1788 Ratification of US Constitution or 1789?
The Residence Act article states "The United States Congress was established in 1789, upon ratification of the United States Constitution, and New York City remained the temporary capital.". That was all until pursuant to the Residence Act of 1790 when Philadelphia was declared the temporary official capital for a period of 10 years until 1800.

See https://www.usconstitution.net/consttime2.html and notice that: 1788/06/21 Sat - Constitution Ratified 1788/06/25 Wed - Virginia ratifies 1788/07/02 Wed - Congress is informed the Constitution has been ratified 1788/07/26 Sat - New York ratifies

Why does this website have a timeline of 1788 for the ratification and the article have a 1789 timeline? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.232.248.216 (talk) 00:37, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The Constitution was ratified by the required number of states by 1788, but the new government under the Constitution did not begin operations until March-April 1789 when Congress first met. I changed the word "upon" to "after" to make it clearer. Station1 (talk) 06:14, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Station1. Keep up the great work. Original Question Answered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.232.248.216 (talk) 23:55, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Fatal subject flaws in MediaWiki formatting.
A very obvious yet relatively unknown issue is with the subject flaws in the MediaWiki formatting. This issue effects almost every article on all MediaWiki based websites in general. The issue itself are minute yet critically detrimental subject flaws in the formatting of articles. This has caused 2 incidents such as the: North Macedonia "Vandalization" incident (2022.01.15), and also the [REDACTED] inside of the article discussing the Residence Act, which is also why I am adding this discussion here, even though, at first, ot seems inappropriate to write a complaint on the MediaWiki formatting system on the article discussing the Residence Act.
