This is one of several articles on Egyptian history that have grown weaker with further revisons. To future editors, please note that Wikipedia guidelines emphasize starting articles with a topical sentence or two setting forth the subject of the article, & these articles on individual dynasties should be more than a list of rulers -- they should include as much as we know about the political & social history of the period.
I didn't enjoy removing the timeline of Pharoahs for this dynasty (it did look quite nice & obviously a lot of work went into it), but in the end I commented it out for these reasons:
- It omitted some important details that the original table had (e.g., Pharaoh prenomens);
- Due to lack of text, it didn't fit well onto the page with the dynastic infobox; &
- It pushed the page out of shape.
Let's consider details like these more carefully in the future as we work to make Wikipedia better. -- llywrch 04:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

- I have put the timeline on a separate page ? Of course I'm biased, as I did it, but I feel that timelines show the timespan of the dynasties quite nicely! However, they need to make the article flow better as you said. Markh
