message: Nice article! Thank you for putting this together.
I was wondering about the magma chamber for this seamount. Is it independent of the magma chamber (if any) for Kīlauea? Or are they shared? Thank you.—RJH (talk)
:It all goes back to the hotspot, so linked in a sense, if not as intrinsically as the Kilaua/Mauna Loa connection for instance. ResMar 04:10, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the spelling within the article varies between Lōʻihi and Lōihi. While neither is wrong, having a mix of both in the article is odd. I was wondering what people's opinions are on which spelling should be used throughout the rest of the article. Gwingle (talk) 01:06, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Good eye.  Per the FAC, it’s supposed to be Lōʻihi.  Too many cooks in the kitchen left the article in its current state. Viriditas (talk) 23:14, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've made the changes - pretty sure without changing the contents of direct quotes or cited article titles. RegEx is truly a gift. I didn't check that the extant spelling in exact quotes or article citations matched the source to begin with, but I'm hopeful those who added the citations managed that.

thread_title:  Normalize spelling throughout article? 

message: Lō'ihi has been renamed:
https://kawaiola.news/aina/a-change-of-name/
The new name is: Kamaʻehuakanaloa Angiest (talk) 18:26, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an "official" name change by a state board, for an undersea location, so it is hardly used (by either name). If anyone refers to the seamount frequently, it is the body of researchers than monitor and investigate it. Does anyone know how much of this academic community has made the switch? While well-intentioned, the new name is significantly more unwieldly, and I'm betting the community will be slow to make the change. The U.S. Board of Geographic names seems to agree; it has not yet made the decision but notes the extant body of literature and the adequacy of the current name. Its inclination seemed to be to retain Loʻihi but use Kamaʻehuakanaloa and a shorter version, Kamaʻehu, as variants. Illexsquid (talk) 17:48, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

text: "I think there needs to be a section in the article explaining the name change."  -- I came here to just to see if someone had mentioned this.  I'll add it, since it has enough documentation to make it easy to write.  As far as difficulty of pronouncing, it's not more difficult than many Hawaiian words, and I hope any serious scholar working on a Hawaiian topic will take the time to learn this little bit of local culture. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 00:29, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
