The "Oklahoma House of Representatives" section needs to be updated

I haven't checked all on the list, but in district 95, Kelley Albright lost the 2020 general election to Max Wolfley. https://results.okelections.us/OKER/?elecDate=20201103

Frank Lucas

Just flagging that the link to Frank Lucas for the OK-3 Congressional seat goes to a different Frank Lucas (the Harlem 'drug lord'), not the OK Republican Congressman. 173.72.195.170 (talk) 20:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for flagging!

I'm not sure when this was fixed, but all links for Frank Lucas go to the correct page as of Jan 2025. Loganbutler3 (talk) 18:33, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

More Name Trivia

I'm not sure if there are sources out there to back up this trivia, but I know i don't know how to find them (or if its required at all, sorry I'm a wikinoob). I think this would be useful to add to the page if possible/applicable. But anyways, here is some trivia on Oklahoma County and its name I found through original research:

-

Oklahoma county is the only county in the nation that:

BOTH (shares its name with its state) & (is the most populous county in the state)

BOTH (shares its name with its state) & (contains - and shares a name with - the majority of the state's largest city) *(New York county is in New York City in New York State and it is the financial and cultural center, but it contains a small % of population and is only one of five counties that make up the city. OKC goes beyond the county boundaries, but it's a small % of the population. Reladedly, a resident of OKC resides in the City of Oklahoma, the County of Oklahoma, and the State of Oklahoma.)

BOTH (shares its name with its state) & (contains - and shares a name with - the majority of the state's capital) *(This is already in the article)

BOTH (shares its name with its state) & (is the most geographically central county in the state. *(I'm not even 100% if this ones true, especially with any objective metric, but i think most people would agree that OK county is in the center of the state by looking at it, and that's not true for any of the self named counties elsewhere.))

And since all the above is true, it means this sentence could be put in the article if it could be properly sourced (and it doesn't break any other rules):

"Oklahoma County is the only county in the nation that contains the (majority of)[a] its state's largest city and capital while being named after the state and located at its geographic center. "

"[a], while Oklahoma City extends into Canadian, Cleveland, and Pottowamie counties, the majority of the population is in Oklahoma County."

I hope this is helpful to anyone that sees it, and it follows the rules and best practices of wikipedia and its talk pages. As I said above, I'm still new here and learning the ropes, and if anyone feels like sharing feedback, it would be extremely helpful to me. Thanks :) Loganbutler3 (talk) 18:29, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
