There's kind of an apologist slant in favor of the House of Netjer/Kemetic Orthodoxy; I cleaned up the biased language a little, but I don't trust myself to get rid of it entirely, as I'm pretty biased towards the House of Netjer myself. Anybody want to have a go at it?

As an aside, it'd be interesting if someone put in about the history of rivalry between HoN and Per Ankh. Switchercat 03:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I think a part of this is just that a lot of the writers are most familiar with Kemetic Orthodoxy. By all means, if somebody has other things to contribute or if they want to make the language less biased, I think they should. The only problem I think could happen is it could go the other direction. Falsetto 00:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monolatry

The definition given of 'monolatry' in the article conflicts with the Monolatry article. I'm not sure if there should be a mention or not - I encountered this page via the random feature and know nothing about the topic :) Cheyinka 05:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested merge

Since Kemetic Orthodoxy is a stub and doesn't seem to be getting any longer, and since this article seems to contain a lot of material related to Kemetic Orthodoxy without really explaining what it is and how it relates to the rest of Kemetic Recon, I thought it might be a good idea to merge the two. We did something similar with Hellenic polytheism, and it's been really helpful to have all of the different groups/traditions/factions in one place so that it's easy to see when we're making questionable generalizations based on the practices of one group or swaying towards the POV of one or another. What do people think? - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 18:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Personally I feel that rather then combining the two articles information from the kemetic recon section should be moved to the kemetic orthodoxy page such as Shemsu Naming and the majority of the info on Tamara Siuda.Plantman223 05:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Now that I've thought some more about it, I really feel like that would be a better way to go. Italian Wikipedia has really extensive coverage of Kemetic recon and they seem to have done this really well. I think it would be good for us to check out and possible translate some of their material (or at least borrow some of their images and organization):
I removed the merge tags and I hope that we can get some traffic going between these two articles in the days ahead. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 05:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
