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.

Does anyone know if other scholars have taken a crack at these plaster fragments? I think I'm going to remove or improve this translation, but I'm backing it up here for now.
(1) ...to Yahweh of the Teman, and to his Asherah,
(2) ...all which he asks from a man he will give generously. And if he entices, Yahwe(h) shall give to him

You have not indicated a reason for removal. You also can't add your own translation unless you first publish it in a reliable source. We allow editor-translations of modern languages, but for ancient languages that is too far into WP:NOR territory. By all means find alternative published translations and compare them.

Isn't the calf nursing from a cow and not a bull? That motif is depicted many times as a calf nursing from an udder in relief sculptures. The calf is also nursing from where the udder is located and multiple visible teats is something that can be observed from real nursing calves. The bull's penis is located closer to its belly so the calf is not nursing from that. Why does the article state a calf and bull instead of a calf and cow? 2600:6C55:27F:E7C7:A380:C1C8:16B2:CBD0 (talk) 08:59, 9 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
