message: Three different death dates? What are the sources for them? Political Graveyard is probably not reliable. W Nowicki (talk) 18:56, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with you on this issue.  I just changed the first sentence to at least say he died in November.  I think that was definitely wrong. The conflicting info goes back years, and who knows where it came from.  I've found in the past that Political Graveyard has been pretty reliable, but that's because I always had a secondary source to check it against.  Find A Grave, info input by who-knows-who, also differs.  I think we need something definitive as a source.  Also, I had made some minor changes as far as the years when he served as Mayor.  Unless there was a totally different system in those days, elections are held in even years, and the winners take office in the odd years.  I think this whole page could use some firming up.

text: Understood perfectly what you were saying about Neal Blaisdell not fitting into "ancient".  In Hawaii, there is the B.L.E. (Before Liliuokalani Era) and the A.L.E. (After Liliuokalani Era).  There is more out there B.L.E., because it's fascinating history.  A.L.E., Blaisdell was not Mayor during an era like Pearl Harbor, and he wasn't larger than life like Fasi, so info about him isn't so available.  Hawaii also has a different style than some other areas where 20th Century government historical documentation is more accessible online.  I found Honolulu Advertiser obit of Lucy's sister Clara Thurston Dwight who died in 2003.  It appears Lucy had already died by that time, but not enough info in the obit.  Fascinating if we can tie that missionary lineage to the native Hawaiian ancestry lineage of Neal Blaisdell.  Maile66 (talk) 00:58, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Nothing in this entire article, except the tie to John Adams Cummins. was sourced before you and I started sourcing yesterday.    Deleted "did not accept the job" sentence.  That sentence had jumped out at me, too.  Nobody puts the time and money into a political campaign without fully intending to take office if elected. Maile66 (talk) 16:34, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
