Edits
I made some edits using my own language, based on material from the official site. I believe this is notable due to the fact some of the parishioners were part of the American Revolution. TiMike (talk) 22:25, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi! I'm sorry to have trashed the article you wrote, but copying other people's stuff is against our policies, as you know. What you write must be in your own words, and different from the source. So if the source reads "it remains the only Presbyterian structure in Philadelphia dating back to colonial and revolutionary times", you can't write "It is the last Presbyterian structure in Philadelphia dating back to colonial and revolutionary era" because "Presbyterian structure in Philadelphia dating back to colonial and revolutionary" is exactly, word-for-word, what they wrote. I've rephrased that sentence to the best of my ability.
 * As for notability, that will be established by adding a number of independent reliable sources about the church. Without those, I imagine that sooner or later someone (not me) will nominate this for deletion. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:25, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
