<br />
*<big>'''A public bank is a bank that is owned by the people through a city, county, state, or nation.''' It is designed to manage public funds, not the deposits of individuals. Just like other banks, a public bank holds a bank charter and follows rules and regulations. A public bank differs from a for-profit bank in that it is guided by a mission to serve the public good, not to generate profits for private shareholders.</big><br />
<br />
*<big>'''A public bank is managed by banking professionals who earn public servants’ wages.''' It is required to be transparent, truthful, and accountable to the public about the ways it manages the public’s funds. It is designed to follow the public’s mission, independent of political meddling and favoritism.</big><br />
<br />
*<big>'''Such a bank can use this pool of public money to fund projects and programs that benefit the public over the long term'''—the very same projects/programs that are currently being cut from state and local budgets. Rather than entrusting public funds to a bank that may gamble with our deposits, a public bank would make conservative investments in local projects and services that are well supported by the community. Communities with public banks have access to low-interest loans. As the loans are paid off, the interest helps grow the bank’s capacity to invest back into the public it serves; it becomes a new source of public revenue.</big><br />
<br />
*<big>'''The Bank of North Dakota''', founded in 1919 provides a model in this country for the benefits of a public bank. State assets are used to capitalize the Bank and all the state’s revenues are deposited there. North Dakota was the only state to come through the 2008 recession unscathed. In 2010, it had the lowest unemployment and home foreclosure rates in the country as well as the most community banks per capita. The Bank makes low interest loans to students, existing small businesses and start-ups; supports local governments by buying municipal bonds; has demonstrated its ability to respond quickly to natural disasters; and returned over $300 million to the state’s general fund in the last decade. '''Hundreds of public banks, managed according to many different models, are providing similar benefits throughout the world.'''</big><br />
<br />
*<big>'''In the United States''', most local tax revenues—the public‘s funds—are deposited in large private banks, which charge fees to manage the public’s money, and loan it back at interest for needed projects. Not only is the public essentially paying interest to use their own money, these big banks don’t generally invest locally, and their role in the global economic meltdown of 2008 contributed to widespread suffering and increased public debt burden.</big><br />
<br />
*<big>'''In sum, a public bank not only makes sound financial sense''', but is also a tool to grow a more resilient, just, and equitable economy. Public banks can drastically cut borrowing costs and bank fees for governments; cut financing costs in HALF for public infrastructure projects by saving on interest payments; support community-based banks; and boost jobs and Main Street. In Philadelphia, the bank can also prioritize building prosperity in unfunded and underfunded communities historically redlined by private banks.</big><br />
<br />
*<big>'''The evidence is overwhelming.''' With everything to gain, and nothing to lose, it’s time for Philadelphia to have its own public bank!</big><br />

You may also wish to check out <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Restaurant|Is-Restaurant]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Does-Theatre|Does-Theatre]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Cultural_Venue|Is-Cultural Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Arts_Venue|Is-Arts Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Music_Venue|Is-Music Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_Landmark|Is-Historic Landmark]]</u>, and <u>[[:Category:Is-City_Guide|Is-City Guide]]</u>.--><br />
<!--4. Philadelphia has many more museums than we ever knew, until we found as many of them as we could for Wikidelphia. See all we have in the <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u> Category list. Most museums are also marked with Categories that are more specific, e.g. <u>[[:Category:Is-Military_Museum|Is-Military Museum]]</u> or <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_House_Museum|Is-Historic House Museum]]</u>.--><br />
<!--5. Wikidelphia is a go-to site for volunteer opportunities. Under the Category <u>[[:Category:Using-Volunteers|Using_Volunteers]]</u>, just look over the big list of organizations, and pick one you want to volunteer for. The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
<!--9. Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")--><br />
<!--10. Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!--><br />
<!--11. The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".--><br />
&emsp;On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.<br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />

The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
<!--9. Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")--><br />
<!--10. Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!--><br />
<!--11. The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".--><br />
&emsp;On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.<br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />

<!--10. Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!--><br />
<!--11. The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".--><br />
&emsp;On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.<br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />

<!--1. <u>[[:Category:Is-Wikidelphia_Resource_Page|Wikidelphia Resource Pages]]</u> will sometimes be a great place for you to look. For example, the <u>[[Food and Agriculture Resource Page]]</u> includes a long list of Wikidelphia Categories covering a wide range on food, horticulture, agriculture, etc.--><br />
<!--2. When you want to add some fun things to your personal calendar, come on back over to Wikidelphia and have a look-see at "<u>[[:Category:Does-Event_Calendar|Does-Event Calendar]]</u>", our big collection of links to Wikidelphia pages that have event calendars! Many of the organizations and places on Wikidelphia have their own calendars, so pick some orgs you like the look of, and see if they have events you'd like to add to ''your'' calendar! When you get to each page, you'll find "Event Calendar" under the "Info" heading.--><br />
<!--3. If you're planning a visit to Philly, or you've already arrived, you'll benefit from a look at our Category <u>[[:Category:Is-Tourist_Attraction|Is-Tourist Attraction]]</u>. You may also wish to check out <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Restaurant|Is-Restaurant]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Does-Theatre|Does-Theatre]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Cultural_Venue|Is-Cultural Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Arts_Venue|Is-Arts Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Music_Venue|Is-Music Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_Landmark|Is-Historic Landmark]]</u>, and <u>[[:Category:Is-City_Guide|Is-City Guide]]</u>.--><br />

Most museums are also marked with Categories that are more specific, e.g. <u>[[:Category:Is-Military_Museum|Is-Military Museum]]</u> or <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_House_Museum|Is-Historic House Museum]]</u>.--><br />
<!--5. Wikidelphia is a go-to site for volunteer opportunities. Under the Category <u>[[:Category:Using-Volunteers|Using_Volunteers]]</u>, just look over the big list of organizations, and pick one you want to volunteer for. The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
<!--9. Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")--><br />

<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />

<!--1. <u>[[:Category:Is-Wikidelphia_Resource_Page|Wikidelphia Resource Pages]]</u> will sometimes be a great place for you to look. For example, the <u>[[Food and Agriculture Resource Page]]</u> includes a long list of Wikidelphia Categories covering a wide range on food, horticulture, agriculture, etc.--><br />
<!--2. When you want to add some fun things to your personal calendar, come on back over to Wikidelphia and have a look-see at "<u>[[:Category:Does-Event_Calendar|Does-Event Calendar]]</u>", our big collection of links to Wikidelphia pages that have event calendars! Many of the organizations and places on Wikidelphia have their own calendars, so pick some orgs you like the look of, and see if they have events you'd like to add to ''your'' calendar! When you get to each page, you'll find "Event Calendar" under the "Info" heading.--><br />
<!--3. If you're planning a visit to Philly, or you've already arrived, you'll benefit from a look at our Category <u>[[:Category:Is-Tourist_Attraction|Is-Tourist Attraction]]</u>. You may also wish to check out <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Restaurant|Is-Restaurant]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Does-Theatre|Does-Theatre]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Cultural_Venue|Is-Cultural Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Arts_Venue|Is-Arts Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Music_Venue|Is-Music Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_Landmark|Is-Historic Landmark]]</u>, and <u>[[:Category:Is-City_Guide|Is-City Guide]]</u>.--><br />
<!--4. Philadelphia has many more museums than we ever knew, until we found as many of them as we could for Wikidelphia. See all we have in the <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u> Category list. Most museums are also marked with Categories that are more specific, e.g. <u>[[:Category:Is-Military_Museum|Is-Military Museum]]</u> or <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_House_Museum|Is-Historic House Museum]]</u>.--><br />
<!--5. Wikidelphia is a go-to site for volunteer opportunities. Under the Category <u>[[:Category:Using-Volunteers|Using_Volunteers]]</u>, just look over the big list of organizations, and pick one you want to volunteer for. The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
<!--9. Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")--><br />
<!--10. Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!--><br />
<!--11. The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".--><br />
&emsp;On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.<br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />

The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />

<!--1. <u>[[:Category:Is-Wikidelphia_Resource_Page|Wikidelphia Resource Pages]]</u> will sometimes be a great place for you to look. For example, the <u>[[Food and Agriculture Resource Page]]</u> includes a long list of Wikidelphia Categories covering a wide range on food, horticulture, agriculture, etc.--><br />
<!--2. When you want to add some fun things to your personal calendar, come on back over to Wikidelphia and have a look-see at "<u>[[:Category:Does-Event_Calendar|Does-Event Calendar]]</u>", our big collection of links to Wikidelphia pages that have event calendars! Many of the organizations and places on Wikidelphia have their own calendars, so pick some orgs you like the look of, and see if they have events you'd like to add to ''your'' calendar! When you get to each page, you'll find "Event Calendar" under the "Info" heading.--><br />
<!--3. If you're planning a visit to Philly, or you've already arrived, you'll benefit from a look at our Category <u>[[:Category:Is-Tourist_Attraction|Is-Tourist Attraction]]</u>. You may also wish to check out <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Restaurant|Is-Restaurant]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Does-Theatre|Does-Theatre]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Cultural_Venue|Is-Cultural Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Arts_Venue|Is-Arts Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Music_Venue|Is-Music Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_Landmark|Is-Historic Landmark]]</u>, and <u>[[:Category:Is-City_Guide|Is-City Guide]]</u>.--><br />
<!--4. Philadelphia has many more museums than we ever knew, until we found as many of them as we could for Wikidelphia. See all we have in the <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u> Category list. Most museums are also marked with Categories that are more specific, e.g. <u>[[:Category:Is-Military_Museum|Is-Military Museum]]</u> or <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_House_Museum|Is-Historic House Museum]]</u>.--><br />
<!--5. Wikidelphia is a go-to site for volunteer opportunities. Under the Category <u>[[:Category:Using-Volunteers|Using_Volunteers]]</u>, just look over the big list of organizations, and pick one you want to volunteer for. The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
<!--9. Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")--><br />
<!--10. Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!--><br />
<!--11. The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".--><br />
&emsp;On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.<br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />

<div><big>{{toplink|url=https://www.instagram.com/mwsphila/|name=instagram.com/mwsphila}}</big>[[File:WatershedStewardsPHL.jpg|thumb|right|Watershed Stewards PHL in action.]]The Philadelphia Water Department and the LandHealth Institute recruit local students for their '''Watershed Stewards PHL''' program.<br />
<br />
Beginning in late spring, 15 high school students age 15-18 from the West Philadelphia area work alongside PWD, the LandHealth Institute and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation (PPR) for 11 weeks. The training sessions are held at the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center. Students learn how to protect the Darby-Cobbs watershed, which flows through many West and Southwest Philadelphia neighborhoods. The program covers such topics as '''ecology, watershed management and stormwater runoff'''. After the training sessions, students spend the summer applying the new skills in their communities. <br />
<br />
Students can earn up to $850 over the course of the program and also get help when applying for jobs and programs like Philadelphia Youth Network and Power Corps PHL.<br />

<!--1. <u>[[:Category:Is-Wikidelphia_Resource_Page|Wikidelphia Resource Pages]]</u> will sometimes be a great place for you to look. For example, the <u>[[Food and Agriculture Resource Page]]</u> includes a long list of Wikidelphia Categories covering a wide range on food, horticulture, agriculture, etc.--><br />
<!--2. When you want to add some fun things to your personal calendar, come on back over to Wikidelphia and have a look-see at "<u>[[:Category:Does-Event_Calendar|Does-Event Calendar]]</u>", our big collection of links to Wikidelphia pages that have event calendars! Many of the organizations and places on Wikidelphia have their own calendars, so pick some orgs you like the look of, and see if they have events you'd like to add to ''your'' calendar! When you get to each page, you'll find "Event Calendar" under the "Info" heading.--><br />
<!--3. If you're planning a visit to Philly, or you've already arrived, you'll benefit from a look at our Category <u>[[:Category:Is-Tourist_Attraction|Is-Tourist Attraction]]</u>. You may also wish to check out <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Restaurant|Is-Restaurant]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Does-Theatre|Does-Theatre]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Cultural_Venue|Is-Cultural Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Arts_Venue|Is-Arts Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Music_Venue|Is-Music Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_Landmark|Is-Historic Landmark]]</u>, and <u>[[:Category:Is-City_Guide|Is-City Guide]]</u>.--><br />
<!--4. Philadelphia has many more museums than we ever knew, until we found as many of them as we could for Wikidelphia. See all we have in the <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u> Category list. Most museums are also marked with Categories that are more specific, e.g. <u>[[:Category:Is-Military_Museum|Is-Military Museum]]</u> or <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_House_Museum|Is-Historic House Museum]]</u>.--><br />
<!--5. Wikidelphia is a go-to site for volunteer opportunities. Under the Category <u>[[:Category:Using-Volunteers|Using_Volunteers]]</u>, just look over the big list of organizations, and pick one you want to volunteer for. The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
<!--9. Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")--><br />
<!--10. Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!--><br />
&emsp;The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".<br />
<!--12. On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.--><br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />

<!--1. <u>[[:Category:Is-Wikidelphia_Resource_Page|Wikidelphia Resource Pages]]</u> will sometimes be a great place for you to look. For example, the <u>[[Food and Agriculture Resource Page]]</u> includes a long list of Wikidelphia Categories covering a wide range on food, horticulture, agriculture, etc.--><br />
<!--2. When you want to add some fun things to your personal calendar, come on back over to Wikidelphia and have a look-see at "<u>[[:Category:Does-Event_Calendar|Does-Event Calendar]]</u>", our big collection of links to Wikidelphia pages that have event calendars! Many of the organizations and places on Wikidelphia have their own calendars, so pick some orgs you like the look of, and see if they have events you'd like to add to ''your'' calendar! When you get to each page, you'll find "Event Calendar" under the "Info" heading.--><br />
<!--3. If you're planning a visit to Philly, or you've already arrived, you'll benefit from a look at our Category <u>[[:Category:Is-Tourist_Attraction|Is-Tourist Attraction]]</u>. You may also wish to check out <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Restaurant|Is-Restaurant]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Does-Theatre|Does-Theatre]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Cultural_Venue|Is-Cultural Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Arts_Venue|Is-Arts Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Music_Venue|Is-Music Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_Landmark|Is-Historic Landmark]]</u>, and <u>[[:Category:Is-City_Guide|Is-City Guide]]</u>.--><br />
<!--4. Philadelphia has many more museums than we ever knew, until we found as many of them as we could for Wikidelphia. See all we have in the <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u> Category list. Most museums are also marked with Categories that are more specific, e.g. <u>[[:Category:Is-Military_Museum|Is-Military Museum]]</u> or <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_House_Museum|Is-Historic House Museum]]</u>.--><br />
<!--5. Wikidelphia is a go-to site for volunteer opportunities. Under the Category <u>[[:Category:Using-Volunteers|Using_Volunteers]]</u>, just look over the big list of organizations, and pick one you want to volunteer for. The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
<!--9. Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")--><br />
<!--10. Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!--><br />
&emsp;The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".<br />
<!--12. On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.--><br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason.

'''Benjamin Rush State Park''' is located in the North East section of Philadelphia and is the only state park within the city boundary. The park provides the visitor with an area to enjoy the natural beauty of open spaces along with some Pennsylvania woodlands, places for study, recreation and the solace of gardening. The park offers much needed open space in this busy area. It is popular with hikers, bicyclers, birders and wildlife enthusiasts and is primarily used for passive day use activities. The park features one of the largest community gardens, a large area devoted to flying radio controlled model airplanes, multi-use trails that meander through open meadows and shady wooded areas.<br />

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in today's global marketplace. Although SBA has grown and evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations, SBA delivers its services to people throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands and Guam.<br />

<!--1. <u>[[:Category:Is-Wikidelphia_Resource_Page|Wikidelphia Resource Pages]]</u> will sometimes be a great place for you to look. For example, the <u>[[Food and Agriculture Resource Page]]</u> includes a long list of Wikidelphia Categories covering a wide range on food, horticulture, agriculture, etc.--><br />
<!--2. When you want to add some fun things to your personal calendar, come on back over to Wikidelphia and have a look-see at "<u>[[:Category:Does-Event_Calendar|Does-Event Calendar]]</u>", our big collection of links to Wikidelphia pages that have event calendars! Many of the organizations and places on Wikidelphia have their own calendars, so pick some orgs you like the look of, and see if they have events you'd like to add to ''your'' calendar! When you get to each page, you'll find "Event Calendar" under the "Info" heading.--><br />
<!--3. If you're planning a visit to Philly, or you've already arrived, you'll benefit from a look at our Category <u>[[:Category:Is-Tourist_Attraction|Is-Tourist Attraction]]</u>. You may also wish to check out <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Restaurant|Is-Restaurant]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Does-Theatre|Does-Theatre]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Cultural_Venue|Is-Cultural Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Arts_Venue|Is-Arts Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Music_Venue|Is-Music Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_Landmark|Is-Historic Landmark]]</u>, and <u>[[:Category:Is-City_Guide|Is-City Guide]]</u>.--><br />
<!--4. Philadelphia has many more museums than we ever knew, until we found as many of them as we could for Wikidelphia. See all we have in the <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u> Category list. Most museums are also marked with Categories that are more specific, e.g. <u>[[:Category:Is-Military_Museum|Is-Military Museum]]</u> or <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_House_Museum|Is-Historic House Museum]]</u>.--><br />
<!--5. Wikidelphia is a go-to site for volunteer opportunities. Under the Category <u>[[:Category:Using-Volunteers|Using_Volunteers]]</u>, just look over the big list of organizations, and pick one you want to volunteer for. The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
<!--9. Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")--><br />
&emsp;Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!<br />
<!--11. The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".--><br />
<!--12. On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.--><br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />

<div>This page was made for Wikidelphia editors who wish to see which are the oldest pages in the category [[:Category:Is-Page_Needing_Work|Is-Page Needing Work]]. It's good for keeping track of work-in-progress if we all do the following:<br />
<br />
#When you add a new page to Is-Page_Needing_Work, add an item (date and title) to the top of this list.<br />
#When you finish a page that's listed here, and so it doesn't need work anymore, come back here and delete its item.<br />
#If you only do part of the completion of update of a page, then before you move on, mark its item "(P)" on this list and move the item to the top.<br />

<!--1. <u>[[:Category:Is-Wikidelphia_Resource_Page|Wikidelphia Resource Pages]]</u> will sometimes be a great place for you to look. For example, the <u>[[Food and Agriculture Resource Page]]</u> includes a long list of Wikidelphia Categories covering a wide range on food, horticulture, agriculture, etc.--><br />
<!--2. When you want to add some fun things to your personal calendar, come on back over to Wikidelphia and have a look-see at "<u>[[:Category:Does-Event_Calendar|Does-Event Calendar]]</u>", our big collection of links to Wikidelphia pages that have event calendars! Many of the organizations and places on Wikidelphia have their own calendars, so pick some orgs you like the look of, and see if they have events you'd like to add to ''your'' calendar! When you get to each page, you'll find "Event Calendar" under the "Info" heading.--><br />
<!--3. If you're planning a visit to Philly, or you've already arrived, you'll benefit from a look at our Category <u>[[:Category:Is-Tourist_Attraction|Is-Tourist Attraction]]</u>. You may also wish to check out <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Restaurant|Is-Restaurant]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Does-Theatre|Does-Theatre]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Cultural_Venue|Is-Cultural Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Arts_Venue|Is-Arts Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Music_Venue|Is-Music Venue]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_Landmark|Is-Historic Landmark]]</u>, and <u>[[:Category:Is-City_Guide|Is-City Guide]]</u>.--><br />
<!--4. Philadelphia has many more museums than we ever knew, until we found as many of them as we could for Wikidelphia. See all we have in the <u>[[:Category:Is-Museum|Is-Museum]]</u> Category list. Most museums are also marked with Categories that are more specific, e.g. <u>[[:Category:Is-Military_Museum|Is-Military Museum]]</u> or <u>[[:Category:Is-Historic_House_Museum|Is-Historic House Museum]]</u>.--><br />
<!--5. Wikidelphia is a go-to site for volunteer opportunities. Under the Category <u>[[:Category:Using-Volunteers|Using_Volunteers]]</u>, just look over the big list of organizations, and pick one you want to volunteer for. The organization's Wikidelphia page will probably have a direct link to its Volunteer page where you can inquire or apply.--><br />
<!--6. When you do a search for something you already know the name of, there's a pretty good chance that you can just type in the acronym. For example, "FNC" will easily pull up the Federation of Neighborhood Centers.<br />
<!--7. Sometimes when you look at a Category, it has so many pages that you'd rather shrink the list before you look it over. That's what Multi-Category Search (in the left sidebar of every page) is for! If you use it to do a search using two or more Categories, the results will be easier to deal with.--><br />
<!--8. When you click or tap on an external link (a link that takes you outside Wikidelphia), a new window will open on the site you're going to. Then you can explore that freely, and when you're done, just tab-switch back to the Wikidelphia window. We made it this way so that you won't exit Wikidelphia until you actually decide to.--><br />
&emsp;Our X account (<u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]</u>), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:<br />
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)<br />
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events&mdash;both fun and serious&mdash;all over Philly. <br />
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.<br />
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.<br />
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")<br />
<!--10. Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to&mdash;or closely linked to&mdash;Philadelphia. The pages are still available, but they're located at our sister site, [https://www.othernetworks.org Other Networks (ON)], which is maintained by Wikidelphia's progenitor, Stan Pokras. ON has lots of fascinating links from around the nation and the world. Go have a look!--><br />
<!--11. The original idea behind naming our categories was to write something like the predicate of a sentence. Examples:<br />
*[[Tree House Books]] "Does-Book Giveaways".<br />
*[[Old City Fest]] "Is-Annual Event".<br />
*[[Triple Bottom Brewing]] "Makes-Beer".<br />
*[[New Freedom Theatre]] "Teaches-Acting".<br />
*[[Sally's Links]] is "About-Agriculture".--><br />
<!--12. On some of our pages, you'll see "(Is-Past)" in the title. It's part of what we do when a page's subject goes defunct. For example, a local nonprofit shuts down, and their Wikidelphia page's link goes dead. We'll try to find a new link, because maybe the organization is still open, but it changed its website. We do a search, and if that fails, then we mark the page "(Is-Past)". We don't delete it, because we want the information available to local historians, and also because a closure doesn't mean that the organization didn't have a great idea for somebody else to learn from and develop.--><br />
<!--13. One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting <u>[[News Sources|collection]]</u> of local sources.--><br />
<!--14. Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, <u>[https://www.othernetworks.org OtherNetworks.org]</u>. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover ''Philadelphia'', especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.<br>&emsp;''Note:''&ensp;Our <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 X account]</u> has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner [[User:Stan|Stan]]'s other long-term project, the [https://othernetworks.org/Humanity_Rising Humanity Rising] series archive.--><br />
<!--15. Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. ''BUT,'' there's a <big>big benefit</big>: If you rotate your phone (90&deg;) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site <u>[https://othernetworks.org Other Networks]</u>.--><br />
<!--16. Wikidelphia has a disproportionately difficult time staying up-to-date. It's not for lack of trying! ''One factor:'' We can only pay our Staff Editor for six hours a week. ''Another:'' We don't wait for an organization to become well-established. We welcome newbies! Occasionally, we discover a place and list it before it even opens, e.g., the <u>[[Museum of the American Revolution]]</u>, which we listed a year or more before it opened, and we added "In The News" updates all along. But welcoming newbies comes with a problem: they often fail, and so their Wikidelphia pages go out-of-date. It doesn't stop our eagerness to include the newest.--><br />
<!--17. On our X account <u>[https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @Wikidelphia1]</u>, I (staff editor Paul) re-post various events in Philly. Most aren't political, but some are. The political ones ''do not'' imply endorsement. What we ''do'' endorse is your going out and enjoying something in person. When looking at an event post, I ask:<br />
#Is the event in-person? <br />
#Is it within the city limits?<br />
#Is it at least 24 hours in the future?<br />
<br>&emsp;If the answers are all "Yes", then it qualifies, and I leave it up to ''you'' to decide whether you like it and want to go there.--><br />
<!--18. Descriptions of Wikidelphia subjects (organizations, companies, individuals, recurring events) are generally copied from the subject's own website, and thus they ''do not'' represent the views of Wikidelphia or its staff. In making Wikidelphia descriptions, I (staff editor Paul) avoid mission statements, because they often don't tell you what the subject actually ''does''. I avoid values statements for the same reason. Occasionally, a website doesn't have enough information for a description, so I go ask Grok AI a detailed query aimed at finding information from the widest possible variety of sources and summarizing it all in a useful paragraph or two.--><br />
<!--19. On this page, the two blue-framed photos were selected randomly. The captions link you to Wikidelphia pages. Photos are copied from the Wikidelphia subject's (organization's, company's, etc.) own website, and as far as we could tell by looking closely, the pics are copyright-free enough for Wikidelphia to use for informing our visitors about the subject.--><br />
