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)

Tea Green? edit
Is 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)
