==TIP (#10 OF 19)==








&emsp;Wikidelphia is gradually removing pages that aren't local to—or closely linked to—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!

PaulSank: one item deleted

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:

#When you add a new page to Is-Page_Needing_Work, add an item (date and title) to the top of this list.
#When you finish a page that's listed here, and so it doesn't need work anymore, come back here and delete its item.
#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.

&emsp;Our X account ([https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events—both fun and serious—all over Philly.
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")

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:

#When you add a new page to Is-Page_Needing_Work, add an item (date and title) to the top of this list.
#When you finish a page that's listed here, and so it doesn't need work anymore, come back here and delete its item.
#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.

==TIP (#9 OF 19)==







&emsp;Our X account ([https://www.x.com/wikidelphia1 @wikidelphia1]), which we hope you'll follow, has a few main objectives:
*Give everybody updates on what's happening at Wikidelphia. (Obviously.)
*Re-post announcements of upcoming in-person events—both fun and serious—all over Philly.
*Share announcements of job fairs and other hiring events.
*Share announcements of events where you can get free food or other necessities.
*Add connections to Philly's network of helpful do-gooders. (We like to say, "Helpfulness brings people into focus.")

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:

#When you add a new page to Is-Page_Needing_Work, add an item (date and title) to the top of this list.
#When you finish a page that's listed here, and so it doesn't need work anymore, come back here and delete its item.
#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.

&emsp;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.

{{toplink|url=http://www.ansp.org/|name=ansp.org}}[[File:ANSP.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Exterior view of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University.]]The '''Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University''' is '''the oldest natural history museum in the Americas and one of the country's leading scientific institutions''', with over 200 years of experience in curation, cutting-edge research and education.

The Academy has more than 19 million specimens, all carefully documented and well-preserved for future generations. They serve as the foundation for an active research program that continues to focus on the critical environmental issues of our time, ranging from evolution and biodiversity to human health and climate change.

The Academy is also internationally recognized for its pioneering work in water. These studies have contributed significantly to the quality of human life by helping to shape public policy concerning the environment. Among the best known of these is The Clean Water Act of 1972 and 1977, which was developed with critical input from Academy scientists.

By forging relationships with many other organizations in Philadelphia and throughout the region, the Academy is fostering a new appreciation of how critical it is to understand and protect the environment to enhance our own health and wellbeing now and for generations to come.
