The Blue Rider, this has been open for a month and a half now. Where are we at on finishing the review? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 02:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Summary

• Add a note explaining that Publius is a pseudonym used by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay.
  • It already says that Publius is the pseudonym used to write the Federalist Papers. A general description of Publius belongs on the main Federalist Papers article.
• How many states existed at the time of writing? Maybe clarify that if relevant.
  • Not sure if it's relevant, the point is that there are several that could come into conflict with one another.
• A standing army for each state? If so clarify that, or put in the plural as you do in the next phrase.
  • Clarified in each case whether it's a national army or state armies.
• Comma after "invaded" and before "which". Likewise, when describing the army of a nation infrequently invaded.
  • Added.

Background and publication

• Here you link standing army but the first instance is in the "Summary" section.
  • Fixed.
