J. Gordon Edwards filmography ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I am nominating this for featured list because... it is a comprehensive filmography of J. Gordon Edwards, a once-lauded but now nearly entirely forgotten director of the American silent film era. Although he's been compared to Alfred Hitchcock and D.W. Griffith, the bulk of his work (like most silent films) simply no longer exists. But that doesn't stand in the way of preserving information about his oeuvre, and presenting it to our readers. I'm no stranger to Featured Content, but this is my first trip to FLC; hopefully everything is in order. Disclosure: This is a WikiCup nomination.

;Comments from Jimknut* "His oeuvre consists of over fifty feature films made between 1914 and 1924. He is perhaps best known for directing over twenty films starring
Theda Bara—including
Cleopatra, her most famous role—and for directing the 1921 epic
The Queen of Sheba." – I'm okay with the "over fifty films" part since the exact number of his films is not known. However, if the exact number of films he made with Bara is known I suggest changing the sentence from "directing over twenty films starring
Theda Bara" to "directing 26 films starring Theda Bara" (or whatever the exact number is). Is Cleopatra really her most famous film? Does one of your sources say so? The word "directing" is used twice in one sentence. I suggest having the second time changed from "and for directing the 1921 epic" to "and also the 1921 epic".

Support − Looks much nicer now. Sources look good, too.
