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.

This page appears to have conflated two different figures, both named Autophradates:
1.) the Satrap of Lydia under Artaxerxes II, active from the 390s-350s BC, who was involved in the events of the Great Satraps' Revolt;
2.) the Achaemenid general who campaigned against Alexander in the Aegean as recounted by Arrian.
Not only would Autophradates have been over 70 years old if these are the same person, but Arrian names Spithridates as Lydian satrap at the Granicus. Unless Autophradates abdicated or was deposed, this should indicate that a conflation has occurred. Spithridates is also listed as satrap for this period in the following Wikipedia articles:
