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.

Shouldn't this article be merged with Via Traiana Nova as they are both the same? Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 10:39, 15 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Checkingfax: Can you give me your thoughts as to if these two articles should be merged? Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 10:31, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hi Picomtn. I do not know. Wikipedia:Merging is a tedious, punctilious, manual procedure. You are off to a good start by creating this discussion. You should do the same on the other article's Talk page. Remember: all Wikipedia edits are copyrighted by the author of the edits so you must maintain attribution during a Merge. The wikilink above will walk you through it but the directions are confusing and contradictory. Be sure to be exact in your edit summaries when you copy/paste to make the merge. Include wikilinks in your Merge edit summaries. Make sure to Redirect the retired page to the "new" page. Redirects are really easy. You blank the retired page and replace it with:
#REDIRECT [[Page name of target]]
{{R from merge}}
Be sure to add an edit summary with proper copyright attribution.
Your Merge proposal above does not make it crystal clear which page would be retired and which page would be the new combined page.
Merges are hard because you have to blend the content and citations very carefully. Do not do a simple copy/paste overwrite. That is why it is referred to as a "manual process". Look in the edit history of the Talk pages and Article pages to find editors to reach out to regarding a proposed Merge. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 23:39, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Picomtn, have you looked at the deletion discussion linked above? The relation to Via T Nova was mentioned too. trespassers william (talk) 21:39, 17 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
