Talk:J. Gordon Edwards (entomologist)

Professor?

Is there any evidence that Gordon was an actual professor, and not simply a lecturer, at SJSU? Yilloslime (t) 05:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

These titles are certainly attached to lots of his publications, and he has a museum there named after him, so I'd guess this is right.JQ (talk) 11:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Secondary sources

This article currently leans too heavily on publications by Edwards himself risking violating WP:NPOV. Edwards was certainly controversial, and I've added some third-party sources to flesh out his biography. The sources below can be used for additional development. --Animalparty!
