Ambiguity regarding the leader
edit"The Anti-Administration Party (1789–1792) was the informal faction led by Thomas Jefferson[...]"
"Virginia Congressman James Madison was the leader of the Anti-Administration Party"
Both of these contradictory statements are prominent within the article, clarification is definitely needed. --Genya Avocado (talk) 01:33, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- they were co-leaders, but at one time one was more prominent than the other. Rjensen (talk) 11:57, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
Scholars do use the term
editSomeone wants to drop the article. however standard recent scholarly sources do indeed use the term 1) "These factions had been known as the Anti-Administration Party" says Kenneth F.

(1913). Quarterly Journal - University of North Dakota. p. 302. Rjensen (talk) 12:06, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
Tea Green?
editIs there a cite for tea green being the color of the party? I've seen other pages have incorrect colors (for example, "salmon" for the federalists). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjengles3 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
