Article name

The use of a zero instead of an oh in the name of this article may be a clever solution to the disambiguation issue, but it's too clever. -68.76.16.14 (talk) 17:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clever, it's the name of the show. see this press releaseXeworlebi (talk) 17:27, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's incredibly not clever; in fact it's downright stupid, especially considering that the original show also officially used a zero, which was (and is) widely ignored (including, I might add, by wikipedia) since everyone pronounced it as an "Oh". And guess what, everyone is pronouncing the new series with an "Oh" as well, and wikipedia is supposed to employ common usage in titles. "Oh" well.... 70.131.159.96 (talk) 10:25, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But it is stll very confusing. At least please use that press release as a source and explain in the body about the subtle distiction of the name. W Nowicki (talk) 23:43, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No need to bother. The reboot is so bad that it will be canceled in short order, and quickly no longer meet WP's notability criteria, and just get folded back into the original series article. 70.131.159.96 (talk) 10:25, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you actually compare the title screen to the font used in the title credits then you will see that it is clearly an O is used and not an 0.94.197.68.188 (talk) 20:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK - from the CBS site:-
The original series = Hawaii Five-O [1]
The new series = Hawaii Five-0 -[2]
I suppose that technically we should be calling the new one "Hawaii five-zero"

I concur that it is a bit confusing to the uninformed (of which I would say I was one). That said, I don't know the wiki standard for changing a name that is correct yet is confusing with other names. JesseMSmith (talk) 03:51, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikia

I just started an Hawaii Five-0 wikia ,and i need help.208.54.45.68 (talk) 23:35, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taryn Manning

Taryn Manning was billed as "also starring", so I'm gonna put her in the new info box. J52y (talk) 21:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She's not a regular, and doesn't belong with main cast in article or infobox. See the CBS site.

TV show production jargon?

I don't think most readers are going to know what a "showrunner" is. I also think most people will trip over "script" when it's used as a verb. I betcha there's a Wiki policy against specialist jargon, but I don't have time to hunt for it right now. (Heck, I can't even remember how to do italics in here.)68.89.149.2 (talk) 22:18, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kono or Kona?

I'm a little perplexed by Grace Park's character's name. Some places I see it as Kono, and others cheekily as Kona. I was about to correct it on one page, but then I see "...Chin's cousin, a rookie cop nicknamed Kono." on the main page. Was there an introduction or explanation of a nickname ever?
