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 similar style name to the two part name of Nfr-t, and of the same time period is Nefertiabet. Her name is "nfr-t, iab-t"... beauty-female... eastern-female. Her article uses: "Beatiful One of the East"....As with Nofret: the easiest way to say it would be Eastern Beauty, or The Eastern Beauty, and for Nofret: The Wise & Beutiful (woman) or ...The Beutiful Wise One (leaving out the "king" part of 'nsw-r(kh)-t', (the nsw)... I think in could be a good idea to put some alternative "meanings" in some cases.
The Eastern Beauty, implies she is a 'woman', and for a guy, (from the East)(not done of course) it would be: The Eastern Handsome(one).
With the above argument, and if the back of Nofret statue does NOT clarify her name, then her name is like The Eastern Beauty's, and her name should be: "The Kingdom's Wise Beauty" (like I say, from the same Time Period as Nefertiabet)...(from the HotArizona..DesertUSA...Mmcannis (talk) 17:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
So how does the name: Nfr-t get the "o" to "Nofret"? And why isn't her name "Neferet", (or "Nefer-Tee") and is her name pronounced 'Nefer-Tee'?...- (or is it pronounced Nefer-ett(e), (like the feminine "ette", diminutive for Female).... Why not put apostrophe's: N' f 'r-T(ee), or N' f 'r-eT(Te)-(=N' f 'r'(e)T)....? (from the HotSonoran DesertArizonaUSA).....Mmcannis (talk) 00:31, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
