  • Will do. AryKun (talk) 15:22, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Loyalist and Constitutional Convention are duplinked in the body.
  • "economics, however, arguing" However is redundant.
  • "states have since worked" and "that have formed" shouldn't this be "states had since worked" and "that had formed"?
  • "Federalist Papers that the people" would be better as "Federalist Papers: that the people"
  • "government after being created in the midst of a war, but that the" doesn't really make sense, change it to "government as they had been created in the midst of a war, and that the"
  • Founding Fathers is linked at second mention
  • "and No. 5 that continued" would be better as "and No. 5, which all continued"
  • The summary is accurate as far as I can see after reading the original text.
  • Images are properly licensed and used. However, the body seems a bit text-heavy; maybe you could incorporate an image in there somewhere?
  • References are all to reliable sources and formatted correctly.
  • Spotchecks:
    • Ferguson, Robert A. (1999). "The Forgotten Publius: John Jay and the Aesthetics of Ratification". Early American Literature. Verifies all claims made.
    • Stockton, Constant Noble (1971). "Are There Natural Rights in "The Federalist"?". Ethics. Verifies all claims made.
    • "Federalist Papers: Primary Documents in American History". Library of Congress. and "Federalist Essays in Historic Newspapers". Library of Congress. verify all claims made.
  • That's all I have. AryKun (talk) 10:43, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • AryKun I've made all of the fixes listed above. I agree that more images would be good, and I'll probably try to incorporate them in other Federalist Papers articles. For this one I went with an image of the Constitutional Convention. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
