Article Quality Evaluation:

After Review of the Wikipedia article on E Pendleton Herring, I have come to the conclusion that the article is lacking in information about the scholar and all that he accomplished. The article is classified as a Stub article, which means it provides only the very basics in information about the topic. The article skims over milestones and jobs that Pendleton Herring had without adding any information as to why those achievements and jobs where important. The article lacks information about the six scholarly books that Herring wrote which had a large impact on the fields of political science and public administration. In addition the article also lacks any citations for references used to compose the article. Herrings work history is listed in the article without any significance to what he accomplished during each tenure. The information in the article is also presented out of chronological order making the article look messy and unorganized. After review of the history of the article in can be seen that the article has not received any new information in some time and needs to be reconstructed into an article that includes more detailed information on Herrings accomplishments at each of the organizations he worked at as well as detailed history of his life before and after his public service work.RGFORD (talk) 12:24, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

This was one of Pendleton's own works and it give a view at some of his ideological views regarding the government Bureaucracy. In this book Herring debates the need for federal reform. He starts off by listing presidents who pushed for federal reorganization and their first futile attempts at reform. After the billion dollar deficit of 1931 legislators were more inclined to listen to reform ideas. although little progress was made in reform Herring argued that great progress had been made in the studying of administration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RGFORD (talk • contribs) 13:13, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
