I don't really understand the last sentence. I'll get back to this at some point - i.e. I'll compare it with the document - but any clarifications from others are welcomed. Metamagician3000 10:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another one! Gimmie a few hours :) 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 23:39, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the fun read! I have placed this article on hold for now and left some comments below. As you know, please ping me once you are done. 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 00:42, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LunaEatsTuna: All notes should now be addressed. I've also decided to remove the link to congress.gov entirely, as it's just a less accessible version of the other two. Unless there's a good reason not to, I'll probably do so for any other Federalist Papers articles that I work on. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:03, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good call! Thanks for the fast response—I am now happy to pass this article for GA status per the changes implemented. Congrats, and good luck on the other Federalist Papers! If you nominate any others for GA do not be afraid to HMU. 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 01:51, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

In the infobox, it says that the Publisher is the New York Packet, but in § Background and publication it states it was published on the same day by both the New York Packet and New-York Journal.
"his opinion that the federal government would" – wikilink to federal government of the United States and unlink its mention in § Analysis.
In § Summary, Hamilton is used only once whilst "he" is used in all other instances referring to him. I would recommend alternating between Hamilton and "he" to avoid repetition.
"followed by the Independent Journal and the Daily Advertiser on December 26." – recommend "followed by the Independent Journal and the Daily Advertiser the following day."
I would move the sentence starting "Hamilton argued that a federal government can win this favor without" to the above paragraph so that the second paragraph starts with "He made the case that" – the former sentence seems more relevant to the above paragraph IMO.
"would be revisited in No. 46 and No. 68." – I would mention that No. 46 was not written by Hamilton.
"citizens are represented in Congress" – wikilink United States Congress.

Refs

All sources are RS. Passes spotcheck on refs 3, 4, 6, 9 and 11.

Refs 3 and 4 have the publication name linked whilst none of the other citations do. Either format is fine but these should be consistent.

Other

Short desc, nav, cats and other templates good.

In External links, recommend changing "Text of The Federalist No. 26: congress.gov" to "Text of The Federalist No. 26 at congress.gov". Also:
Given that we have the above mentioned link and the Wikisource URL, the second external link "The Federalist No. 26 Text" should have a more specific name.
