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.

Another editor coded out the praenomen information until s/he had access to Clayton's book. I corrected it because what's going on is that there are two numbering schemes for the Mentuhoteps: the one used here where Mentuhotep I (merely a nomarch of Thebes) is counted, and the one Clayton evidently uses, where our Mentuhotep II becomes "Mentuhotep I" because he was the first of that name to rule Egypt. The editor who had added the incorrect praenomen must have been confused by that discrepancy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.202.192 (talk) 04:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There are not only two numbering schemes. There are some more, because Mentuhotep Nebhepetre changed his names several times during his reign and we don't know now, what is an individual king and what is just another name of Nebhepetre (Nebkhrure, Sematawi etc.).90.186.0.22 (talk) 22:53, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
