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.

I've been very slowly working on Rosetta Stone decree and it needs a 'context' section. This article has a fantastic 'context' section, and far more thorough than anything I could hope to write given its featured article status. If it is okay with everyone here, I will copy the two or three paragraphs and bits and pieces needed from here to Rosetta Stone decree. Let me know if this is not the right course of action!

That should be fine. However, you'll need to state in you edit summary that it was copied from this article. Be sure you copy over all the sources for the text you copy. BilCat (talk) 01:03, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

The "Description" section contains a 3D image of the Rosetta stone, with which in principle one should be able to interact (by using the mouse cursor). In reality, neither Firefox 116.0.2, nor Microsoft Edge 115.0.1901.203 are able to display the 3D image, let alone also interact with it. If this cannot be fixed, maybe remove the 3D image altogether? 109.98.44.53 (talk) 11:04, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Folks, it's been pretty long time since I am trying to find any information on the content of the Rosetta stone in translation into English or Russian. I've found nothing. They say it was decephered, but if it was why no information what Rosetta Stone is about?
