Conventions

For dates between ca. 2300 – 1000 BC, use (or convert to) short chronology dates (and label the chronology used), for consistency within Wikipedia. See the short chronology timeline for reference.
When transcribing cuneiform words, hyphenate the word parts, for ease of research (i.e. see cuneiform script#transcribing). e.g. Enmebaragesi > En-me-barage-si
Transcribe 'š' (sometimes 'c') as 'sh'. e.g. Aššur > Ashur
- The exception is the Hittite language, where the /s/-sound is traditionally transcribed 'š', and should be rendered a simple 's', e.g. Hattuša > Hattusa. (except where tradition, again, has done differently, e.g. Kadeš > Kadesh)
Transcribe 'g̃' or 'ĝ' (sometimes 'j') as 'ng', even at the beginning of words. e.g. G̃irsu > Ngirsu

(transcriptions necessarily lose information, i.e. double letters, such as in 'Aššur', can't be destinguished from single, and some distinctions are lost, such as /š/ vs. /s/+/h/, or the /ŋ/ in 'singer' vs. the /ŋ/+/g/ in 'finger'.)
