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.

According to Memnon, Amastris had two sons and one daughter by Dionysius, the daughter was named Amastris too. The English translation of Memnon is not clear to which Amastris (mother or daughter) Lysimachus was married. See here: http://www.attalus.org/translate/memnon1.html .

She is "...of Amastris". Amastris isn't her name. It's the name of the place that she is from. 96.241.228.73 (talk) 14:00, 7 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Do you have any idea what her name was? Any sources? Asarelah (talk) 16:08, 7 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
Amastris was also a town on the North coast of Asia Minor (Turkey), today Amasra. Is it just me or doesn't Wikipedia say anything about this town? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:6883:1900:1D79:E24:237A:BE5B (talk) 17:25, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
It's mentioned in paragraph 4 of the article and there is an article at Amasra. I've added a hat note. Furius (talk) 11:40, 8 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
