  • Anyone object to this article being rewritten – it is a bit of a mess, and rather confusing, especially as this is one of the most important places in Ancient Egypt mythology. The rewrite will be at Abydos, Egypt/temp Markh 10:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
26-Aug-2006: The current article, "Abydos, Egypt" has been expanded greatly, surpassing the article 'Abydos, Egypt/temp' which is only a stub. -Wikid77 09:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
It is because I haven't added anything since I created the temp article. Markh 10:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki issues

26-Aug-2006: The following issues relate to Wiki formatting rules, which are still debated:

  • Lower-cased Headers: Although Wiki headers are wikified to lower-case after the first word, note that "Great Temple" is a proper noun, so "Temple" has been re-upcased in the header. I feel that headers should have capital words, as in standard grammar and punctuation, because wikified as lower-case seems way spastic, with more problems having to guess which words are the proper nouns that will be capitalized. -Wikid77 09:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Image Locations: As of August 2006, Wiki display might still truncate text around images, depending on multiple images near each other. I had to separate the Hieroglyphs-image from the Egypt-map-image on the page, since text was being cut off next to those images. -Wikid77 10:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
