aoineko

Translation[edit]

A list of all the goods or featured articles in the egyptopedias.

Create local project[edit]

To create a new Egyptology project for your local Wikipedia, go to your WikiProject page (like en:Wikipedia:WikiProject) and add a link to the new page. You can call it as you want (for example, fr:Wikipedia:Egyptopedia). Add your page here, in the List of locals projects.

Feel free to organize your project as you want, but if you want some advice, here is a page model:

First, create inter-language links to other Egyptology project (you will find links here on meta). Like [[fr:Wikipédia:Egyptopedia]].

Make a brief introduction of the project. For example:

Egyptopedia is a WikiProject and its goal is to coordinate working on Egyptology part of all Wikipedia in general and of the <language> Wikipedia particularly.

International Coordination[edit]

Describe the international project on its goal. For example:

An international Egyptology project taking place at Egyptopedia. Its main goal os to coordinate all local project and share Egyptology resources (pictures, tables, tools, etc.).
