Infobox

edit
  • Looks good

Lead

edit
  • MOS:POSS isn't definitive but consider changing "Adams's" to "Adams'"
    • I'm never entirely sure which way is correct. Have made the change

Background

edit
  • Adams having a "cold and distant personality" sounds a bit subjective. Is there someone who described him as that?
    • It's a mixture of Ratcliffe's summary and Adams's self-description, for neutrality reasons I've just quoted and attributed Ratcliffe here.

The election

edit
  • Lowercase "Federalism" in the 5th paragraph
    • Corrected

Aftermath

edit
  • Pipe "Frederick Bates (politician)" to "[[Frederick Bates (politician)|Frederick Bates]]"
    • Oops, fixed

Results

edit
  • Would it be possible to slightly increase the width of the "Party" column of the table so that the bolded instance of Democratic-Republican doesn't wrap to a second line.
    • I'm not sure. The table is fine on my desktop screen, but wraps over on mobile. From past experience, there often isn't a way to get this to work on all layouts all of the time. Hog Farm Talk 02:29, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Hog Farm: I've done my review of the article and left some comments. PizzaKing13 ¡Hablame! 02:16, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

@PizzaKing13: - thanks for the review! I can ask at WP:VPT about the table width issue if you'd like. As a heads-up, I'm going to be quite busy with work next week so any further comments I might be slow in addressing. Hog Farm Talk 02:29, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Hog Farm: The rest of the article looks good and the table alone isn't a make or break for GA status so I'll pass the review. Good job on expanding this article! PizzaKing13 ¡Hablame! 02:35, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • ... that although Clay won the 1824 US presidential election in Missouri, due to none of the candidates winning a majority, the vote moved to the HoR where he was eliminated from contention?

Yes, that's better. I didn't think the original hook was very good, but hadn't thought of a better one yet. Hog Farm Talk 01:05, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
