• Any way the Wikisource link could be moved further up the page or maybe into the infobox? I don't think many people scroll that far down and it would be very useful to have the link to the source text more easily visible.
• "Hamilton expresses" Why say Hamilton instead of Publius here?
• "union to your political prosperity" and "to your own state": Shouldn't be "your", since it isn't about our readers but Publius'
• "of the present confederation" Again, said confederation is no longer present
• An alternative to the above two points would be making clear that you are explicitly quoting Publius here
• "and the anti-federalists" capitalise Anti-Federalist.
• The summary seems to accurately and appropriately cover the main points of the text.
• Spot-checks: All verify claims made. The article sometime strays a bit in language from Levinson in particular, but I don't think it introduces any new claims not in that text, so I feel it's fine.
  • "Federalist Papers: Primary Documents in American History". Library of Congress.
  • Levinson, Sanford (November 24, 2015). An Argument Open to All: Reading "The Federalist" in the 21st Century. Yale University Press
  • Light, Paul C. (2011). "Federalist No. 1: How Would Publius Define Good Government Today?". Public Administration Review. 71: s7–s14.
• That's it really, nice work. AryKun (talk) 15:18, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

AryKun, I've made all suggested changes. I wonder if there's an efficient/automated way to move the Wikisource link to the infobox for the other 84 articles in the series. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure; can you do something like that with AWB? I'm not great with the semi-automated tools, so I don't really have any idea. AryKun (talk) 18:21, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
