Talk:Kahoʻolawe

message: The article states that the island is part of the Honualua ahupuaa and has (Makawao) in parenthesis after this.  But Makawao isn't even part of Honualua - it's on the other side of the island of Maui in Hamakualoa.  Wailea is really the only modern settlement in Honualua.

message: It would be nice to have a photo to replace the aerial one currently in the article, which is rather washed out due to the angle of the sun. -- Beland (talk) 22:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like we can find the original used as the basis for :File:Kohoolawe satellite photo.jpg and upload it.  I'll keep an eye out for it and replace the old one when I find it. Viriditas (talk) 05:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Would it be possible to include an audio recording of the correct pronunciation of the name Kahoʻolawe?  I have found a couple of YouTube videos that attempt this, but I am unclear whether the word is being pronounced correctly in them.

message: Nearly all references to the island I see today use the ‘okina. I request a move to use it (or an apostrophe as close substitute). This article is the first time I have seen it written in the anglicized form. Mahalo. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 11:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Kahoolawe →  – Most modern references to the island use the ʻOkina (glottal stop/apostrophe).  The majority of Google search pages that omit it seem to do that for technical reasons (except for Britannica, a source far removed from Hawaiian geography or history. Article was at Kahoʻolawe for some time before it was moved to the non-Okina version without discussion.  While many Hawaiian topics and places appear with an without Okina depending on whether they are local or mainland/international sources (e.g. Hawaiʻi vs Hawaii, Oʻahu vs Oahu) the data for Kahoʻolawe is very strong towards using the Okina.  The only significant use of the term without ʻokina in the citations come from geographic articles. Cultural, local, military (U.S. Navy) use the ʻokina. (Several Citations such as Honolulu Magazine  are cited in the article without the 'Okina used in the original sources.  These were edited by an IP editor in October 2011 and removed without regards to the spelling using in the original (and will be restored regardless of the move outcome). -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 11:23, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
