Talk:List of justices of the Oklahoma Supreme Court

Oklahoma Justices before statehood
One man on the list, Samuel Benton Callahan, was a justice on the supreme court of the Creek Nation (before Oklahoma became a state). He should not be included here. There is another, Clinton F. Irwin, who was a justice on the Oklahoma Territory Supreme Court, which ceased to exist at the time of statehood. It likes only justices who served since statehood should be on these lists. Therefore, I am removing these two names .Bruin2 (talk) 05:57, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

After looking at references for Joseph A. Gill, there is no indication he served on the Supreme Court, either before or after statehood. He was appointed Federal Justice for the Northern District of Indian Territory in 1899, and continued serving until statehood, when the position was abolished. I have removed Gill from this list.

 * We need to list territorial justices somewhere. It might as well be here. bd2412  T 01:57, 15 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I've readded Joseph A. Gill to the Territorial Judges list, per your comment above. Bruin2 (talk) 20:22, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Editing need
For consistency, the section "List of Former Justices" should be arranged in order of year the individual was appointed. Bruin2 (talk) 22:28, 17 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Initial sorting done. Bruin2 (talk) 04:00, 18 May 2019 (UTC)


 * The link to Territorial Justice John G Clark leads to a different person having the same name. I have removed the link from this list. We need a different article for the Oklahoma judge Clark with a different title. I intend to start this ASAP. Bruin2 (talk) 19:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
