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.

I believe the name of this page is in error. The original article on Egyptian hieroglyphs calls them "triliteral signs." Could you double check this? --Bookgrrl 00:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
I have corrected the above. There needs to be a great deal of work to get this page upto scratch though! Markh 11:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I corrected the statement that the biliterals, and triliterals were only made of consonants. (A few are composed of only 2-vowels). Vowels are obviously numerous in the biliterals/triliterals.

Is there a reason the sign 𓊢 (P6, U+132A2 "mast") is transliterated the way it is, i.e. 'h_', instead of a more proper form? According to Omniglot, Gardiner and JSesh it should be ꜥḥꜥ (MdC aHa). --Panglossa [ Talk ] 16:48, 7 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
