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.

Uh, this article has problems. With no sources cited whatsoever, I cannot accept the claims about the mystical name-giving personification of childbirth philosophy. Richard H. Wilkinson's Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt says she is a goddess of harvest and agriculture and that her name means "snake who nourishes." He mentions nothing whatsoever about her giving names, and her only connection to childbirth according to him is from being a nurse to children, later identified with Meskhenet and eventually with Shait during the Late Period. This thing about names looks like some non-expert's total speculation based on a speculative but incorrect etymology. 209.162.56.97 (talk) 19:04, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
And this is a less serious problem, but how is a snake-shaped deity "anthropomorphic" anyway? Seriously. 209.162.56.97 (talk) 19:08, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Furthermore, how can the author of this article claim that all Egyptian snake gods were female because Egyptians thought all snakes are female, and then one paragraph later mention Renenutet's son, the male snake god Neheb-kau? The ancient Egyptians believed in multiple male snake gods: including Neheb-kau, Mehen, Wamemty, and especially Apep/Apophis (you'd think anyone familiar with Egyptian myth would have heard of him!). 209.162.56.97 (talk) 19:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
I agree with the points you make, the article is poorly written, inaccurate and misleading, why don't you change it?Apepch7 (talk) 20:41, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
