Your addition to Philip Ludwell III has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The main part of this article appears to have been copied from http://orthodoxhistory.org/2009/11/23/orthodoxy-in-colonial-virginia/. You should use their information, but rewrite it in your own words. (And it would be a much better article if you added more of his background as well as his religious aspects - the Washington connections etc - to tell us more about the man.)

I've added a bit of background from that article. PamD 09:04, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
...well, done quite a bit now, and upgraded your "Bare URL" ref to something better. It would be better if there was a source or two from independent published works. PamD 09:41, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. SFK2 (talk) 22:38, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
