Talk:List of Federalist Papers

Articles written jointly by Madison and Hamilton; Authorship of article #58
The articles #18,19,20 seem to be written not by Madison alone, but by "James Madison, with Alexander Hamilton" (see http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa18.htm ). I think this should be mentioned. Phelixxx 12:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Was the authorship of article #58 ever disputed? the gutenberg page http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/18 assigns it not to "HAMILTON OR MADISON" as the other once disputed articles, but just to "MADISON". I guess this is just a mistake of the gutenberg people or does someone have other information? Phelixxx 12:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * In response to your queries, I have updated one footnote with a more complete source and added another. Adair's essay is a pretty complete and now popular study of the subject; to the extent that the article tries to represent the modern consensus, Adair's work should be fairly representative.

Discussion bout deletion
For a December 2004 deletion debate ovre this page see Votes for deletion/List of Federalist Papers

from VfD:

This seems like just a TOC of the Federalist Papers. All of this information is already at http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa00.htm, which is linked to from our article Federalist Papers. Since this is basically a (partial) source document, why put it inside the Wikipedia? -- Jmabel 06:06, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC) end moved VfD discussion
 * Hmm... The page was just created and may be a precursor to an article on each Paper. Let's wait and see if it becomes more than a link to source material.  Tentative keep.  SWAdair | Talk  08:34, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

This article survived VfD because the only vote cast was to keep, wait and see. Since that was my vote, I've placed this on my watch list and will regularly check on it. SWAdair | Talk 04:15, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

This is a useful page, but it would be nice if it had a larger description of each paper: author, time of publication, main issues.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 20:28, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Coloring
Might it be good to have a sentence explaining that the coloring corresponds to the authors? JoshuaZ 20:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
