'''Philadelphia.Wiki''' is a reference encyclopedia about Philadelphia: its neighborhoods, history, food, transit, institutions, architecture and culture.

== Scope ==

The wiki covers the city of Philadelphia and, where a subject is directly relevant to the city, the surrounding Delaware Valley. Articles fall into two broad kinds:

* '''Subject articles''' cover a place, person, institution, event or topic. Examples: [[Reading Terminal Market]], [[Fitler Square]], [[30th Street Station]].
* '''Question articles''' answer a single practical or historical question in the first sentence, then give the background behind it.

== Editorial standards ==

* Every factual claim about a living person, a business, or a dated event should be traceable to a published source, cited inline.
* Articles name their subject in the first sentence. A page that describes something without naming it is not an article.
* Titles are the name of the subject, or a plainly worded question. Titles are not descriptions.
* Neutral tone. The wiki describes what a thing is and why it matters, and leaves the adjectives out.

== Structure ==

Articles are organised through categories, which nest from eight top-level subject areas down through sections of the city to individual neighborhoods. See [[Special:Categories|all categories]] or the [[Main Page]].

== Corrections ==

Corrections and additions are welcome. If you find an error, please note it on the article's talk page.
