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.

New references listed Menkaura's son Sekhemre as her son too.--Mychele (talk) 15:28, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Which references are those? I looked at Dodson-Hilton, Grajetzki and Tyldesley and none of them mention this. These are the most recent references. What other new reference are you referring to?
This information cames from Giza website, where page about Sekhemre mentions that he was either a sonor grandson of this queen, her descendant, because he is described as her sa ("son"). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.53.179.232 (talk) 07:33, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I read the articles by Baud and Callender/Janosi. The situation is a bit more complex than that. He may be a son or grandson, but that is far from certain. Callender/Janosi include the possibility that this is an intrusive burial from a later period. This is one reason not to go off websites. Reading the actual articles and getting the real information is the best way to go. I added the information about Sekhemre under the burial section with inline references. --AnnekeBart (talk) 14:51, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
