The article states that the island is part of the Honualua ahupuaa and has (Makawao) in parenthesis after this. But Makawao isn't even part of Honualua - it's on the other side of the island of Maui in Hamakualoa. Wailea is really the only modern settlement in Honualua.

Hephaestos (and earlier Menchi) wrote "Tradewinds" may be a proper noun, but it's not the proper noun for this context. Unfortunately, I will need to research this further (I'm not an English major, nor very good at the rules of English), but it is a popular misconception that Tradewinds and trade winds are different things. The winds that blow over Kaho'olawe are the Northeast Tradewinds (guess we need an article on the different winds of the globe). Someone please explain the context that makes "trade winds" correct in this instance - Marshman 17:24, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)
It would be nice to have a photo to replace the aerial one currently in the article, which is rather washed out due to the angle of the sun. -- Beland ( talk) 22:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

IF anyone can find any info on a status update on the munition cleanup etc.. please feel free as this article is starting to seem a bit dated. - Tracer9999 ( talk) 16:14, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Would it be possible to include an audio recording of the correct pronunciation of the name Kahoʻolawe? I have found a couple of YouTube videos that attempt this, but I am unclear whether the word is being pronounced correctly in them.

Nearly all references to the island I see today use the ‘okina. I request a move to use it (or an apostrophe as close substitute). This article is the first time I have seen it written in the anglicized form. Mahalo. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 11:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Kahoolawe → Kahoʻolawe – Most modern references to the island use the ʻOkina (glottal stop/apostrophe). The majority of Google search pages that omit it seem to do that for technical reasons (except for Britannica, a source far removed from Hawaiian geography or history. Article was at Kahoʻolawe for some time before it was moved to the non-Okina version without discussion. While many Hawaiian topics and places appear with an without Okina depending on whether they are local or mainland/international sources (e.g. Hawaiʻi vs Hawaii, Oʻahu vs Oahu) the data for Kahoʻolawe is very strong towards using the Okina. The only significant use of the term without ʻokina in the citations come from geographic articles. Cultural, local, military (U.S. Navy) use the ʻokina. (Several Citations such as Honolulu Magazine [2] are cited in the article without the 'Okina used in the original sources. These were edited by an IP editor in October 2011 and removed without regards to the spelling using in the original (and will be restored regardless of the move outcome). -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 11:23, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
