The Articles of Confederation were not adopted in Philadelphia.

[edit ]

This article is incorrect when it claims that the Articles of Confederation were adopted in Philadelphia. At the time of their adoption, Philadelphia was occupied by the British. Because of this, the Articles of Confederation were adopted in the Continental Congress's temporary capital of York, Pennsylvania. Please edit to correct this.

I believe it should be added to the cuisine section that Philadelphia is also home to multiple James Beard Most Outstanding Restaurant Awards in Zahav Italic texthttps://www.cnn.com/2019/05/07/us/james-beard-winners-2019-trnd/index.html & Friday Saturday Sunday Italic texthttps://www.inquirer.com/food/restaurants/philadelphia-restaurants-james-beard-awards-kalaya-fork-friday-saturday-sunday-20230605.html. The city is more than hoagies and cheesesteaks and that should be noted. Chrismaurer12345 (talk) 18:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Merging city offices

[edit ]

At WP:Articles for deletion/Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management, a participant proposed merging Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management to Philadelphia#Public safety. Another participant and I opposed the merge, citing WP:WEIGHT (shortcut to WP:Neutral point of view#Due and undue weight, policy). As far as I can tell, Philadelphia Police Department and Philadelphia Fire Department – linked in {{Main }} templates – are much larger than the OEM. The Government link in {{Philadelphia }} links to Philadelphia#Law and government, and I don't see a more appropriate article.

Philadelphia Managing Director's Office was deleted by WP:Proposed deletion. "The managing director is the City’s chief operating officer (COO) and a principal member of the mayor’s cabinet."[1] Mayor of Philadelphia focuses on history, and Philadelphia City Hall is about the building.

Article Deleted by Potential merge targets Website
Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management WP:G12 speedy deletion Philadelphia#Public safety https://www.phila.gov/departments/oem/
Philadelphia Managing Director's Office WP:Proposed deletion Mayor of Philadelphia, Philadelphia City Hall https://www.phila.gov/departments/managing-directors-office/

Is there any interest in covering these city offices here or in another article? Flatscan (talk) 04:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
