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.

Hi there, The Naharin article should be preserved. It contains a direct link to the kingdom of Mitanni that is easily accessible. Secondly, anyone who reads it would know right away that it is the Egyptian term for Mitanni. Other Near Eastern pages have disambigulation pages for the same subject: see Hittite. There should be at least one for Mitanni too. Thank You, Leoboudv 20:23, 23 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

A lot of people are under the impression that Mitanni and Naharin are precisely corrolated. They aren't. One is a state, the other is a geographical area with history independant of Mitanni. It doesn't deserve a delete, nor a redirect. As I have said before, I say again: this would be like deleting Anatolia because we have Turkey. They are not quite the same thing.

I agree. The Naharin stub should be retained. It will be useful for future Wikipedia users who are interested in Ancient Near Eastern history. Leoboudv 07:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
The article makes the terms seem synonymous - "the Ancient Egyptian term for the kingdom of Mitanni". If Naharin means something else, that needs to be specified in the article. IansAwesomePizza (talk) 04:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
