Chief Justice bios that need work

[edit]

15 of the Chief Justice bios need substantial editing and improvement, as follows:

Bjhillis (talk) 19:21, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I upgraded most of these with infobox and succession boxes, added cites and narrative. But still a lot of work to do, e.g, David S. Terry still has the cn flags. Eight more associate justice bios left to do. And most of the existing associate justice bios are still skeletons that need work.Bjhillis (talk) 14:15, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Citations in lists of lawyers

[edit]

I noticed someone hung a Citations Needed flag on the page. This list mirrors an official list of past and present justices from the California courts. Plus, each entry on this list of 100 or so judges links to Wiki pages, so presumably adequate citation is provided on those underlying pages. Suggest we remove the flag.

On the issue generally of citation in lists of lawyers, see Talk:List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States#Some_final_observations_on_numbers_of_clerks_and_a_count_of_law_schools, the list of U.S. Supreme Court clerks has 2,250 entries and 489 Wiki pages, or roughly 20%. The other 80% of the entries do not have citations.Bjhillis (talk) 13:39, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sortable table of Wiki page stats

[edit]

The table below presents the status of the California Supreme Court justices' Wiki pages. It is sortable by file size, number of footnotes, Wiki rating, and number of visits. The purpose of the table is to show the pages that are of greatest interest, and those that need additional editing.
