Talk:Mauna Kea

message: In the paragraph below, it states that the meaning of Mauna Kea may be important. It should be in the first sentence of the introduction, yet it isn't there at all that I can find. Pat34lee (talk) 07:20, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Do not follow above. Diacritics are precisely for English speakers, to indicate how non-Hawaiian speakers should pronounce the words. So according to the manual of style consensus, preference is to use them, except when a word like "Hawaiian" indicates a usage that has been absorbed into English. Removing diacritics does not translate a word into English. W Nowicki (talk) 16:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I noticed that this article consistently uses metric units first. According to WP:UNITS: In non-scientific articles with strong ties to the United States, the primary units are US customary. Mauna Kea is in US territory, and the article topic is general knowledge (not specifically scientific), so I would think US customary units should come first. What do other editors think? — hike395 (talk) 10:52, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The units should be switched. Other U.S. mountain articles show metric 2nd. The Mauna Loa article begins with metric 2nd, then switches to metric 1st beginning in the geology section, then alternates through the remainder of that article, so it could also be made more consistent.

thread_title:  Units: US customary first? 

message: I would suggest added at least a sentence under "Ascents" regarding the first full, vertical ascent of the mountain from its base on the seafloor (made via deep-diving submersible) to the summit (total vertical gain of 30,507 feet or 9,323 meters, which is higher than Everest from sea level to summit). The ascent was made without powered vehicles (other than the sub, that drifted up from the bottom) including outrigger, bicycles, and hiking, over 54 hours. It was done by a mainlander (Victor Vescovo) as well as a native Big Islander/Marine Scientist, Dr. Cliff Kapono. The expedition was chronicled and verified by multiple parties, including this local journalist: https://hanahou.com/24.3/up-the-white-mountain  There is also a supporting image of the expedition at this location off-site: https://caladanoceanic.com/expeditions/maunakea/#iLightbox[061bbd5e24eb36849b7]/1  The submitter of this topic for consideration is one of the climbers (Vescovo). Since I am conflicted, I am only suggesting it for inclusion because I think it is historically significant to the ascent history of the mountain. And it was quite difficult to execute.

message: The correct spelling according to the W.M. Keck Observatory at Maunakea and the University of Hawaii is “Maunakea”. There’s an explanation here:
https://hilo.hawaii.edu/maunakea/culture/meaning
the spelling for Mauna Kea should be “Maunakea”, and for Mauna Loa, spell it “Maunaloa”.
