Stubs and topics
I note that there are relatively few stub categories within the general Hawai?i stub space. I'm thinking of creating a history related stub, as I think that might help to identify where some of the history buffs could help contribute. There's already categories for geography, politicians, and radio stations. Perhaps we could add a few more categories of stubs, just to help organize them a bit. (Better yet, let's all expand them...but one thing at a time, yes?) I'll create the history stub, once I recall how that works. I'm going to first use it as a section stub on the Kaua?i page, since it's history section is really just one paragraph. Feedback, as always, welcome. (By the way, would this be better placed here, or on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hawaii/General page?) Davidlwilliamson (talk) 08:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Kanaka and Owyhee
Hi; not part of this WikiProject but I've worked on these two articles; I'm wondering if they should be part of your WP; Kanaka certainly I'd think, but in Owyhee's case it's to do with the legacy of Hawaiian workers/settlers in North America; it's currently a disambig but I think it shouldn't be, although it's still mostly only a list page, just one needing some discussion as to how the name came about. The particular Hawaiian the HBC mappers/explorers named the river for can probably be determined, by the way, from company logs; or the specific incident as to how it gots its name anyway.Skookum1 (talk) 18:53, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Help updating Portal:Hawaii
Actually, as long as we're on the subject of revitalization, I've taken over the maintenance tasks on P:HI. Most of this work involved creating templates to ensure consistent formatting throughout the portal, particularly on the pictures and "on this date" features.
I was hoping to have another couple of standardized items in place before asking for help, but now seems as good a time as any to expand the content. So, to that end, I'd be greatly appreciative if people could help flesh out the following areas:
- Selected anniversaries (current month)
- Selected biographies
- ??lelo
- Quotes
The formatting has been set for the selected anniversaries, and the biography/??lelo/quotes content should be fairly self-explanatory. I think we're more or less all right on pictures and articles, although it never hurts to add any good content that you may know of.

Collaboration with the Hawaiian Wikipedia?

Small help needed maybe - words 'chiefess' and 'chiefly'
Was fixing spelling errors and came across article Kahikikala. It like several (~45) Hawaiian-topic articles use the word 'chiefess', and sometimes 'chiefly', in ways I now believe are unique or most closely associated with Hawaiian history. Among other places I looked up the word at Wiktionary but was dissatisfied with what I found there. I left comments to that affect on the wikt page's talk page, mentioning a nice reference for the unique usages. There is no article here at en:WP for the word, and I don't suppose there should be (entry should be expanded at wikt). Is there some page here which talks about Hawaiian terms, including 'chiefess' and 'chiefly'? Shenme (talk) 03:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Akahi Nui
I'm way outside of my areas of expertise here and seeking help. Seems to me like the article Akahi Nui is hostile to its subject (which reminds me of an old joke: "But the King is not a 'subject'!"). I made a few edits to tone that down, but I don't know enough about the topic to do much more. For an example of an article bringing a much more neutral tone to a similar topic, see Quentin Kaw?nanakoa.
I left a note several days ago at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard? but it doesn't seem to have produced any response.
Any help would be appreciated. - Jmabel | Talk 18:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Reexamination of old disputes
At the urging of Viriditas, I've followed-up on a question posed in the first issue of the WPHawai?i newsletter and reexamined some old disputes related to eight significant articles. I've put my comments below in the hopes of getting some wider feedback.
- Talk:Apology Resolution#Dispute - Resolved with this edit; accepted as a resolution here.
- Talk:Evan Dobelle#Dispute - Resolved with a semi-protect that was lifted here. User:FisherQueen's advice to properly source the claims was taken to heart, and it seems to be standing today.
- Talk:Hawaii#Dispute - Don't see any indication that the dispute over okina and other diacritics is still ongoing, but I don't think this will ever be fully solved until MOS:HAWAII reaches a solid consensus.
- Talk:Kingdom of Hawaii/Archive 1#Dispute - Although the dispute is no longer ongoing in User:JereKrischel's absence, I don't think the NPOV issues are smoothed out enough in the section on the overthrow to warrant removing the tag. Specifically, a number of claims in the section are written for the other party in the dispute rather than for a general audience--claims are led with "Russ says" or "Kizner wrote" which, while not bad in and of itself, serves to place more of an emphasis on presenting specific, verifiable points of view about rather than creating a neutrally-toned encyclopedic overview. I'd leave this one on for the time being.
- Talk:Legal status of Hawaii#Dispute - Doesn't seem to be ongoing; the article has remained in place since the initial dispute.
- Talk:Liliuokalani/Archive 1#Dispute - Although the initial dispute seems to have more or less died down, it seems that some of the issues related to the overthrow are still percolating in this article. While it could probably do without the dispute tag, it might be a good idea to get some more eyeballs on it.
- Talk:Morgan Report#Dispute - This one also seems more or less settled, and the POV tag has been removed.
- Talk:Overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy#Dispute - Although the original dispute has more or less died down, given the events of recent months I think more work is needed here to obtain a neutral balance.

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Hawaii
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Proposals
Laualoha
Ok, by request here are my thoughts: in order to be more inclusive, I would really like to see "Islands of Hawai'i" or something like that, rather than "U.S. State of Hawai'i", which seems a little limited. Also, while I honor and love Auntie Nona Beamer (I never heard her associated with the word until I read the page -- very interesting!), the word "Hawaiiana" has come to be seen as a little 1)dated, and 2)representative of an incomplete view of Hawai'i, as it is often associated with entities like Bishop Museum, which are generally viewed by Kanaka Maoli scholars as purporting viewpoints without a full understanding of their subject matter.

GA Sweeps invitation
This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Kahoolawe "Target Isle": Proposed changes to the infobox
An editor recently added a fact tag to the "Target Isle" name in the article. I am unclear as to why the tag was added, as this is an accepted, common name for the island, still in use by the media.[2] While it is true that the island is no longer used for this purpose, the naming convention in the infobox is accurate. Viriditas (talk) 09:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Here's a reference from a 1966 book hosted by the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, Airports Division.[3] I'm still open to modifying the infobox or the article. However, the 1998 edition of the Atlas of Hawaii does not recognize the "Target Isle" as a name.[4] For the encyclopedia's sake, I think it is safe to add formerly next to "Target Isle" until we have a better solution in place. My guess it that the nickname hasn't been current since 1993. Viriditas (talk) 00:55, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Islands and counties
I was asked to come here and write something about the islands of Hawaii and the countries of Hawaii. I maintain that the US State of Hawaii is composed of the counties of Hawaii. Each county has a government and has elections. Each county consists of land, in this case, one or more islands or parts of islands. It is NOT the other way around: the state of Hawaii composed of islands, which are composed of counties. These islands do not have government and elections. This information can be found in the government of Hawaii and government of each county articles. We need not look elsewhere to 'prove' this. Hmains (talk) 01:03, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Image sorting needed on Commons
commons:Category:Hawaii needs sorters to go through each image and sort them into the appropriate categories. I'm currently working on just the Maui category, but we need lots of people to help complete the job for the other islands. Remember, many images aren't even found in the Hawaii categories, so if you focus on a specific area (Oahu for example) remember to also search for images outside the named categories. The advantage of sorting these images into the correct categories is that a {{Commonscat}} link can be added to each Wikipedia article, providing readers with a direct link to the topic-related images on Commons.

Category-Members of the Hawaii Territorial Legislature
It would be a good idea to create a category on the Members of the Hawaii Territorial Legislature. The present categories involving the Hawaii State Legislature relate to the legislature since Hawaii was admitted to the union.

Hanai template
I created a new template to list "Hanai" information in bioboxes. I noticed some had a paramter to the royalty infobox that was not used. I think it is important enough to put there.

Topo maps do not work
At low resolutions they seem to find Oahu and Kauai, but the other islands nothing at all shows up for the "topo" views. For example, try 20°48?N 156°20?W with any of the topo choices and it is all blank. Does it work for anyone else? W Nowicki (talk) 23:46, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Annexation
It states the the annexation of Hawaii was a victory but it was not. There are no annexation documents ever found up to present day. The congress had to vote to annex Hawaii but they did not ever receive enough votes to ofically annex Hawaii and today remains as land occupied by the United States and is not owned by the United States, but by the people of Hawaii. It also states that there were no casualties and only one wounded in the overthrowing of the kingdom which is definetly not true. Many natives lives were lost which led to the Queen surrendering in an act for peace and not to continue the violence. [comment above was added by User talk:Chasekale 09:36, 28 April 2010]

Coat of Arms
200px
I am confused as to why the coat of arms is not accurate. The Hawaiian warriors are depicted as cuacasion and the Kingly robes are missing to seemingly match the state seal (in my opinion...but who knows). Clearly the actual coat of arms as designed for the kingdom and placed all over the islands is not being ignored here is it? Can anyone help me out here?--Amadscientist (talk) 01:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Wow....this incorrect coat of Arms appears to be linked directly to so many pages, listing one is not even neccesary. Also It is not needed to take this to an administrator. This is a simple matter to correct but will require a little looking to see where it may be properly used. This may be a simple matter of the incorrect image being used only because of the nice SVG. File. I am able to modify the SVG and have illustrated a coat of arms for another article from a different nation in SVG format. What I will do to start is look and see if the correct symbol is already on Wikimedia. If not I will create it and upload it to commons. Then, on an individual basis members here and in other projects or even individual editors will have the tools to work with. No rush, but it is something that needs to be addressed. Also, since the coat of Arms has been altered a number of times and the Kingdoms have differed in the long history of the nation....it may require a splitting of articles to indicate the seperate Kingdoms attributed to the different reigns and why and how they were seperate.--Amadscientist (talk) 02:34, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for taking this on. Not sure what you mean by "fake" though? It is clearly a modern artist's reproduction, not provided by an official government nor a photo of a real historic coat of arms. The idea of an SVG file is that it scales down nicely (as well as up), so naturally has less detail than a photo would. Now if those 19th-century officials would jhave just used SVG for their emblems then we would be all set. :-) But now that you mention it, the caucasian features (and red beards?) are quite embarassing and do need to be fixed. And the text in the Seal of Hawaii of course needs to be fixed since it is not the 1843-era design that is being described. Looks like it is based on the ?Iolani Palace gates, e.g. File:Hawaiian Coat of Arms at Iolani Palace.jpg.
I would vote for first having one good coat of arms to replace this one (probably based on the Kalakaua version which is best known), which would give a unifying look and feel. Then perhaps in an article discuss how it changed through the various reigns. And while you are at it, we have been talking about how confusing it is to have the same flag for the Kingdom as well as Territory and State used in the nav boxes. A "royal standard" type of image (e.g. a coat of arms, perhaps simplified in a flag-like aspect ratio) would work better to clearly illustrate the transition from Kingdom. And then another one for ancient Hawaii, e.g. just the crossed spears in the middle with green background or somesuch? W Nowicki (talk) 17:07, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I took the liberty of just adjusting the skin and hair colors to look less European. There are other issues too, like the Kapu sticks seem to be flowers, and the staff like a spear, in addition to the issues you point out. I am not an artist so hope someone else can do the hard work.

Longest Name in the World

You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Hawaiian native mortality rate article
Hi! I found:
- Park, Alice. "Paradise Paradox: Why Life in Hawaii Leads to Early Death." TIME. September 22, 2010.
This is actually about mortality rates of Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians... WhisperToMe (talk) 07:24, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Page cleanup
I am going to undertake cleaning up and code-ifying the front project page. Let's all admit it, it was a horrible mess =). I've only completed the front part at this point; more to come. Cheers, ResMar 02:42, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Map on main Hawaii article
Some time ago a fellow editor made a big improvement in changing the map on the Alaska article from an inset to one that shows Alaska's position in North America. Even though I suggested it, he did not change the one for Hawaii. If I had the expertise I would do it, but I don't. Maybe it can't be done? Here's the suggestion: why not change the map of Hawaii--the cream and red one at the upper right-hand side of the article that has Hawaii in the middle of Mexico--to one that shows Hawaii out in the Pacific, with the Pacific rim nations and states showing. --Yopienso (talk) 04:15, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Neal and Lucy Thurston Blaisdell
Updating the page for Neal Blaisdell. Scant information seems to be available online. So far, I find no online obituary on Neal Blaisdell, or anything to verify his accomplishments.
Pre-existing information on Mayor Blaisdell's Wiki page states he had a hall named after him at Punahou School. I am, at this point, unable to verify that. On Punahou's official web site, I do find a page on the Mayor's daughter Marilyn Blaisdell.
I am particularly interested to find if his wife, Lucy Thurston, was a direct descendant of Hawaii missionaries Asa and Lucy Goodale Thurston.
Does anyone have any verifiable information to share on the Blaisdell page?
I added the link to his notable Hawaiian ancestor. Of course web searches turn up the sports venue, so you need to filter those out. People in this era are a bit hard: few current online sources, and not old enough to have off-copyright books. The family web site published a paragraph that I might add: http://www.blaisdell.org/BFNAFamousBlaisdellsNealS.Blaisdell7-27-2007.doc.pdf and see if I can at least tie the families together. W Nowicki (talk) 18:26, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
The problem is that these are not "ancient" people, so what I was trying to say is that the google books out of copyright from before 1923 are too early, and Internet-era sources are too late. I doubt Lucy is alive since according to "Men and women of Hawaii: Volume 9" snippet view on Google books, she was born in 1903 so would be 107 by now. It says her father was a Charles Henry Thurston, so not sure how he would connect to the other ones. I removed the stuff about a hall at Punahou, because it looks like it was being confused with the center where Punahou holds their graduation and some sporting events. Also added a few more sources that might help. Continue discussion on Talk:Neal Blaisdell W Nowicki (talk) 00:00, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Project pages need work
Some ideas:
- It's no longer clear whether or not the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands task force is still active. I don't think that a separate work-group for such a small area is really required, anyway.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Assessment: The yellow box is super ugly =|
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Hawaii-related articles) needs a copyedit, apparently.
There is overlap between Article requests and "General".- General was deleted, so complete. Viriditas (talk) 01:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/New articles - stale, again should also be merged into Article requests.- Recommend striking this entry. New articles subpage is current with results provided by AlexNewArtBot. Viriditas (talk) 09:49, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- I've stricken this entry as it is current (updated by a bot) and has nothing to do with article requests. New page patrol needs editors to review articles listed here on a weekly or daily basis and to assess as needed. I can help, but other editors should check this page daily if they have time.

- Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Almanac - whould this not be better as a separate "Outline of Hawaii" article?

- Possibly, but this page is intended for use as a resource, along with a list of references, image help, etc. Viriditas (talk) 01:52, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Infoboxes - needs integration on the main page.

- Distribution, News Bureau - put them together I think. Newsletter is at this point safely historical.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Sandbox - basically a copy of the old page.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/left panel, wow this looks old.
- Bibliography - needs to get linked from the main page.
- Awards - does not need to be a separate page.
- Yes, it could appear on just the outreach page. Is that what you mean? Viriditas (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Unreferenced BLPs - needs to be linked from the main page.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Departments - never even used.
- Outline - should be a wiki article. See above also.
- Circulation list - no longer needed.
- It's needed if AWB or a bot is going to deliver a newsletter again, so no need to delete. Viriditas (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Right Panel, Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/footer - no longer in use.

If you know Japanese, state your request at ja:Wikipedia:??????.

US Collaboration reactivated & Portal:United States starting next
Casliber recently posted a suggestion on the talk page for WikiProject United States about getting the US Wikipedians Collaboration page going again in an effort to build up articles for GA through FA class. See Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTM. After several days of work from him the page is up and ready for action. A few candidates have already been added for you to vote on or you can submit one using the directions provided. If you are looking for inspiration here is a link to the most commonly viewed articles currently under the scope of Wikiproject United States. There are tons of good articles in the various US related projects as well so feel free to submit any article relating to US topics (not just those under the scope of WPUS). This noticeboard is intended for '''All''' editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS.
The next item I intend to start updating is Portal:United States if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics. The foundation has already been established its just a matter of updating the content with some new images, biographies and articles. Please let leave a comment on the Portals talk page or let me know if you have any questions or ideas. --Kumioko (talk) 19:11, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mahalo (linguistics)
The article Mahalo (linguistics) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jerzyot 07:51, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Pageview stats
After a recent request, I added WikiProject Hawaii to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for.

The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Popular pages.
The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr.Z-man 00:30, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Shaved Ice Error
In the article on "Shaved Ice", The myth about the plantation workers using samurai swords to shave ice is doubtful, seeing as how the Japanese immigrants to Hawai'i Nei in the late 19th century are characterized by historical records as commoners and farmers from the southern island of Kyushu who specialized in wet agriculture, thus their usefulness with sugar cane. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by Extrabadfish (talk o contribs) 08:51, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Any interest in an Oahu Wiknic?
Is there any interest in a 2012 Wiknic on Oahu?
This could take one of three forms: just a picnic, a picnic combined with an edit-a-thon, or a Wikipedia:Meetup.
If we do just a picnic, than an park or beach park could do. If we do a Wiknic / edit-a-thon combo, I suggest that we use one of our Hawai?i State Public Library System (HSPLS) branches that have a meeting room available on a Saturday and either are adjacent to a park or might have grounds that would accommodate a picnic if the branch would allow it. According to the "HSPLS Home Page". Retrieved April 28, 2012. Free wireless Internet access will be available in public libraries statewide beginning on Monday, April 2.

K?lauea
Hello guys, I've made strides on K?lauea, but it's an enormous pain in the tush to find references for. Sort of the reverse of what I'm used to, the pipeline seems to consist of either very detailed scientific reports, or very irrelevant tourist information. I've stuck to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory so far, but they don't cover recreation nor ecology, both of which are going to need to be added to the article. So, to make a long story short, could any of you guys help me out a bit with the sourcing?

The only other Wikipedia posting by this unregistered user changed his birth name from Ponciano Hernandez to Ponciano Ponce. I just found a 2013 article on the Maui News that says his real name was Hernandez. -- Maile (talk) 12:50, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
See WT:WikiProject Oceania, where a suggestion has been made to replace the *-nesia project banners with the new Oceania banner, because they are now in the Oceania hierarchy. As WPHAWAII is under the WPPolynesia hierarchy, you may be interested in considering that idea for WPHI. -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 08:10, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Mary Kawena Pukui & Samuel Hoyt Elbert co-authored many books. Perhaps it would be good to work on a shared bibliography for both & include it as a sub-section in both articles.

Expanding Royal family articles
I am in the middle of some research to expand many of the articles on the Hawaiian Royal Family. A recent discovery in my own family prompted an explosion of research by me on a number of figures. While doing this research it became apparent that some of our articles have a number of errors and are cutting themselves short by disregarding information available in, not only many other sources, but the sources that are being used already. I feel there is not enough balance in a number of articles and also seem to treat some information as absolute fact when the sources themselves do not. A recent discussion of title and styles of royalty has been very helpful and while many of the figures in Hawaiian history seem to be referred to as Prince, Princess etc., it seems that some explanation is in order to clarify the information. Seriously...one "Princess" was only called that as an honor by her supporters and while we can use such a title in the lead and article, it is showing bias and a lack of balance not to mention that they never received the title and style in any known decree.
Anyway, while many of the people referred to with such titles and styles may not have been official, the consensus of the general community is that the title may b included if supported by a reliable source. I just believe that when the RS states that there is or were contradicting information, that should be included. This is not to re-write any history, but make sure such history is not being re-written out of a confusion of the facts.--Mark Miller (talk) 07:19, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Overthrow or revolution
The takeover by the Committee of Safety in 1893 is most commonly referred to as the "Overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii" Not the Revolution of 1893. This is a matter of the most common name which is the title of the article. For this reason I have altered a template. The only place I see this referred to as a "revolution" is by U.S. Special Commisioner James Blount in his interviews of important businessmen after the situation almost leading them to conclude this was a revolution inspired by sugar prices and the wrong doing of others that the Committee of Safety was acting to protect against.

Popular pages tool update
As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man) 05:08, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Hawaii edit-a-thon!
I'm interested in attempting to put together an edit-a-thon for Hawaiian cultural topics something during the Makahiki festival perhaps around the month of November. The hope is that our lackluster coverage of Hawaiian mythology could be improved with help from the Bishop Museum, Hawaii Pacific University, and the Honolulu public library. I am in the process of making initial contacts with these organizations as well as Wikimedia DC's GLAM project. If this sounds like something you might be interested in participating in, or perhaps helping to coordinate, could you please add your name to 2014 Makahiki Edit-a-thon?--v/r - TP 21:24, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Article move request.
There is currently a discussion underway to request an article under this projects scope be moved to a different title. There are actually many options and variations to this name so input is needed to determine a consensus. This involves using special characters in the article title and has touched on whether or not all articles with the ?okina's and kahak?'s should be moved to regular English spellings with redirects left per Wikipedia policy. This question has been raised recently and the community may wish to add input, change consensus or clarify and or strengthen consensus etc.. The discussion is at Talk:Pa'u riders#Request move. Thanks!--Mark Miller (talk) 19:57, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Spam (food) page and its article class
Hello! A group of me and three other students (User: lhe3460, User:KathyQX94, User: mwong850, User: tkw32) at Cornell University intend to edit the Spam_(food) page as a class assignment and we would really value your feedback and ideas. The class is called Online Communities and will allow us to gain firsthand experience about joining a community online. We have proposed a list of changes to the article on the talk page along with a list of potential sources. We have some specific questions and it would be great if you could answer them! We noticed that the Spam page is listed as a B-class article in this WikiProject but a C-class article in WikiProject Food and Drink. Is there a reason why the classes are different? Are there any specific things you would like to see in the Spam article to improve it as a whole? --Lhe3460 (talk) 23:52, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Island of Maui, Hana coastline
I was told by a man who claimed to be the heir of the Georgia Electric company named Brad and Virginia Guiste from Diamnond Head, since deceased (estate now in trust) that he gave the Hana Coastline or a large portion of it to the State some years ago (maybe in the 60's or 70's). I have no other information on this except that he was very wealthy and had no reason to create a false story. If this is true, it would seem to be a valuable part of the History of Hana. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7:1680:73E:9BE:84FC:5D52:409B (talk) 18:37, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Commons/NARA files need classifying
Media from NARA needing categories as of 21 September 2011, I happened to click on this one because it had the largest number of yet uncategorized - 1,550 of them. And scattered throughout this I found a number of images relating to Hawaii. They're not in any particular order and interspersed with other images. Some aren't even really labeled as being related to Hawaii, but I bet Fruits of the Sea is related. Anyway, it's worth a look-see if anyone thinks they have time to categorize any of them. -- Maile (talk) 15:52, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Kealapuali Ranch, Kailua, Big Island
FYI - In categorizing images on Commons, I ran across this set from HASB. I don't see this on the NRHP list, but I'm sure someone versed in the island's history knows of this. Kealapuali, a Hawaiian name meaning "The Warrior Path," is a tract of land located on the west side of the island of Hawaii. Thought to have been a trail that the ancient Hawaiians used in times of battle, Kealapuali was of little use to the native population except for bird catching and hewing timber for canoes. After the Great Mahele of 1848 and the Land Act of 1850, foreigners purchased large tracts of land throughout the Hawaiian archipelago. During this time, there were many wild cattle and sheep which roamed the slopes of Hualalai. In 1873, Charles Wall received a lease for a sheep station at Kealapuali and built the first wooden structures. It was at this time that world traveler, Isabella Bird, stayed as a guest of the Wall family and recorded much of what is known about Kealapuali at that time. Later in 1879 H.N. Greenwell acquired the lease of the property. The Greenwell family continued the sheep business until the middle 1880s. In 1885 H.N. Greenwell, together with a Portuguese man named Manuel Golarte, formed a partnership and started a successful dairy. They constructed a new residence and a dairy, as well as a chapel, due to the remoteness of their location. This site served and continues to serve as a significant contributor to the developing of Hawaii's cattle industry.
I don't see a WP article about it. But if anyone is curious, the Commons images can be found
