Hatshepsut was one of the History good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

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.

@Countercheck: Neat one to cleanup. And the Met is cool too. While I'm sure I've forgotten several things from the days of taking art history courses, her mortuary temple isn't one of them. What a large thing to seemingly know so little about. Anyway: The "early life and family" section having only one fact has me try to think of another one, and should it not say something about her father Thutmose I? It is not unusual to recapitulate what is in the lede, for it is unusual to have citations in the lede, a problem easily resolved by recapitulating with a citation and elaborating in the body.

'Hatshepsut is, according to Egyptologist James Henry Breasted, "the first great woman in history of whom we are informed."'
-- Fair enough. And she might have been deified by the Greeks as Athena(Athena Saitis)(Athena Onga/Ahkh)(Athena Tritogeneia-third gen from Aahotep II), with statues linking her to Ethiopia, commemorating her voyage to Punt.
Of course her grandmother, Aahotep II, was Artemis, or Io, and worshiped in Egypt, Greece, and Canaan(3 continents), and might be linked to Asherah, the wife of God, in the bible; and her Grandmother, Aahotep I founded the new kingdom, and might have been conflated with the other 2 great women. 2601:58B:E7F:8410:64F0:AFF4:2F14:9CB8 (talk) 03:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
