If Ramesses date of accession to the throne is recorded as III Shemu, day 27, which most Egyptologists believe to be 31 May 1279 BC, and the date of Ramesses II's recorded death on II Akhet day 6, and which A. J. Peden's estimated that between the two dates that Ramesses II had been ruling Egypt for 66 years 2 months and 9 days, then shouldn't the date of Ramesses II's death be 9 August 1213 BC? 129.89.234.101 (talk) 17:22, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Unless specifically calculated and reported in a reliable source, the existing c.1213 should remain. LizardJr8 (talk) 01:57, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Not done for now: If you could provide a reliable source, the edit could be done. Warriorglance(talk to me) 06:27, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

I meant to cite MOS:IMG in the edit summary, to be clear. Remsense ‥ 论 00:59, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Please don't delete information for no substantive reason other than 'your opinion' ('imo'), thanks. Ario1234 (talk) 01:07, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

If that is your only retort given everything else I have articulated so far, it's hard not to see that as being done in bad faith on your part. You are not actually confused about what my argument is, and it's unacceptable to ignore other editors' stated concerns repeatedly like this. Remsense ‥ 论 02:35, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

@Ario1234, Remsense's argument was not simply "imo"; his full edit summary, from which you extracted one word, was "section is adequately illustrated imo; unclear to me what additional value this illustration provides when compared to the others". I tend to agree with this; I don't see what value yet another stylized, fragmentary image of Ramesses's face adds to the article. Can you provide a policy-based rationale consistent with MOS:IMG for adding this image? CodeTalker (talk) 02:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Please remove Ramesses II mummy image from infobox, it is already in the article in the section about his death. 129.89.234.111 (talk) 14:04, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template.

I do not see why? The infobox is the front of the article. It's quite normal for those to contain images of the subject. Slomo666 (talk) 14:15, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Not every pharaoh infobox has the MUMMY of said pharaoh, it's usually only the statues or reliefs listed. Plus, who even wants to see a CORPSE as the first image when they open the page? 129.89.234.111 (talk) 14:22, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
