Here are some tasks you can do:
- Article requests: We should have an article on every pharaoh and every nome (law) in ancient Egypt. Let's check to see whether every important Egyptologist has an article. Surely, we can think of other articles that we should have.
- Cleanup: To begin, most of the general-history, and at least some of the dynasty, articles badly need work. Are there any other candidates?
- Expand: "Standardize the Chronology": This is a boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates! Why say Khufu lived between 2589 and 2566 BCE? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 BCE or 2585-2563 BCE.
- Infobox: Add an infobox or navbox to any article that doesn't have one yet.
- Stubs: Anyone?
- Update: Any article with dated (obsolete) information.
- Verify: Fix / reclaim the Great Pyramid of Giza.
- Wikify: "Data sorting": Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- the writings of Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, J. H. Breasted, or Kenneth Kitchen -- and see whether you can smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. This is probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts yet can't access a research library.

[edit] List of Egyptian papyri by date
How about moving this to List of Egyptian papyri by date? It would be a better, self-describing title. JoaoRicardotalk 04:31, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- I will do that right now. It's nice to have some input, at the very beginning. Thanks. MichaelMcAnnis,YumaARIZMmcannis 01:42, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- Give me a couple of days to think about this. The Papyri are not only Egyptian, (though 95 % will be Egyptian).MMcAnnisMmcannis 01:51, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
To say this list is chronological is misleading, since the order reflects the historical settings of the texts on the papyri, rather than the age of the papyri themselves. For example, P. Westcar was made c.1650 BC, but the tale on it is set in the 4th dynasty.
