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.

No. Lower Egypt only covers the Delta Region. Heracleopolis is thus in Upper Egypt (or Middle Egypt, for that matter) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:EBF7:9C00:8853:E2AF:ED72:B41C (talk) 20:26, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Absudar, Vif12vf, and Deor: We now have a separate article on Ihnasya, but its talk page redirected here. I've created a second talk page for now. Is it helpful to keep both articles, or should they be merged? Certes (talk) 19:09, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Someone had moved this article to Ihnasya back in September, and I just undid the move, creating a redirect from Ihnasya (and its talk page) to here. That person then created the new Ihnasya article by overwriting the redirect page, and there was no activity on its talk page, so the talk page remained a redirect. Since there is a modern town in Egypt named Ihnasya (or Ihnasya al Madinah), I see no reason to merge the articles—cf. Caesarea Maritima and Caesarea, Israel, or Sparta and Sparta, Laconia, articles about ancient and modern settlements at basically the same locations. Others may differ, however.
