Pierre, I really like your topic for this article. I have always enjoyed learning about Ancient Egyptians and I know that they used Papyrus to document a lot of their history. Currently your outline is pretty basic, you could add in some sub categories for your main categories, like what the type of threats are and what type of treatments are available. I would also like to see if there are any projects currently going on? Are there any pieces of papyrus that you know of that is undergoing treatment right now or what are the scientist working on to solve a particular type of deterioration. I did a quick search online and I came up with The Fitzwilliam Museum (you may already know about this project). They are currently working on trying to conserve the papyrus of the book of the dead (http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/gallery/papyrus/conservation/). Princeton University also has a site about how to store papyrus (http://cool.conservation-us.org/coolaic/sg/bpg/annual/v13/bp13-10.html). As far as does your outline follow the guidelines for Wikipedia, this is not easy to do since it is just an outline but you definitely have an interesting topic, and once you start writing your article I would like to read it and learn how we are conserving the history that is written on the papyrus.

Pierre, I'm excited to see this article come together! As I mentioned, this will be immediately relevant and useful to me. (I'm actually meeting with a papyrus conservator in Berlin in two weeks to learn about papyrus conservation.) Your outline leaves much to the imagination, so I'm interested to see where you take it. One thing you might consider is imaging practices (going along with my article) that aid in conserving papyrus. Imaging helps to see what is going on with the fibers of the papyrus before you even touch it. Different types of imaging can also tell you about the state of the ink (in some circumstances I've seen very faded inks become brilliantly legible under the right conditions). So while it may appear in porr shape to the naked eye, there is much more there.
