I am perplexed about the fact that the content does not address what the title promises to deliver. The title promises to talk about the dangers from the foreign force and influence. Only one sentence mentions security that only a union government could provide to protect it as well as the "confederacies". The paper only argues for having a federal government which needs the constitution as a basic framework to operate. 173.76.235.84 ( talk) 23:13, 21 February 2015 (UTC)Hartmut, 21 February 2015 reply

• 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
