[edit] Citations and NPOV

This article is badly in need of references backing up many of its assertions. And, even with such references, I'm afraid that it raises serious POV questions.

The assertion that Storing "was considered the foremost authority" on the Anti-Federalists needs sourcing (and would be improved by taking it out of the passive voice....who considered him the foremost authority on the Anti-Federalists?).

The claim that "[i]n comprehensiveness and scholarly thoroughness his works are highly unlikely ever to be superseded" is not only unsourced, but also seems highly speculative and far from displaying a NPOV. If, in fact, someone of note said this about Storing's work, both the sourcing and the NPOV issue could be resolved by quoting that source. Otherwise, I don't think that this claim belongs on Wikipedia.--BenA (talk) 10:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
