[edit] Shaved Ice Error
In the article on "Shaved Ice", The myth about the plantation workers using samurai swords to shave ice is doubtful, seeing as how the Japanese immigrants to Hawai'i Nei in the late 19th century are characterized by historical records as commoners and farmers from the southern island of Kyushu who specialized in wet agriculture, thus their usefulness with sugar cane. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Extrabadfish (talk • contribs) 08:51, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Anyone interested in a Hawaiian Wikipedia:Meetup?
Is anyone interested in doing a Wikipedia:Meetup at some point. I am an editor with >2,000 live edits. Among my work are the citations for Chatt G. Wright, the Life in Denmark and Tunisia section, citations, & external links for Macel Leilani Wilson, the bibliography, citations, & external links for Robert Wintner, & the creation of the Pål Wessel article. I would like to get together for a face-to-face meetings. I am on Oahu, but that would not preclude meeting on one of the other islands if there was enough notice.

[edit] Hawaii hotspot
I'm going to try and restart this old project, and your comments would be highly appreciated. Thanks =), ResMar 02:09, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Right so, leaving Hawaii hotspot aside, I would like to collab with some people on the two other remaining tasks—doing maintenance on Mauna Loa and FARing it, because it's quite an old FA, and getting Kilauea to GA status. Any volunteers? I would really appreciate the help with concluding this project. ResMar 23:48, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- I've been monitoring it for a while, but before it received protection Mauna Loa received an unusual amount of vandalism for such a non-controversial article. It would be good to give a good going-over. KarlM (talk) 03:03, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's pretty high-visibility, that's the problem; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Volcanoes/Popular pages. It's certainly not as up there as Iceland or Volcano, but it's there...ResMar 05:53, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Kilauea
I'm interested in using the content from Kilauea#Approaches in a rewrite. However, it's completely unsourced; anyone know where this is coming from, or can point me to a good reference? Thanks, ResMar 03:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

- Would any of these links help?
[edit] WikiWomen's History Month
Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Hawaii will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in Hawaii's history, society and culture. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 23:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Alexis Bachelot
Hi everyone, the article on Alexis Bachelot, one of the first Catholic missionaries to Hawaii, is currently a featured article candidate. I'm very far from an expert in Hawaiian history, so it would be much appreciated if anyone who knows a lot/is interested in the history of Hawaii could review the article. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 22:42, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
