Sorry there's been alot of back and forth on that page between myself and Mark Miller since last I messaged. I'd be curious to hear your take on my section on the lineage in talk. Given your prodigious output, familiarity with the sources and styles and best ways to write biographical articles for these ali'i for whom there is inconsistent naming conventions I'm keen to hear what you have to say. Seems Mark is intent to exclude anything suggesting Kamakahelei is Robert Hoapili's grandmother, and anything suggesting that he was a model together with JT Baker for the Kamehameha statues on the basis of one brief retraction in a newspaper.

Hello:

I have just started a copy edit of the article Kapiʻolani which I will likely finish tomorrow.

I think this sentence in the Early life and family section needs clarifying: "Her namesake was her great-aunt High Chiefess Kapiʻolani, who plucked the ʻōhelo berries and openly defied the goddess Pele as a dramatic demonstration of her new faith in Christianity." Is the act of picking the berries defying the goddess, or what?

In addition to the issue I pointed out (above) I have an additional question. This sentence in the Queen of Hawaii reads: "A clinical analysis into the cause of Kalākaua's death led to speculation that the king may have been infertile since Kapiʻolani had a miscarried pregnancy with her previous marriage." Would the word "autopsy" not be more appropriate than "clinical analysis"?

This is to let you know that the James Wood Bush article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 24, 2020. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 24, 2020, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:25, 4 March 2020 (UTC) reply

I've been working on the article on Patsy Mink and am struggling with the photos, as the verifications on them all is pretty lacking. I found this lovely photo clearly showing she was the only woman in a sea of men in the 1958 Senate. Though it is tagged "official photo" and clearly thus designated as one to be published, I cannot find any evidence of it being published anywhere. Checked newspapers.com and newspaperarchives.com; also did a search in archive.org, but didn't really find any annual yearbooks or documents for Hawaii that might have published it. Do you have ideas of where I might look? SusunW ( talk) 15:55, 23 March 2020 (UTC) @ SusunW: This is beyond my realm of research. But my best bet is finding it at newspapers.com.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Laura Fish Judd. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hi-I started an article about Baldwin Domingo. He was born in Hamakuapoko, Hawaii. Baldwin Domingo served in the United States military and then taught in a college in New Hampshire. Baldwin Domingo served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He had an interesting career. Okay his birthplace was redirected to the History of Maui. The listing for Hamakuapoko was listed twice in GNIS: Civil-gnis: 359007; Populated place-gnis-359008. I am not sure if an article about Hamakuapoko can be started or not. Also I thought you would be interested in the Baldwin Domingo article since he was born in Hawaii. Also many thanks about your articles on the Hawaii Royal Family and nobility; the articles are very interesting. Again my thanks- RFD ( talk) 12:37, 18 May 2020 (UTC) reply

I am new at this and have not figured out exactly how to do everything or what I am supposed to do. I am guessing that this is where I answer you. I am Kapekaʻs great granddaughter, have been doing our genealogy for 40 years and thought it was time to fix some of the incorrect information. I am thinking that you put her photo back on to the page. I donʻt know why it was lost when I made the change to her name and added her death date. If it was you, thank you. I was going to have to figure out how to replace it. I have also been wondering if you are a family member. I am working on more fixes, but I have to be absolutely certain before I make any changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peleahi ( talk • contribs) 20:25, 23 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Welina, Thank you for getting back to me. Itʻs taken a long time for me to come to a place where I feel confident about making changes. 1. Lapana is listed as Lizzieʻs husband in the 1900 census with his occupation being a painter. He is also listed in the 1910 census and both times he and Lizzie were living with Lizzieʻs daughters and their husbands and children. 2) For many years we thought that Lapana had taken her middle name because someone, Iʻd rather not say who, had told our family that was her name. However, another of my cousins has letters written by Liliʻu and Likelike to each other and to Lizzie. Nowhere in any documents have we seen the middle name Keawepoʻoole. I recently found Lapanaʻs genealogy and he was born Lapana Keawepoʻoole. His grandmother was High Chiefess Keawepoʻooleinamoku and it states in the genealogy that they shortened the name. Keawe-poʻo-o-lei-na-moku means "He/She who carries the head lei of Keawe" which is why I took the okina out. I was also told by Aunty Edith McKenzie that the longer name was correct. She was the first to bring it to my attention which made me research the name in the first place. 3. The only reason I put Qʻing is because I am a stickler for using the original names of people and places. I also use Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, Territory of Hawaii and USA etc. Itʻs just important to me that it is understood what period of time our ancestors were born in. I was Told that he and his brother were the last of the Qʻing dynasty, but I have no way to research that. 4) I have Lizzieʻs death certificate which states that she is buried at King Street, News articles mention a parade down King Street and my father and his siblings used to go there to take flowers to her grave. Kahaʻi Topolinski, my cousins and I, all believe that all three Tahitian princesses are there along with Lizzie, William and John Sumner. Evidently there was a fire that destroyed all the records for that cemetery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peleahi ( talk • contribs) 01:02, 24 May 2020 (UTC) reply

The article Na Lani ?Eh? you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Na Lani ?Eh? for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

The article Na Lani ʻEhā you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Na Lani ʻEhā for issues which need to be addressed.

Hi, KAVEBEAR. The Lucy Goodale Thurston page is already up. I published the content on an existing Lucy Goodale Thurston page, which previously functioned as a redirect. You can check it and see if you can add more info. Also, I need help with the Asa and Lucy Goodale Thurston page. I could not move the current article to a new Asa Thurston page because it already exists, this one is also functioning as a redirect. I do not know how to proceed. Thanks!

On 12 June 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lucy Goodale Thurston, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that missionary and author Lucy Goodale Thurston survived a mastectomy without anaesthetic in 1855? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lucy Goodale Thurston. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello KAVEBEAR, thanks for all the interesting info on my ancestor William Henry Daniels. I have a question about the name of his spouse. In our family records, we have it as Margaret Kahanu (the Wikipedia page shows a different last name than that). I'd be happy to compare notes if that would be of help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackie'sOldestDaughter ( talk • contribs) 14:41, 18 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Aloha, thank you for pointing that out. I think that spelling Mareta Lauwalu refers to the same person. It comes from Hawaiian language marriage records and may have Hawaiianized her first name and left out the Ka in her second name and her surname. Her gravestone is written as Kalauwalu Daniels. I changed it to Margaret Kalauwalu Kahanu to reflect a more complete name. KAVEBEAR ( talk) 15:07, 18 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Mahalo nui for the correction and for the info. If you can point me to where the gravesite is I would so appreciate it. Last time I was on Maui I went to try to find his grave marker but could not. I walked the whole site! I'd like to try again next time if possible. ~ Aloha — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:1314:42F5:2823:E208:7785:A12B ( talk) 01:14, 25 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Hello, KAVEBEAR. I am having some issues at Hawaian Wikipedia, which I assume that are easy to deal with by those that speak the language. Some edits that seem to be vandalism, but I can’t tell for sure for I don’t speak the language. Could you please help me?

For instance, “ haw:Jair Bolsonaro” and others have weird tags on it and this one particularly mentions Daisy Duck apparently out of context.

“ haw:Arthur Virgílio Neto” has a picture of Hello Kitty for no apparent reason and I assume that there are possibly many other articles with wrong information identifiable only by those that speak Hawaian.— Teles « Talk to me˱ _{M @ C S}˲» 15:25, 4 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Hi, Thanks for thinking of the 'romanticized European likenesses' in the relevance of the image I found to illustrate the 'colonial sections' of the Tahitian people article. 'Portrait of Poedua' also suffers from the same fate - it is problematic also for the sexualised nature of it. My instinct as an editor based on your edit would be to find an image of one of the sailing ships to better illustrate this period of time. I am also going to edit the colonial section as most of the current content is very sexualised and irrelevant and insulting to the history of Tahitian people. I hope you agree. Pakoire ( talk) 07:36, 3 September 2020 (UTC) reply

There are definitely better images. I would say that expansion would be a positive since none of Pomare monarchs were even mentioned. KAVEBEAR ( talk) 07:45, 3 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Dear KAVEBEAR. I am shocked to see that there is a message right above informing you falsely that I made your GA nominee fail. The contrary is true: I passed it. I felt we had gone far enough. Some of my later suggestions were perhaps less convincing and less to the point. Ka'iulani's talk page now shows the GA logo. The article page not yet. I hope it will still come. Some of the software supporting the GA process seems to be very buggy. It might be that the software had problems with the curved apostrophe in the name.—Besides, have I been OK as a novice reviewer?
