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.

Rewrite
I arrived at this page via the copy editing flag, and thought it needed a complete rewrite. The main goal was to correct the misconception that they were grammarians in the modern sense. They were not -- they were philologists. I looked at the existing references and footnotes, but they were only mentions of the Alexandrine grammarians, not discussions. Roy Harris's ideas about context in linguistics belong in the article about Harris, not in an article about Hellenistic textual critics. So I left that out completely. --

Well done for the philologist-ancient grammarian disambiguation. Not so for removing references, which is disruptive; please preserve them whenever possible. Those sources, even as talking only incidentally about Alexandrine grammarians, nonetheless provided refs for statements that were left unreferenced in the new revision. Thogmartin (1984) in particular is a tertiary source that gave a valuable observation on the working approaches of the grammarians.--
