Talk:Anedjib: Difference between revisions – Wikipedia

WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list: We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I’m sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have. To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I’m told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates? Standardize the Chronology. A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563) Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . . This is a project I’d like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture — Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can’t smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can’t get access to a research library.

http://personalwebs.myriad.net/steveb/egypt/1st.jpg lists a very different cartouche for Anedjib than the one in the image here… which one is correct, or are both correct? —Damate

This article lists Anedjib as the fifth Pharaoh of the First Dynasty, while the article on his father Den lists Den as the fifth. Similarly the articles on Djer and Djet list them both as the third Pharaoh of the First Dynasty. The differences probably go back to the controversy over whether Menes and Hor-Aha were the same person.–Syd Henderson 03:25, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anedjib → AdjibAdjib – Within this article, Anedjib is referred to only as Adjib, with the exception of the first paragraph and the gallery, the former of which claims that the more correct version of his name is Adjib. Additionally, the royal titulary section has his name listed as ˁḏ-jb (Adj-jb) with no “n” in sight. The name of the article should match the name used within the article.

Can someone more familiar with this topic/these types of sources please confirm or deny that Adjib is more correct or should be used throughout the article? I’m concerned that this may have resulted from editor bias Audrey Woolf (talk) 10:16, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

whichever spelling is more commonly used in Egyptological literature should be used regardless of how authentic it is to the original pronunciation. PharaohCrab speak𓀁 works𓀨 17:07, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anedjib is still commonly used, so I think a poll here would be better. Whatever choice wins become the article name. UWMKEgypt (talk) 19:41, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
