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.

It would be nice to have a source for the claim that the office dates back to the 10th and 12th dynasties.
Given that Amun did not come into prominence until the 12th dynasty the existence of a God's wife of Amun at those times seems peculiar.
The latter part is just confusing. The page is about the God's Wife of Amun, so how are the God's wives from cults of other deities related to this?

I’m fairly certain that ḥmt-nṯr is simply the feminine form of ḥm-nṯr (“priest,” lit.'servant of god') and that there is no such title as “God’s Wife of Amun,” but rather simply the "Priestess of Amun." In fact, whenever the title ḥmt-nṯr is used in reference to a deity, the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae translates it as “priestess.” On the other hand, when standing on its own ḥmt-nṯr may mean either “queen consort” or “priestess," depending on the context.
