Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sopdu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sah (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Do you approve of the removal from the Osiris page ? I am not entirely convinced by their arguments, at least I think the article should retain a link or a paragraph summarizing the material that has been removed. I know this kind of arguments do not hold on wikipedia but the two users who decided this in the course of a few days are relatively young (one registered in late december the other is semi-retired with less than 2000 edits), so I am wondering what you think of the situation since you're an experienced editor when it comes to ancient Egyptian religion. Iry-Hor (talk) 17:38, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I couldn't make this edit until the database unlocked.

I would say the paragraphs they just removed were rather disjointed and off-topic (as opposed to the rest of the article, which is merely disjointed). So I don't object to their removal. Leaving some kind of summary makes sense, but parallels with / influences on Christianity are a touchy subject, and I don't want to get involved with it if I don't have to. A. Parrot (talk) 18:33, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes I understand, I too try to stay off controversial topics, I just wanted to make sure these edits were ok from the point of view of editors knowledgeable on the subject. Iry-Hor (talk) 19:10, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I've been blitzing through Wikipedia:Requested articles/Arts and entertainment/Fashion, creating redirects where appropriate (as for Calasiris/kalasiris) and adding quick notes to articles where a redirect may not be obvious (as with Kalasiris and Klaft). I did a quick sources scan for klaft before creating the redirect and adding the note, and saw that a number of sources linked it to the nemes, including the Norwegian Wikipedia article at no:Klaft. Doing a more in-depth search, I see it's an alternative spelling of "khat" which does seem to make more sense. Thanks for raising this, I should have looked at the sources more carefully and will revert my edit to Nemes and redirect Klaft to Khat (apparel). Mabalu (talk) 10:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

Thank you for the review of the article Metric system. I know that the article is far from perfect, and you have given me a few points to work on. May I ask one favour from you - would you skim-read Introduction to the metric system and give me any comments that you might have, notably whether it is worth developing? I have unashamedly aimed that article at a non-scientific community. Martinvl (talk) 07:07, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. Oh my, I'm flattered about so much trustment. Of course I will help you out! Beside the book you proposed I know much more encyclopedias in German language about egyptian deities. ;-) Isis is a goddes known since 5th dynasty. Her origin is unknown, she appears more or less all of a sudden. What am I babbling, I will collect the very best books for you, study them and give you amounts of texts!

Hi. What a pitty. But ok. Unfortunately, I do not own that book and I'm also not able to receive it virtually (and its quite expensive for German conditions so I can't buy it for you). If you could somehow get a grip on it, I could translate scanned texts for you. Best regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 20:52, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Ancient Egyptian deities know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 7, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 7, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

 

The beliefs and rituals surrounding the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt formed the core of the religion of ancient Egyptians. Believing that gods influenced natural events and human lives, they interacted with the gods in temples and shrines for personal reasons and in state rites, praying for divine aid, and using rituals to compel deities to act. Authority to perform these tasks was controlled by the pharaoh, who claimed to be the gods' sole representative and managed the temples. The gods' complex characteristics were expressed in myths and in intricate relationships between deities: family ties, loose groups and hierarchies, and combinations of separate gods into one. Deities' diverse appearances in art—as animals, humans, objects, and combinations of different forms—also alluded, through symbolism, to their essential features. In different eras, various gods were said to hold the highest position in divine society, including the solar deity Ra, the mysterious god Amun, and the mother goddess Isis (pictured with Pharaoh Seti I in her lap). The highest deity was usually credited with the creation of the world and often connected with the life-giving power of the sun. (Full article...)

Hi! Yeeh, I was able to read the files! ;-) Here is a first, very rough overview: Very cool, there´s anything you would neet to write a record article. The origin and first worships of Isis, Isis and Nephthys and their role in the myth of Osiris, including the most important citations from the "lament of Isis and Nephthys", Isis in later times and so on. This will be tons of work, but I will translate for you. Step by step. Best regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 21:39, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Your questions are cool, I will work them down one by one. I hope you don't mind that I start on Wednesday eve (here in Germany we celebrate father's day on Thursday and have free time). One question to you: where do I put the text into??? A special user´s page, maybe? Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 18:42, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Yo! I´m done with Maria Münster's essay "Investigations about the goddess Isis". To be honest: In the end my study results are rather so-so than great. Most of the text is about the lament of Isis and Nephthys, furthermore the passages which could answer thine questions are... ummm... more hot air than content. Too much debauchery about personal names and inscription examples. Here you can see what I would consider to be essential. This is what could be really useful for you. Hope, it helps you. Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 15:28, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

The paragraph you added in the article on Khaemwaset relating the story where he seeks a magic book, describes a story that is suspiciously similar to this one: click here. Only in this one, it is Naneferkaptah that seeks the book and he is said to be a child of Merneptah, not Ramses. Is there a possible confusion here ? Iry-Hor (talk) 09:40, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much for this enlightening response. I do not own any source about the Setne stories but if I come accross one, I will certainly communicate it with you. I just read on the article of Merneptah the follwing : "Naneferkaptah was the royal heir, being the son of Merneptah's royal wife, Queen Isetnofret (Isisnofret), but he, his wife, and their heir died before the death of Merneptah, and their story survives in text.[7] " the source cited being precisely the text I sent you. I believe whoever added this sentence to the article on Merneptah was misled into believing Naneferkaptah was an actual historical son of Merneptah. Should we correct this ? Iry-Hor (talk) 19:39, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes. I've done so. A. Parrot (talk) 20:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. I wanted to drop you a note to see if you'd be interested in joining the Guild of Copy Editors July 2013 backlog elimination drive. Three years ago, you participated in our biggest and most successful drive ever and were a big help, copy editing 40 articles with over 20,000 words. We've made lots of progress since then, but have stalled out a bit now. We need more help to keep pushing down the number of articles that still need copy editing. The current drive is already halfway over! Please consider joining it and chipping in a few articles. Thanks for reading this, and I hope to see you there. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 12:58, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the acknowledgement, A. Parrot! I quite like the changes you recently made to the Sobek page. Do you think that we can get this article's class changed?

Hi, very nice comment. The pyramid chambers were not used for play squash, that's right. But in September 2006, the PSA World Squash Championship took place just in front of the pyramids in Cairo in Egypt. More details here : *. Now, if you have time to say a word on that, that's better. But if you thought it was a joke, then you're mistaken. Cheers Tc1591 (talk) 08:14, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

I just saw your edit on the Step pyramid article regarding the oldest identified mummy. I am not as positive as you are on the subject: for example, a damaged mummy was discovered in the sarcophagus of pharaoh Merenre in situ in the burial chamber of his pyramid during the first excavations there. Although it is doubted that the mummy was that of Merenre there is nonetheless a sizable community of egyptologists who think it is.

Similarly, mummified remains have been found in the sarcophagus of Menkaure, but these and the sarcophagus were lost to sea en route to the British Museum. About the purported mummy of Djoser, it was discovered by Jean-Philipe Lauer as he crawled inside of Djoser's scarcophagus to make measurement during excavations. He himself believed the knee was that of Djoser. Finally, there is the wrist of Djer whom some contend is indeed that of Djer although others state it could be that of a noble or a retainer originally buried in nearby tombs. But again the wrist is now lost. The problem with these mummies and especially pieces of mummy is that you don't expect them to have names written all over, e.g. on a knee or a wrist. Knowing this, it is hard to expect better evidence than a piece discovered in situ, e.g. in the sarcophagus, in the original burial chamber. Yet, it is always possible that the remains belong to someone else. Iry-Hor (talk) 08:47, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I was wrong. I should asked for reliable sources in my edit summary rather than declaring it a hoax, but when I searched to find out whether he had died, the only reliable-looking source I found said it was a hoax. The problem is that celebrity-death hoaxes pop up all the time and invariably make their way to Wikipedia—because people hear a rumor and jump to Wikipedia to change the article immediately, without providing sources and probably without caring whether sources are available. What's really wrong with Wikipedia is that people jump to conclusions. The editors I was reverting were guilty of that, and so was I. A. Parrot (talk) 05:00, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, as I was writing the article on Senakhtenre Ahmose of the 17th dynasty, I found out that an inscription of his mentions a god, whose name is given in a French article as "Béhédety". Do you know which Egyptian god this is ? Is there a English wiki article for this god, so that I could wikify the article on Senakhtenre Ahmose properly? Iry-Hor (talk) 12:37, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Well thank you for your detailed answer! I linked the mention of Behdety to Horus in the article on Senakhtenre Ahmose as you recommended and will add a note in the references that Behdety is a specific form of Horus (with a ref) if necessary. By the way, the mention of Behdety was uncovered on a lintel inscribed by Senakhtenre Ahmose in Karnak, i.e. in Upper Egypt. Would that indicate that this is the Behdety of Edfu? Iry-Hor (talk) 22:12, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

The inscription simply reads:

At least it shows that Behdety is understood to be a town. Iry-Hor (talk) 10:11, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I just noticed a major problem with the identification of Sobekhotep I and II. Recently, the tomb of Sobekhotep I was discovered in Abydos, however, the archeologists are actually referring to Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep and not Khaankhre Sobekhotep. This is a big problem because on wikipedia the article Sobekhotep I points to Khaankhre Sobekhotep whom the archeologist would refer to as Sobekhotep II. The problem is further obscured by the fact that the dynastic position of Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep is debated, with some egyptologists seeing him as the founder of the 13th dynasty and others believing it was Wegaf. In the latter case, Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep would be Sobekhotep II and Khaankhre Sobekhotep I. In any case, the mistake here is terrible because I and others have been editing the article Sobekhotep I with the discovery of the tomb when the rest of the article talk about Khaankhre Sobekhotep, who, regardless of the position of Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep in the dynasty, is not the owner of the tomb. I should add that if we do not do this, people from all over the web who heard about the discovery of the tomb will type "Sobekhotep I" and end up on the page of Khaankhre Sobekhotep when archeologists talk about Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep. Thus it is urgent to do something, and to avoid problems of who is I and II, we should just name the articles "Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep" and "Khaankhre Sobekhotep". I have Ryholt's book, Baker's book and the Petrie Museum website confirming this blunder. I do not know how to change an article title, so please help me! Iry-Hor (talk) 10:21, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

To me, the list HAS to be part of the main article, because otherwise it basically completely unsourced. The source on the list article is referenced in the main article. Plus it makes navigation easier. Plus it was an orphaned article. So many reasons. Cosprings (talk) 20:11, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

A. Parrot, maybe you can explain why Conventional Egyptian chronology isn't merged with List of pharaohs? The former article seems to have been mostly written during the early stages of wikipedia (early 2000s) and has only 1 reference. Cosprings (talk) 13:44, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

This is actually really odd. These two zines are used in German article of Khaba, too. I took them, intrusting our article. I can't figure out, who exactly put these zines in, but I found out, that they are mentioned on a website hostet by Egyptologist Francesco Tiradritti.

Hello A. Parrot! One of the decrees addressed by Neferkauhor of the 8th Dynasty to the temple of Min at Coptos orderes the construction of a sacred barque for a god simply called "Two-Powers" and which William C.

HTP!

i have noticied that you changed/challenged some of my edits to the names of the ancient egyptian gods/goddesses. you stated taht you felt that changing the greek/european renderings of the names to the spellings more closely associated with their kemetic names could be confusing to the reader. i would like to humbly and respectfully disagree. i feel that it is a more accurate refection of the culture these figures proceeded from to use their original (or as close as possible) epithets. furthermore, i feel that any confusion should be further allayed by my use of the "pipe" tool where,if a user/reader simply mouses over the original kemetic name, the european/greek name willl be shown. i equate it to the slightly more respectful way of referring to the original inhabitants of the americas as "native americans", or their original, self appointed tribal names wherever available as opposed to calling them "indians" simply because the term enjoys a wider usage. the people of ancient kemet had names and concepts for their deities and ideologies that are often misrepresented when viewed through a european "lens" if there is something that i have overlooked, please feel free to let me know. thank you for reading

Thanks for your insights and feedback, and especially for being nice. . . em hetepu ~_~

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Astarte, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mycenaean. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

What to do about the IP who's reverting to the badly sourced version? (What does Redford say, do you know?. Dougweller (talk) 17:59, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

The basis of the "Solar" Egyptian calendar, which you accept, was based on the heliacal rising of Orion-Osiris in the East with the Sun Ra-Horakhty. The new year would begin when Orion rised in the East with the Sun Ra-Horakhty. The star or constellation (Osiris-Orion) would be "reborn" when it rose just before sunrise. Its interesting to note that the Armenian calendar of Navasard, was also linked with the solar Egyptian calendar, and the day of the Sun, the first day of Navasard 1, was when it was the day of the Sun rising, and Hayk-Orion is rising in the eastern horizon just before sunrise. But, you are right, the majority of the people in the world dont need to know all this, let them stay ignorant (Wikipedia does not reveal all the truth). 76.201.60.184 (talk) 04:02, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Here's to hoping I'm not being negligent in posting this inquiry here:

"User:Ghost Lourde was patrolled by A. Parrot".

Inform me--does this denote a censorious action, a brief perusal, a notification of following, or something else entirely? As you may have surmised, I am an extremely inchoate editor.

It's an oddball part of Wikipedia's software. Whenever a new page is created, it appears on Special:NewPagesFeed, where there are a handful of editors who look through the pages to see if they're valid (as opposed to the kind of vandalism, hoaxes, spam, and so forth that new users often create). Experienced editors are able to click a link on a new page to list it as "patrolled", meaning somebody's looked over it and the dedicate new page patrollers don't have to look at it further. The patrollers often have a backlog of pages to look at, so although I don't actually do new page patrol, I often click the "patrolled" button on new pages I come across, so the patrollers can concentrate on more problematic stuff. In your case, I happened across your user page while looking at Special:RecentChanges. Once I'd skimmed it, I clicked the button.

So the short version is, I marked your user page as "patrolled" to signal that it wasn't junk and other editors don't have to worry that it is. Not a censorious action—rather the opposite.

FYI, though: new talk page topics generally go at the bottom of the page. To create one easily, you can click the "new section" button at the top of the page. I moved your questionA. Parrot (talk) 06:02, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

I'll concede your revert, but I recommend you join our debate on the project page here.--FUNKAMATIC ~talk 05:49, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello A. Parrot, I would like to know if you could possibly help me with the last point raised by the reviewer concerning Amenemhat IV's GA status: "See if you can find someone to do a quick punctuation copyedit; some of the comma usage isn't very good.". The article is not too long so I hope this shouldn't take too much time for a native speaker. I have already addressed all the other points raised by the reviewer ([Page Here]) so that this might lead to GA status for Amenemhat IV. Iry-Hor (talk) 08:47, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, you did an amazing job, going above and beyond what I asked! If in the future I might be able to help you with anything, just let me know. I will keep an eye open for pdfs of books on the Egyptian religion which I might come across and will send them to you if you want. Iry-Hor (talk) 09:25, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the typo fix. Re the removal of "unnecessary italics", reading the article now, would you know which terms are covered in the mill machinery article? That is why the names of the various items are in italics in mill articles. It is impossible to avoid using technical terms when describing mills, hence the need to give the reader some indication as to where to find an explanation should they need it.

Thoth might be the name for Jews, Jehuti, Jehudi , so when Jesus said salvation is from Jews , it's actually Moses wisdom from Egypt . Agree? 166.170.14.27 (talk) 23:32, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
