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.
Looks like this is the same person as Piye, isn't he? If so, we should better make a redirect out of this. --Proofreader (talk) 10:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
>> Yep, it is. I tried to redirect, but you have to be an administrator... :\ There was a request for deletion debate a while ago, but people got confused with the fact that this person was BOTH the king of Kush/Nubia (south of Egypt) AND southern Egypt. The second issue is that his name in older literature was Piankhy (or variant), but now recognised as Piye. Ie, people one wikipedia have split this person into TWO people, when infact there was one. 87.115.167.212 (talk) 22:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
