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.

(Changing Importance to "Mid")-Besides the use in: Language, linguistics Goddesses, etc Pharaonic Titulary I assume the importance should be MID, especially because of the names for the Pharaohs...(from the ArizonaUSA, SonoranDesert)...--Mmcannis (talk) 11:16, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure whether it is a good idea to delete a whole article. Several people invested time and energy to write this and certainly not all was wrong. The new, much smaller article also has some problems. A statement like: humble citizens, priests and even royal heirs had to write Râ's name with the signs mouth + arm + single stroke might be true for the Old Kingdom, but from the Middle Kingdom onward it is simply not true. Furthermore, the relevance of this statement in an otherwise pretty short article, is not not so obvious. best wishes -- Udimu (talk) 06:53, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
