History of timekeeping devices reaches A-Class Status—On May 22 the history of time keeping article was promoted by
User:Zginder to A-Class. This is our only article to reach this prestigious status. This was only possible with the dedication of the
Tzatziki Squad. They are continuing to work on the article to reach Feature Article status.
Merkhet was a DYK—The article appeared on the
Main Page on April 28. With this text: "... that merkhets were
Ancient Egyptian timekeeping devices that tracked the movement of certain stars over the
meridian in order to ascertain the time during the night, when
sundials could not function?" This also was only possible thanks to the Tzatziki Squad.
