message: Aloha from the other side of Polynesia! (I'm in New Zealand). You may have noticed a comment on the Hawaii stub template saying that it's up for deletion. Don't worry - the template that is up for deletion is not , but is a redirect for it,  - Hawaii-stub is not up for deletion. The redirect is because there is a general guideline of removing any ambiguous or misleading stub template names, including many that contain two or three letter abbreviations. Although HI is a valid abbreviation for Hawaii, it could also be the abbreviation for many other things, and since it's only a redirect it's seen as "surplus to requirements".

I will be there with a Nikon D70, a Nikon D200, underwater kit for the Nikons, and my trusty Cybershot. On top of that, I'm armed with the de rigeur travel guides -- lonely planet, frommers, and Maui Revealed. While I haven't contributed to the Hawaii project since the last time I went (about a year ago), I have contributed articles on landmarks (such as Makapuu and on temples such as Kea'iwa Heiau). I'll be heading to Haleakala of course, as a haole tourist. But I intend to see more of the esoteric spots than your average tourist.
Please let me know on my talk page, or at avriette@gmail.com. I will be uploading photos to my flickr site, http://flickr.com/photos/avriette/ while there. I should have internet access at the hotel (which is more than I can say for my home!).

It is very lacking, and I was wondering whether someone here could expand it. Being from Australia, it is very hard to get my hands on any info about Cane Toad introductions, other than the Australian experience, which is not just two or three sentences. I will be creating another section called: "Other Introductions", as I don't want to have a seperate section for all the introductions, and most countries have not as serious problems as Austrlaia and Hawaii.

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.  B2T2 18:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

message: In August last year I introduced the Template for the Okina in the German Wikipedia. Recently a user started to delete the template links in the article :de:Hawaii which I refused to accept. That user cannot see certain representations of the Okina due to well known problems of the MS Internet Explorer.
:The Internet Explorer sometimes doesn't display charakters encoded in UTF-8 (Unicode) properly. This problem is well known in the German Wikipedia:
:* UTF-8-Probleme
:* Browser-Hinweise des Wikiwörterbuches
:* Umstellung auf Unicode
:as well as in the Meta-Wiki which was shifted to UTF-8 encoding, too: 
:* Browser issues with MediaWiki (meta) (english), see section Meta is in utf8, Character encoding.
Currently there's a Mediation Committee discussing the subject. I proposed a workaround for the MSIE (MSIE und UTF-8, in German):
:The workaround has two steps:
:# Choose a font for the display of websites in MSIE containing most of the needed characters, e.g. Arial Unicode MS or Lucida Sans Unicode. If there isn't any of those fonts installed this has to be done first.
:# Set up the MSIE to ignore the font demanded by the Website for display. With this option activated, MSIE chooses the font for display designated in the first step.
:Of course this is a change of display only, and the content will be not effected. Moreover this setting can be revoked easily, if not needed anymore (other website or with IE 7 which seems not to have the problem).
But the counterparty don't want to accept. He argues, that this workaround is not reasonable for users with the MSIE. If you're interested to discuss this, you may check this page (in German):
* Aushilfslösung zumutbar? Ja oder nein? (Is the workaround reasonable? Yes or no?)
If you want to vote (Pro: the workaround is reasonable, i.e. the Okina template can be used), please include your signature or provide a link to your account in the English Wikipedia.

Since it is the purpose of this group to improve all Hawaii related articles and to reach a consensus on how different aspects of Hawaiiana (for a lack of a better term) is incorporated in the Hawaii related articles, I think it is only appropriate that the map used in the WikiProject Hawaii Image include Niihau.  Or should I say, that Niihau be labeled on the map.  I do realize that it is the Forbidden Isle, and that it is NOT labeled on many malihini maps.  But, looking at the overall goal/objective of this WikiProject, I feel that we should give the Niihauans the credit they deserve.  E ala e!  I am open and curious to hear someone else's manao.

message: At the request of Viriditas, I humbly present Evan Dobelle to your attention.  I'd never heard of the man before I stumbled upon a lengthy reversion war happening between two single-purpose accounts.  The matter under dispute was whether there should be a paragraph on Dobelle's messy departure from the presidency of the University of Hawaii.  I did some research, and it seemed like the event was important to his career and well documented by reliable sources, and it also seemed to me like the person who was removing it was more concerned with keeping unhappy events out of the article than with neutrality and accuracy.  So I stepped in and, when offering discussion didn't help (the blanker actually refuses to discuss it on the talk page, if I understand her edit summaries correctly), I insisted that the paragraph stay unless some good reason be produced to remove it.  I'd love for a few people to take a look at the the article history and the talk page and weigh in- am I in the right here?

It would also be great if an appropriate set of redirects were available so you could, if desired, use the full diacritical spelling for a link, although it should be avoided within Wikipedia.

text: Does your link meet the requirements of Wikipedia:External links? It would be more appropriate for Wikipedia if we could actually use your material, such as your content (of course it has to meet WP:V) and photographs.  However, you would have to release that information according to the Wikipedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License and related images under Wikipedia:Image use policy. —Viriditas | Talk 22:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

===Apology Resolution===
*Talk:Apology Resolution#Dispute - Apology Resolution - Current dispute focuses on these two competing edits. Is United States Public Law 103-150 acknowledged or does it require qualification as "alleged"?  Is the use of "numerous historical sources" and "many historians and researchers" simply weasel words needing attribution, or POV pushing?  Include or exclude Russ, Tate, Daws, and Stevens?
**Proposed solution:Determine if qualifier is needed. Replace WP:WEASEL words with attribution.

message: In November 2005, Honolulu Magazine chose a list of their choices of the 100 most influential citizens of the last 100 years. The articles, with pics and bios are on line at: 
Honolulu Magazine
Many of their nominees are NOT on this list, including: Eddie Aikau, Neal Blaisdell, Charles Campbell, Jack de Mello, Jon de Mello, Webley Edwards, Frank Fasi, Jack Hall, Abigail Kawananakoa, Hal Lewis aka J. Akuhead Pupule, Ah Quon McElrath, Mary Kawena Pukui, Maurice Sullivan, Rell Sunn, Madge Tennent, and several more. Each of the people on this list deserves a Wikipedia article, IMHO. The bios are a good starting place for these articles.

message: I speedied Unorganized Hawaii State Militia on the grounds that there was no assertion of notability.  However, when I went to delete the Talk Page, I noticed that it was tagged as being under the purview of WikiProject Hawaii  so I figured I would restore the article and ask here first.  Anybody want to argue for or against keeping this article?  Please answer on Talk:Unorganized Hawaii State Militia.

message: Hello all! I was curious if anyone else thought it might be a good idea to make a (nonbinding) guideline on how all the individual US state WikiProjects should organize themselves, to help standardize them. I originally put this suggestion in the WikiProject United States talk page, so feel free to look there if you're interested. It's pretty empty though; basically all they said was to see what each of the individual projects thought about it. Please tell me if you have any concerns with this idea; hopefully we can find a way for everyone to love it! Also, I'm new at making proposals, so please forgive me if I do anything silly. :) Hope that you like this idea! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 04:58, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
