OK.
There is a 21-cell pure glider generator in Life whose initial configuration consists entirely of lone dots, but
it is currently not known whether there is a smaller one.

This year, a traditional Chinese holiday similar to Hallowmas falls on Hallowmas Day.
EDIT: There is an obscure relationship between Conway's Life and Neography.
I suppose most of you know the Snark in Conway's Life.
Did you know where the name of the Snark comes from?
It's from a poem by Lewis Carroll.
The poem also mentions the Bandersnatch and the Bellman.
What's interesting that the poem's Chinese version involves Neography to deal with the neologism.

Just a question: Should I add relevant examples from here to the Lifewiki DYK section?

Almost certainly "no". Due in part to the fact that you did not actually list/link which examples you consider "relevant", and in part because of the preceding discussion regarding DYK:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1565&start=100
Instead, if you think some fact can be made into a DYK item, please post a specific suggested wording in the forum thread
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1565 and let other people judge whether or not it makes a good DYK.

Code: Select all
x=0,y=0,rule=B345-a6/S2-a3-a4-a

Edit:one more for you
Code: Select all

ColorfulGalaxy kept mispronouncing "Basiknight" as /ˌba-si-ˈknigʰt/ (IPA) or "Басикниг(ь)т" (Russian).
The video game called "Push the cat with WASD" has a level featuring a dot, a glider, a block, 2 blinkers, a tub, a boat, a ship, a toad and an R-pentomino.

If "I love you" were transliterated into Japanese and then, interpreted as Chinese characters, transcribed in the Shidinn ( XDI8AHO ) chat alphabet, the name of a well known multi-state circuit rule will appear as a substring (case sensitive) of the result.
