"To AEuSoes1 - Your user page indicates that you are a native speaker of English, and a 24-year-old in California who has a BA in English from Fresno State. It is very presumptuous for any person to deem himself qualified to rewrite an article on the phonology of a language which he does not speak. I am a fluent speaker of Hawaiian, and a long-time resident of Hawaii with a PhD in Linguistics. I reverted your edits because I am in a position to know that they were not good, in spite of your high opinion of your own edits. Yours were very major edits, not minor ones. Fixing the damage you did was best accomplished by simply undoing it in one step. Your threat, ""Do not revert my edits"", is contrary to Wikipedia policies. It is not your place to proclaim that I cannot disagree with your edits. I encouraged you to discuss your ideas for improvement, in advance, in the talk section created for that purpose. When you are specifically so encouraged, you should pay attention. I am the originator of, and major contributor to, the Hawaiian Phonology article. That is a fact which you need to heed, because when certain disputes occur, Wikipedia defers to an article's originator or major contributor. The ""IPA notice"" you added did not damage the article, but the rest of your edits did.
