J. Gordon Edwards filmography

 * Nominator(s): Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:40, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

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.

Support − Looks much nicer now. Sources look good, too. Jimknut (talk) 22:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments Otherwise a good piece of work. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:50, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * "scenerist" I've never heard of this phrase but our own article suggests it should be "scenarist"...
 * I would consider linking the word oeuvre, since you have opted to link (in my opinion) far more common words like Montreal.
 * "for William Fox" I would like a touch of context, maybe "American motion picture executive"?
 * The widths of the cols in the first table are slightly different from the second and third tables, any reason why?
 * Shouldn't "1915–1924" be "1915–24"?
 * Sortable table, mostly that means every item that's linked should be linked each time, e.g. Leo Tolstoy, Mary Murillo etc, since there's no guarantee which item will appear first.
 * Victor Hugo apparently hyphenated his work The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

Comments - Looks like a strong article overall, only one or two minor concerns: Most of these are just questions of curiosity. --Lightlowemon (talk) 03:07, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Many sources, including the American Film Institute, credit this film as Edwards's directorial debut. except the American Film Institute states Bracken as the director...?
 * The Celebrated Scandal and Redemption (perhaps another name for Her Greatest Love ) are two other film titles I saw claimed to be directed by this fellow.
 * Why are original stories that don't match the name of the titled movie put in quotes and not italics? Such as seen in Her Double Life?
 * Under A Daughter of the Gods, you have Reissued 2 December 1917 (as Daughter of the Gods), August 1918, 15 February 1920. Is there a date for August and shouldn't it be ...August 1918 and 15 February 1920.?

Just querying a couple of suspect spellings: No other points. –  Tim riley  talk    14:55, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Bindness of Devotion (Blindness?)
 * The New Magdelen (Magdalen?)
