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.

Look at the hieroglyphs - were is the glyph for w and what means the last sign?--Mychele (talk) 18:40, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The "w" is given in parentheses because it's not always written. The last glyph is a "mouth". The viper and the mouth are sometimes written with the "nefer" sign to indicate nfr. I think the spelling comes from Ranke? --AnnekeBart (talk) 19:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see "f" and "r" but I can't see "n". I think you forget this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.136.182.237 (talk) 11:15, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No the n is part of the nfr sign (heart and windpipe). The spelling used in the unicode transliteration comes from de:Bunefer. The hieroglyphic spelling is supported by what is written in Tyldesley and Grajetzki, --AnnekeBart (talk) 12:12, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So actually sign for beauty or nfr is here a sign for "n", while signs for "f" and "r" are separate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.53.179.232 (talk) 13:08, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The nfr part of the name is spelled out by the nefer sign plus the f and r glyph. I have seen the same in the writing of htp. That can be made up of the hotep glyph but with an extra t and p glyph --AnnekeBart (talk) 13:22, 20 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]
