message: Under the government section, I changed "Hilo is home to county, state, and federal offices, including a U.S. Courthouse." to "Hilo is home to county, state, and federal offices."  Although the "Federal Building, U.S. Post Office, and Courthouse" at Hilo, HI exists, the building is no longer a U.S. Courthouse nor is it used as a courthouse.  So to say it IS home to a U.S. Courthouse is misleading.  Perhaps it WAS home to a U.S. Courthouse may be correct, but that can be done by someone else. Here's my reference.

message: If we get around to making a separate article for the North and South Hilo district, I have made map to highlight the section of the island and uploaded it to commons. Perhaps it will be needed eventually, but I feel it really doesn't work for the Hilo, Hawaii article... --Travis Thurston+ 07:02, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, not high priority, but I would say split off the "points of interest" and some History, perhaps climate and geography into a Hilo District article (for both North and South, the divisions are for county government representation). Keep demographic info here for the CDP. W Nowicki (talk) 19:31, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Does it make sense to semi-protect this page, since it seems to mostly vandalism edits going on? W Nowicki (talk) 21:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: What's annoying is that the vandalism is enough spaced out that we'd essentially have to semiprotect it permanently; it's important enough for non-autoconfirmed users to be able to edit that we really shouldn't do that, so it's better just to block revert and warn.

message: In my opinion this should be followed up in favor of. He is equally as famous and well known as many of the people already on the list and arguably more so over people such as Gerald Okamura. Regarding wp:note he fits the needed criteria for notability (for as much as can be said from a policy based on notable articles than notable people). -WingsGoesWiki (talk) 07:39, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: *Disagree - Higa does not have his own article here on WP and his inclusion does not meet the criteria for notability. If the argument is that nigahiga has so many subscribers on youtube, I'd point to policy WP:THISNUMBERISHUGE. According to wikipedia history here, people have tried to add a bio article before and it was deleted every time...  --Travis Thurston+ 20:50, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

text: *Disagree :3 After much studying of the WP's TT provided, it's obvious that Ryan Higa cannot be added because he doesn't have his own article, and the members of Nigahiga themselves are numerous. *Feels most stupid* -WingsGoesWiki (talk) 21:46, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

text: *Agree - If Ryan Higa cannot be added, why not add "Members of Nigahiga"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.151.39.202 (talk) 14:11, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

text: *Disgree - Ryan Higa does have his own wikipedia page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigahiga so why should he not be added? Violetnhz (talk) 10:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment: Nigahiga is an article about a youtube channel, not about Ryan Higa... Beyond the fact that a channel he created has a lot of viewers on youtube, (see WP:THISNUMBERISHUGE) his notability as anything else is just nonexistent. As stated above, once there is an actual article built about him and not the channel, we can add him as a notable resident. See article that has been deleted. --Travis Thurston+ 21:04, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Since the city of Honolulu's article does not carry a "Hawaii" dab for having the best known use of that name, I suggest this article should be moved to Hilo, over the redirect already in place there, for the same reason. Plus, is Hilo a town or a city? -- 92.8.125.36 (talk) 16:31, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The stye is to append the state unless it is one of the few large cities in a specific list, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#United States. To answer your question, legally it is neither, but a "Census Designated Place". There are no incorporated cities in Hawaii. Honolulu comes the closest, but it too is a county government, just given the odd name City and County of Honolulu. As for informal usage, both "city" and "town" are commonly used.

thread_title:  Is "Hilo, Hawaii" a necessary title? 

message: I switched the box picture with one that is more recent and more pleasing. It is the skyline of Hilo as you would see it from the only real place where you can actually see the 'skyline' of our town (the other is the scenic point from Hamakua Coast Road, and I can try to take a shot from there as well. While we don't have a 'skyline' per se, one of the most interesting views is this view with the Niu (coconut) trees that are planted along Bayfront Drive. You can change/switch the picture back to the other shot if you would like, it's located just down the page I think the new picture captures the view of Hilo town that most people know/see and it is more pleasing visually. Also, it was taken just last week. Feel free to change. Thank you AlaskaDave (talk) 08:07, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I like the new picture. It does give a nice context of how the town sits in the setting. The old one was probably taken through an airplane window, so even though I tried to adjust the color, it was still not very good quality (although it does show the harbor nicely and town layout - if someone has another chance to do one from above that would be helpful). The suggestion I have for your photo is to crop out the uninteresting parts. I can do that in five minutes if you don't mind. For that matter, it is probably time to edit down the photos on this page since there are too many. The layout is broken for me, and I get a bug ugly white space in the middle of the article. This is not a photo album web site but an encyclopedia. Perhaps some of the 1956 era could go. The other long-standing project would be to split into two articles, one on the town and one on the district. There would need to be enough cited encyclopedic material to justify both of them, but it seems the way to go in the long run. W Nowicki (talk) 15:42, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I changed "There is also Connections Public Charter School located in downtown Hilo serving primary and secondary students." to read "There are also various charter schools in the area serving primary and secondary students.".
It seemed odd to pick out one charter school by name and not others.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.1.84.240 (talk) 12:40, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that should be "prosecuted" in France.
That's all.
