[edit] The picture of Ramses 6

Your picture of Ramses 6 from "le musee du louvre" is uncertain to be Ramses 6. They note "Profil royal, sans doute Ramsès VI": http://www.insecula.com/contact/A001737_oeuvre_2.html

Go to British museum, you will find a real picture of Ramses 6: British Museum, Sculptures égyptiennes http://www.insecula.com/oeuvre/photo_ME0000086163.html http://www.insecula.com/oeuvre/photo_ME0000086164.html --84.130.38.154 13:34, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Info box help

I meant can someone narrow the info box on this page and fit it to the right? I put it at the end because it dominated right across the article and messed with the text. Couldn't manage to make it like others so I don't know what's needed. Julia Rossi 23:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

That's a good one! The reason is because the Horus name is so long, and the pharaoh infobox template is not meant to break in the middle of a cartouche. There are a few possible solutions I can think of offhand: a) alter the template (hard), b) take the template's HTML and add only the HTML (medium), c) "stack up" some of the heiroglyphic characters vertically in the cartouche, (relatively easy). The last one may be artistic license, but I believe would still be valid. Cheers! Captmondo 23:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for a quick response. I tried the breaks to slim it down which a) looks clunky I guess; and b) required more than the Horus name to be stacked and c) is still wide for text wrap. Then...

In Ramesses II, these long hieroglyphs have been left out altogether. Is that an option? It is slimmer and sits on the right but lacks the glyphs. Which is better, do you think? Julia Rossi 03:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC) Ps: don't know what (medium) HTML is, sorry.
