Hope no one minds, but I've rewritten the article completely. No one has even touched it in more than a month; even then it was just a bot who added a foreign language version. There were hardly any refs; now I've added about twenty different sources. I hope to submit this as a FA soon; any suggestions? Thanks!-- Pericles of Athens Talk 16:57, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm quite concerned about the use of the phrase "World's oldest recorded literature" (or similar), especially as that is an absolute statement - when Australian Aboriginal rock art story telling pre-dates Egyptian hyro by 50,000 years (or similar large number).

For anyone who might be interested, as of now this article's prose size is roughly 40 KB. I think this article has room for about another 20 KB-worth of prose material, but I doubt that I'll be adding even that much content while making improvements and additions.-- Pericles of Athens Talk 14:11, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks User:Scapler for copyediting this article! Your help is always needed, as evidenced by the gigantic Han Dynasty project which you helped bring to FA status. Cheers!-- Pericles of Athens Talk 04:19, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi all, just to let you know I'm done copy-editing. One thing that I couldn't alter is the following sentence in the graffiti sub-section: "During the New Kingdom, scribes who traveled to ancient sites often left graffiti messages on the walls of sacred mortuary temples and pyramids, usually in commemorative language of these structures." What is commemorative language - another language or a different style of the same language? I couldn't re-phrase this without losing meaning, so I've left it alone - you may be able to clarify where i can't. Good luck with the nomination, and happy editing.

Alright! This is now a featured article! I want to give thanks and a shout out to both User:Scapler and User:Baffle gab1978 for all their generous help in copyediting this article. Cheers!-- Pericles of Athens Talk 06:32, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Notes 161-163 and 168 link to #CITEREFBreasted1960, a 1960 book by James Henry Breasted. The book in the references section is of a 1962 book. Could someone fix this? Cunard ( talk) 20:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
There are two more incorrect references. Note 15 includes "Spalinger 1990", but I don't see "Spalinger" listed in the references. Note #169 lists "Seters 1997" but "Seter" is listed in the references. Cunard ( talk) 06:00, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
The sS iqr was a clearly identified phenomenon long before Parkinson ( Pamour ( talk) 08:16, 18 September 2013 (UTC)).
I think the first paragraph is fake, considering it seems kind of stupid. Kaasci ( talk) 18:28, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

What is this sentence supposed to mean? How are Demotic and Coptic supposed to be different between the 1st and 5th centuries? Srnec ( talk) 01:18, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
