Wikidelphia editors can use this page to share notes about work that can be undertaken.

The term "Grassroots" can be searched and Category:Does-Grassroots Activism added where appropriate.
- I'm not sure what this term means, as opposed to "Does-Activism". Don't all activists aim at the so-called "grassroots"? What other activism is there? Lobbying? You can call that "Does-Lobbying". The word "grassroots" always sounds self-congratulatory to me--"We work the grassroots. Those other people are rich guys and elitists. We're the real people people." OK, so there's my two cents. ~Paul
The category "Issue-Violence" needs to be adjusted to reflect the fact that groups usually promote "Anti-Violence."
- I think "Issue-Violence" is fine as it is. The "Anti-" is understood. Ever see an activist group that promotes violence? No. Maybe there are some who are "Using-Violence". ~Paul

 *The term "Grassroots" can be searched and [[:Category:Does-Grassroots Activism|<u>Category:Does-Grassroots Activism</u>]] added where appropriate.
-**Whoever created this category should have done this as soon as they created it. As for me, I'm not sure what this term means, as opposed to "Does-Activism". Don't all activists aim at the so-called "grassroots"? What other activism is there? Lobbying? You can call that "Does-Lobbying".

-*'''Already In Progress:''' Put neighborhood "Where" categories under the major areas they're a part of. Link all major areas to "Where-Philadelphia". E.g., make "Where-Mount_Airy" appear on both the "Where" and the "Where-Northwest_Philadelphia" lists; make "Where-Northwest_Philadelphia" appear with other major areas on "Where-Philadelphia". This is already happening, a little at a time.
