replies: text: Oh: and incidentally, I'm opposed to closing down color pages. Although many--nearly all--are quite short, I think it's helpful to give them their own pages. Specifically, I occasionally adds cites (like those here) to show usage, and I don't think that would work as well on a combined page. Also, if similar pages don't exist for other portions of the spectrum, I think the conversation will need to be taken up to a higher level before proceeding.

text: Similar pages already exists for other colors in the spectrum, variations of green was the first of them, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Color/Archive 4#Merging_minor_colors_together and Special:PrefixIndex/Variations of. Considering the small number of people active in Wikipedia:WikiProject color more input is always welcome. My biggest concerns is that the color articles don't mislead, and are properly sourced and notable. I've been slowly (slowly is a bit of an understatement to be honest) and some what randomly looking through the articles for different colors and trying to verify what's there.

replies: text: The rulers are linked as they appear in the text. The dates are uncertain: no one agrees on them. The seals are unimportant, particularly given that only one source thinks two of them belong to Hyksos rulers, and they can be added if you think they're important. I'm not sure I understand your fundamental objections. The information at Hyksos is clearly much better than what's found here, and I'm not just saying that because I wrote it. It uses many more sources than here.--Ermenrich (talk) 17:30, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge to Hyksos 

message: The text that's been added relies heavily on a single work, that of Kim Ryholt and some other works, such as the Encylopedia of Ancient Egypt, which were originally printed in the early 90s. While many of Ryholt's conclusions have been generally accepted (that the sixteenth dynasty aren't Hyksos, for instance, but Thebans) many have not. The study of the second intermediate period has advanced substantially since the 90s due to new archaeological discoveries and new consensus positions.
Just a few examples:
#Ryholt's claim that Hyksos wasn't a title used by the Hyksos kings or that only the initial Hyksos kings used it at all is disputed
#Ryholt's description of the range of Hyksos rule and the idea that they invaded and replaced the 14th Dynasty are disputed
#Ryholt's ordering of the Hyksos kings is disputed
#The idea that Khyan conquered all of Egypt is disputed and I believe generally disfavored now
#The notion that Hyksos destroyed temples or "ruled without Re" has been generally refuted
More recent sources are cited at Hyksos in the relevant sections, which include some statements of WP:RS/AC on them as well. Most of the sources can be found via google books, Academia.edu, or JSTOR. I'm also happy to provide sources for each of my points.
I am also somewhat concerned that this now just duplicates information found at Hyksos, but that's probably more of a point for the merger discussion.--Ermenrich (talk) 12:38, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Old, uncited claim 

message: ... one stick is held and swung, causing the other (the swipple) to strike a pile of grain, loosening the husks.
Okay, so the stalks are first harvested, then piled and finally thrashed. 
But in many places, such as Minnesota, wild rice can only be harvested legally using manual means, specifically through the use of a canoe and a flail that is made of smooth, round wood no more than 30 inches long.
Is the canoeist standing or sitting? Is the rice standing or piled? 
More detail on how much is piled, and how the grains is recovered afterward, etc. would greatly help to dispel these conflicting mental images. — MaxEnt 20:43, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

In case you ever return to see if there is yet a photo, you should know even if there ever is one you will most likely be disappointed. It will be more or less a gray speck as Pasiphaë is less than 40 miles in diameter, and is gray in color. As for signing in, if you are not registered you can still "sign in": There is a character that looks like a pencil next to the B for Bold and I for italic, clicking that will place the four tildes . That way it timestamps, and will use your IP address as a signature if you are not registered . (Sometimes it does so without you doing anything.)
