Talk:Waikiki

message: What's with the diacritical marks in "Waikiki"?  Is this the standard Hawaiian language spelling?  And shouldn't it be "Beach"? RickK 03:38, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: I've moved this article from "Waikīkī" to "Waikiki".  
*The external links in this article all go to sites using "Waikiki"
*The vast majority of wikipedia-internal articles  link to some variant of "Waikiki" rather than "Waikīkī"
*In the internet at large, the vast majority of usage is for "Waikiki", rather than "Waikīkī". Google results as follows:
**"Waikiki" only  2,160,000
**"Waikiki" and "Waikīkī"  2,210
**"Waikīkī" only  747
*In internet posted news items, which arguably represent the most up-to-the-minute usage, the overwhelming majority of usage is for "Waikiki", rather than "Waikīkī".  Google News results as follows:
** "Waikiki" only  368
** "Waikīkī" only  1
This result inlcludes results for major Hawaii-based media, for instance the Honolulu Advertiser and Honolulu Star-Bulletin
My conclusion from this evidence is that "Waikiki" in much wider circulation than than "Waikīkī" and should be the title of the article.

message: I presume you must mean the reef runway, as the airport was built in the 20's or 30's. But, believe me, there is absolutely no relationship between the airport in Honolulu and the sand on Waikiki Beach. They are separate reef systems and too far apart for the reef runway to provide any sort of wave protection.  And presently there is lots of talk about needing another beach restoration or sand replenishment at Waikiki, so your hypothesis is incorrecty as to the need as well. - Marshman 18:06, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
