Okina redirects

I've asked for okina-version redirects, and they've been rejected at WP:AFC/R. Do you think that Fia Tootoo needs additional information to support okinas? The rejection of the okina-form redirects would seem to indicate that okinas should be removed. (I'm asking here since WPHAWAII is Polynesian and active, while WPSAMOA is dead) -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 09:22, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I am not surprised at such a reaction at WP:AFC/R. There are two ways to approach this.

1. Find an appropriate WikiProject talk page (like here) & ask there. Eventually someone may come along & fulfill the reqest.
2. Register yourself as a user, then create the redirect yourself. (See WP:Just do it.)

Two notes

• #REDIRECT [[Fia Tootoo]] is what you use to redirect to the Fia Tootoo article.
• {{Okina}} is the template that you can use to produce the ʻokina character if you cannot copy & paste it.

Hawaiian speakers: Article requests in Hawaiian

Does anyone know some Hawaiian speakers on here? I am looking for someone to start Hawaiian Airlines on the Hawaiian Wikipedia

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 03:22, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: can you link the Hawaiian Wikipedia? I wasn't aware we had separate wiki sites for individual U. S. states. — Maile (talk) 14:27, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

User:Maile66, It's right here haw:Ka_papa_kinohi :) - The Wiki sites are for each language. So English, Hawaiian, Japanese, Korean, etc. have separate Wikipedias. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Of course. I was aware of all the other language sites. It just never occurred to me there might be one for Hawaiian. Thanks for the link. — Maile (talk) 19:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

@Maile66: You're welcome :) - If you know Hawaiian speakers please let them know about this! WhisperToMe (talk) 19:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Malia O Ka Malu

See Talk:Malia O Ka Malu § Translations needed for proper description.

Malia O Ka Malu is clearly "Maria [something]", not literally "Our Lady of Peace"— maybe "Maria the Peacemaker"?; I don't know. Malia o ka Malu Hale Pule Nu is "Maria [something longer]". Can a Hawaiian-speaker please provide accurate translations for these names? Please {{Ping}} me to discuss. --Thnidu (talk) 01:17, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

US 50,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more states than they might otherwise work on. If there's the interest I will start 1000 State Challenges like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of states regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for the US and your specialist/home state like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every state, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any state sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thankyou.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:13, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

New article Cannabis in Hawaii

I just started Cannabis in Hawaii as part of my general campaign to have a cannabis article for each state. I've got the main details on the 2010 MMJ program, but I think the article could definitely use some expanding about the uniqueness of Hawaii's cannabis culture, how it got there, its financial and social impact, etc. Just listing here since someone might find it an interesting challenge.

Talk:Haole

Could someone take a look at Talk:Haole please. I made a comment on the page, then noticed that an anonymous editor had used a cite book template, causing a reference to appear at the bottom of the page, which I think tends to discourage any further comments. I don't want to edit someone else's post so maybe an admin could take a look at it. Piwaiwaka (talk) 22:52, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

 Done easy fix! — Maile (talk) 23:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks !!! Piwaiwaka (talk) 23:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

@KAVEBEAR: @Maile66: @Piwaiwaka: There is actually a way to have the reference appear within the section, so I converted it to that. The way to do this is to use the |group= parameter in both the <ref> tag & {{reflist}} template., such as:

• <ref group="Remove unsourced section">
• {{Reflist|group="Remove unsourced section"}}

I took the liberty of putting this construct into the Talk:Haole#Remove unsourced section discussion.

2016 Community Wishlist Survey Proposal to Revive Popular Pages

Greetings WikiProject Hawaii/Archive 4 Members!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:

• Fix and improve Mr.Z-bot's popular pages report

If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.

Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 18:01, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Kamehameha Schools Song Contest

Could someone from WP:HAWAII take a look at Kamehameha Schools Song Contest? The article was prod deleted back in December 2016, but re-created almost immediately thereafter. The creator Kamehameha Schools Song Contest has been soft-blocked for their username, and most of the content is being added by IPs. Lots of BLP content in the article and almost all of the sources being cited are primary sources to school related webistes. I'm not sure if this contest has received enough WP:SIGCOV to satisfy WP:NEVENT, but perhaps someone from can find better sourcing. Something more than typical run-of-the-mill local media coverage is probably going to be needed if this article is to survive AfD. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:51, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Popular pages report

We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Archive 4/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Hawaii.

We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:

• The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
• The report will include a link to the pageviews tool for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
• The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).

We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Hawaii, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.

Warm regards, the Community Tech Team 17:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

{{WikiProject United States}}

Is there any interest in adding Hawaii wikiproject talk page template to the template {{WikiProject United States}}? It wouldn't change anything about the project, just the template itself. It seems like a useful template for regional articles that are of interest to many states. I'm working on some botany pages that span multiple states, and I'm hoping to not have to add separate banners for states that aren't in the template. @Kintetsubuffalo: it seems like you might be the only person active in this project based on Wikipedia:WikiProject Directory/Description/WikiProject Hawaii, is that correct? -Furicorn (talk) 08:37, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

'Okina use in Kauai article

I would appreciate some assistance from others in preventing an edit war on the Kauai article. An editor known only as 2602:306:ceab:8320:7c88:ba84:2b8e:c0c9 has removed all use of the 'okina from the article. I don't want to argue with them, so I am asking for assistance. Please help.DaKine (talk) 23:56, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

DaKine the article has been protected for three days. If the issue ever happens again on any article, you may refer to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Hawaii-related articles instead of arguing - the MOS for Hawaii specifically mentions the 'okina use for Hawaii articles. I would have temporarily blocked the IP, but they seem to be IP hopping. — Maile (talk) 00:19, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   07:40, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Qualifications for WP Hawaii article

Hi everyone,

I've been chipping away at the assessment and cleanup backlogs, and have a question. The front page says that our focus is on "Hawaiʻi and the Hawaiian Islands, its history and its society, its people and its places, its culture and its spirit." For "its people", are we counting anyone born here as belonging to Wikiproject HI, or just those who have done noteworthy things here?

For example, Chris Barron is part of WP Hawaii because he was born here, but moved away at least by the time he was 8. That is the only Hawaii connection; Hawaii is never mentioned again in his wiki article. There are a lot of biographical articles that are tagged with WP Hawaii that are in this situation, and I'm not sure if they should be removed or not. I'm leaning toward removing them since our focus would then be a little tighter, and we wouldn't get distracted by articles that are only marginally Hawaii-related. I also don't see many other Wikiprojects tagged simply because someone was born there. What do you all think? Mcampany (talk) 02:44, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

I would leave the Hawaii banners on articles where they already exist. Thank you for all your work that you are doing in this regard. Your efforts are admirable. For a comparison, Dwight D. Eisenhower has a Texas project banner because he was born there. But the family moved to Kansas when he was an infant. Eisenhower didn't even know he'd been born in Texas until he ran for political office. Editors have all kinds of reasons for putting a project banner on an article. If there is any connection to Hawaii at all, I'd leave the banner and move on to the next article. The banners don't hurt anything by being on an article. — Maile (talk) 11:34, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

That makes sense. :) I'll do that. Mcampany (talk) 15:32, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
