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.

A fact from Mary Brodrick appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 January 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that when Mary Brodrick(pictured) applied to study Egyptology at the Sorbonne in Paris, she was told, "But we do not take little girls here"?
Archaeologists are listed under scientists on this page and the Women scientists WP banner has been added to the talk pages for many women archaeologists. Archaeology is more of a science than it used to be but has not been traditionally thought of as one.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 20:23, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Understood, but I don't think it was very scientific when she was involved. I don't feel strongly about it but nothing I have read about her indicates she was of a scientific bent. I think she was more of a linguist and historian. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I added WPWS here because of the examples found on other articles; I don't think it is a good idea to group archaeologists with scientists unless they specalise in applying another science to archaeology.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 21:32, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
