Looking for Wikipedia pages
(from the Village Pump) I'm looking for the page that directs the "Did You Know?" section on the front page. Who decides what we see there?
I also want to know if there's a New pages patrol, just like the RC patrol.
Anyone with info please contact me hear or at my talk page. MGM 10:20, May 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Template:Did you know is shown in the main page, and Wikipedia:Recent additions is the history thereof. The rules are in the corresponding talk page MediaWiki talk:Did you know. Wikipedia:New pages patrol is for the new pages patrol, but it's rather quiet over there. -- Chris 73 | Talk 02:01, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

Egyptian cat
It's probably an odd question, but I'd really like to know. Ancient Egyptian could simply use the drawing of a cat to represent the word cat, but suppose they used the hieroglyphs to represent the sounds of the ancient word for cat, what glyphs would they use? Mgm|(talk) 11:28, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
- The hieroglyphs for cat, miw, combine the glyphs for m, i and w with a picture of a cat. For a picture, see here (http://www.omniglot.com/writing/egyptian.htm) (search for "picture of a cat"). - Nunh-huh 01:58, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I thought I'd chip in that Wikipedia can deal with Egyptian hieroglyphs: the word for cat is:
<hiero>mi-i-w-E13</hiero> which must have sounded remarkably like 'miaow'! --Gareth Hughes 23:32, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
