When you want something, the whole universe conspires to help you. --Paulo Coelho

Editors Wanted!

Register to use Wikidelphia for free by writing to Stan Pokras <stan@communitymagic.org> for a username and password. (We're trying to screen out spammers and vandals.)  If you've never made or edited a Wiki page before, that's fine. Selecting our "Help" link will get you started learning how, and if you spend a half-hour or so studying closely, you'll be able to start making good-looking pages, no problem. Wikidelphia needs many, many more things Philadelphian, so if you're from, in, or around Philly, Wikidelphia needs your knowledge!
