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. Cleanup. 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) Stub sorting Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . . Data sorting. 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.

Different entities

Immortus, Scarlet Centurion, and Iron Lad are all different entities. They may all be Kang from different parts of time, but its not the same as something like Victor Timely, an alias Kang once used. --DrBat 01:27, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Iron Lad

Reading Young Avengers, it is clear that Iron Lad was created to function as Kang, and not an independent character. These are the same character and should be merged. Iron Lad has neither the publication history to reflect notability independent of Kang or any other media context independent of the Conquorer. Merge the two. -Sharp962 (talk) 19:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Do you suggest something akin to Vision of the Young Avengers? I would move for a redirect of "Iron Lad" to that section, if created. Clearly the character has separate actions and impacts on the Marvel Universe outside of his function as Kang.Luminum (talk) 19:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although, I am not a fan of the "Modern Age" header, as clearly the characterization of Iron Lad and Kang has been intermingled since its inception and across ages; I think you have a great suggestion and such a redirect would be the foundation of a good merger. -Sharp962 (talk) 23:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Strongly Agree to Merge with Rama-Tut and Scarlet Centurion, Strongly Disagree to Merge with Iron Lad

+ while Rama-Tut and Scarlet Centurion are both used as mere aliases by the mainstream Kang in his time-travels, so merge as already done is strongly recommended, + :I Strongly Disagree to Merge with Iron Lad, Iron Lad is a different entity in an alternate Earth(-689?) of a different Marvel universe timeline, it is an instance of what Nathaniel Richards would have become through his own time-travel intervention on his own past, Iron Lad even organized the Young Avengers, with the sole purpose of defeating his future self (Kang) and reshaping his own future; + :this has already been cited by Luminum and DrBat last July 2009 and April 2006, respectively + :- .:Seth Nimbosa:.

The Rama-Tut/Centurion discussion is long since closed with a merger completed. The Iron Lad discussion is a new one, and a revert was complete (with incorporation of the comments to reflect that). Iron Lad is a fictional character, and the organization of the Young Avengers and "beatinghis future self" does not negate the real world use of the character as a thematic device of the character Kang, evidenced since the character's inception. There is no Iron Lad series or spin-off, there is only a character that was introduced as Kang in Young Avengers #1. Plot twists are not evidence. -Sharp962 (talk) 15:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Disagree since it is another timeline, a separate story that someone just came up with and the fact that no one has cared in about two years.Bofum (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:29, 31 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Agree. His page is pretty short and he doesn't seem to be super notable. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 12:43, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Needed

This page is filled with poor grammar. A competent writer should really take some time to clean it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.149.12 (talk) 02:52, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MCU appearances

As I said before, technically this Wikipedia page is mainly focused on Kang, not on his variants (or temporal selves). I do believe we should only add all the Kang's MCU appearances, removing Loki’s He Who Remains or Quantumania’s Rama-Tut. Johnf69 (talk) 11:38, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Victorex Prime/Scarlet Centurion

Where was the Scarlet Centurion called Victorex Prime? I've only seen him called Scarlet Centurion, and I think calling him Victorex is confusing people. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 15:57, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
