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.

By all means please move this page if anyone has a better way to disambig two Tiaas. However, currently we had Amenhotep II's wife linking to Seti II's, so I had to split them. And I may have misspelled Sety, it's just that I've seen it both i and y, and don't know which is right/which we're using. Thanatosimii19:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
From article namespace nothing linked to the other Tiaa, only to the wife of Amenhotep II. It would be best to move the original page back to the "Tiaa" title. Seti II did not have a wife named Tiaa, Siptah's mother was a Syrian called Sutailja (or something similar). The confusion was caused by the fact that the tomb of the 18th dynasty Tiaa is adjacent to Siptah's tomb, and floodwater washed some of the items inscribed with "King's Mother Tiaa" to Siptah's tomb. See Dodson, Aidan; Hilton, Dyan (2004). The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt. London: Thames & Hudson. ISBN0-500-05128-3. p.140. This article is about a nonexistent person :) There is another Tiaa, though, the granddaughter of Queen Tiaa. In Hungarian Wikipedia I solved the problem by having Queen Tiaa as the first meaning of the word and disambiguating the granddaughter as Tiaa (princess). regards, – Alenshatalk14:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you say so... I'm not entierly sure exactly what you even said, but then again, I know little about 19th dynasty stuff. All I know is there was this Sety II stuff where there needed to be an article about Amenhotep II's wife, so I moved this one under the assumption that there were two such queens.
