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.

User_talk:Dbachmann has just made this into quite a nice article... I assume its importance should be at least MID, if not higher. (MID and START)
The corpus of cosmetic palettes includes 5 to 15-(of 70+-?) with hieroglyph, scenes, or elements. One nearly complete "non-standard" palette, (many are not typical) is shaped between two arms, represented by the Ka-(Egyptian soul, and Article, Ka statue),
Shortly after Naqada III, the Mummy labels or Grave goods-labels, some made of ebony or ivory, showed the "arms with the feather" in between.
I assume, the interesting period that precedes all of the Naqadas, I, II, III is when the rhomboidal palettes evolved into the different form, or being a "standardized" cosmetic palette & with the appearance of hieroglyph usage.Mmcannis (talk) 16:35, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Scorpion and Narmer palettes in particular and a long list of other palettes, maceheads, ivory labels, ostracons, and instances of recognizable glyphs include three glyphs which reference the [Earth god Aker] Double headed lions or lions facing in two different directions; tri flowered plants such as
M8,
M15,and
M16, a humanoid figure attached across a register to a tri flowered plant, the personified
M8 glyph, with Horus using the k3 priests tool
U20, of opening the ways on a man's head coming up out of the inundated field, and the subject of the Narmer pose on the face of the Narmer palette below the personified M8 glyph labeled
