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 Tharbis appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 March 2009, and was viewed approximately 1,816 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that early sources suggested that Moses had taken an Ethiopian wife named Tharbis after laying siege to her city, prior to his ascendancy to prophethood in the Jewish faith?

Hi, A citation is made next to Tharbis being alternatively Adoniah, referring to the Book of Jasher, two chapters being included in the citation (if I am reading it correctly). I did not find Adnoiah or Tharbis mentioned by name within these chapters. Can you please narrow down which passages (by chapter and verse number) refer to this or to whatever reason the citation was included? (And message me?) Thanks!

According to one Midrash[1], Moses fled Egypt at the age of 40, after which time the events described in Josephus occurred, resulting in his ruling Ethiopia for 27 years until the age of 67. He then departed for Midian where he settled with Yitro, marrying Tzipora 10 years later at the age of 77. After the birth of his two sons, Gershon and Eliezer, he had the experience of the buring bush and returned to Egypt upon God's bidding at the age of 80 in order to redeem the Jewish People from slavery.
Thank you. You apparently didn't sign your comment, so I don't know whom to address, and strangely, there is no date on your comment. Thank you for the comment and reference, but I don't see in the comment a connection to my question. I just saw that I received an email on February 12, 2017 offering more info, without actually including the additional info.... Misty MH (talk) 00:48, 17 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
