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. I have a nice timeline for this dynasty – looks a little better than the table (IMHO).
Any comments? Markh 15:30, 6 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
I have one - the 19th Dynasty is a fiction. Ramose is placed over 500 years out of date. Read carefully the documents pertaining to the Carchemosh battle and compare that to the life of RII.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Thedoctorp (talk • contribs) 17:37, 2009 June 25 (UTC)

This paragraph refers to "Kadesh" (twice) - but the map shows a "Qadesh". If these are one and the same, can the text or the map be altered to be consistent? Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 04:00, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Although this paragraph is headed "Merneptah", it deals with Merneptah, Seti II, Amenmesse, Siptah and Twosret. Perhaps change the heading to "Merneptah and later rulers"? Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 04:04, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
I went with "Merneptah and successors". A. Parrot (talk) 16:23, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
