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.
Too put it in both Israel and the Palestinian territories is wrong, it is a part of the West Bank and that is not in Israel. This is very clear and otherwise it is a violation of WP:NPOV. This is why we don't put Israeli settlements and other places in the West Bank under categories that says it is in Israel. --IRISZOOM (talk) 19:57, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
West Bank is a term used to avoid POV. It is acertain area, it is not synonymous with Palestinian territories or State of Palestine. The area can be regarded as either Israeli or Palestinian (or Jordanian...). Wikipedia has no view on this (nor do I). It is, as they say, disputed. At any rate the place is de facto in Israel: if you steal its antiquities, you have an issue with Israeli police. To the point, if there is a populated Category:Archaeological sites in the West Bank, that would be best. Turns out there is. :) trespassers william (talk) 20:27, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is a part of the Palestinian territories or Palestine, along with Gaza Strip. It can't be regarded as Israeli too. Wikipedia is based on facts. That Israel controls the area makes no difference, as they also controls the area of Israeli settlements but that still doesn't make it a part of Israel. It is not "disputed" but regarded as Israeli-occupied territories.
Yes, there is a category for that but it is still important to know this. NPOV and being based on facts is essential. --IRISZOOM (talk) 20:53, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
