The numbering scheme article gives no useful information with respect to numbering of monarchs. We shouldn't include irrelevant links. john 04:32, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
[ro4444]:
When I edited the Sealand dynasty kings list, there was a nonspecific [5 Kings] in between Gulkishar and Ea-Gamil. I found another list that had four kings in between the two, and edited those in. However, there still may be a king missing from the list.
hostkingdom generally has reliable lists, which is why I use it.User:Ro4444

With at least a few covering ancient times. Also, the original list was definately created from this webpage: http://www.friesian.com/notes/newking.htm#babylonia Ro4444
All the special signs used by Assyriologist when transcribing words from the Akkadian language is not found at Wikipedia, and are very rare fonts anyhow. We should better limit our use to the letters in the English alphabet. This make the words more easy to find and use in an encyclopedia for non-experts. The velar h and the emphatic s and t are better written with plain h, s and t. It is doubtful even if š should be used in favour of sh, at least not in entries without a redirection to -sh-.
I have edited the king list in according to the above. --JFK 14:33, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
There are two Ninth Dynasties. I suspect that the first group is actually part of Dynasty VIII--the website mentioned above as the original source of this list has these kings listed under Dynasty VIII--but I have no knowledge of the subject beyond that page and this, so if someone can back me up on this and fix it, that would be great.
That would clear up the following problem with Dynasty VIII, however, regarding Dynasty VII: a single ruler is not a dynasty. A dynasty is by definition a series of rulers. Perhaps someone could suggest an alternative nomenclature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.66.104 (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Would there be a problem if I tabulated the king lists and converted them to short chronology? (like the Sumerian king list) Categorystuff (talk) 00:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
There is a difference between the dates in the Table and the Picture and other references. Which Dates are right? 624 – 582 BC or 605–562 BC? 80.187.103.77 (talk) 08:36, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
