Hi, welcome to Wikipedia.  Just saw your comment at [[Creole language]].  The state seems to think that it's Hawaii, not Hawai'i : [http://www.state.hi.us/ http://www.state.hi.us/].  [[User:RickK|RickK]] 04:37, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

:Well, I went ahead and changed it (the word was spelled like that from before).  But, FWIW, even within Hawaii, it's really not consistent, and there's no real consensus as to which is correct...you'll see Hawai'i (spelled with the glottal stop) as often as you'll see it spelled without.  It's been discussed at length on the [[Talk:Hawaii]] page.  But thanks for pointing it out.  [[User:KeithH|KeithH]] 04:59, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for verifying that stastic, Keith. I reverted en-masse that user's contributions because I suspected him or her of submitting false or unverifiable and obscure true information to test our procedures. I hope this has not been an inconvenience for you. - [[User:Mark|Mark]] 11:33, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike  (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public domain]] if they prefer.  The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles.  Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 2000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles.  Over 90% of people asked have agreed.  For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]].  The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.  -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]

==[[Aloha Flight 243]]==
Back in January and May, you made some edits to this article which seem to have attracted some attention. Nothing wrong with you, but since it (at least) peripherally has to do with your contributions, I figured you might want to know about it. See 

*[[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive21#Possible plagiarism by newspaper|Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Possible plagiarism by newspaper]]

== Diamond Head, Hawaii ==

One of the pictures on the [[Diamond Head, Hawaii]] article is up for nomination to become a '''featured picture!'''  You can see the picture [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DiamondHeadCrater.jpg here].  Please add a supporting vote on its nomination page [[Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates#Current_nominations|here]] or, more specifically, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DiamondHeadCrater.jpg here], if you feel it's worthy.  Thanks for your help!  [[User:Cathryn|Cathryn]] 16:03, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

==[[Haupia]]==
I've added the "{{tl|prod}}" template to the article [[Haupia]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at [[Talk:Haupia]]. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]]. [[User:Oo7565|Oo7565]] 18:09, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
:Point taken.  I'm going to refer this to the folks at WikiProject Hawaii and see if they can add stuff on to it.  [[User:KeithH|KeithH]] 01:46, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

== Wikinews question ==

Aloha,

I noticed you weren't so active on Wikinews lately... you're still listed as a member of the Welcommittee... We're trying to clear that list of any inactive users, so people would ask questions to those most likely to answer quickly (see this discussion: [[n:Wikinews_talk:Welcommittee]]). If you still want to be listed, could you add your name to the NEW list on that talk page?

==Bo' Selecta! "vandalism"==

Hey. Just a quick message to ask exactly why my ''[[Bo' Selecta!]]'' edits where considered vandalism...I merely changed an incorrect Mel B quote on the page to one she DOES say. Do you even watch the show? [[User:82.12.125.231|82.12.125.231]] 23:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
:Sorry, my mistake.  I put back the edits and struck out the warning.  But keep in mind that blanking your own talk page to remove warnings can be considered an attempt to circumvent counter-vandalism efforts (that's what I caught at first).  Best to address them on your talk page as well.  Thanks for checking with me.  [[User:KeithH|KeithH]] 23:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh, no problem, I understand you were just doing your job. Its an easy mistake to make, especially when ''Bo''' has, most of the time, perpetually filthy quotes, incorrect or not.
Oh, and about the blanking of my talk page, sorry, but I only done that because I kept on getting the "You have new messages" alert constantly flashing up, when in fact...I didn't... :/ [[User:82.12.125.231|82.12.125.231]] 23:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

==Thank you...==

== Thanks for the note ==

I'll try to "assume good faith" from now on, I was a little upset at seeing perfectly good references deleted.  

They probably should have been "reverted" rather than added back by myself by hand; in the future, how do I go about "reverting" changes, or having an editor do it, if that's required? <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/216.231.50.177|216.231.50.177]] ([[User talk:216.231.50.177|talk]]) 07:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->
:No problem.  You can do it yourself; [[WP:REVERT]] gives a full description on how to do it.  Be careful when reverting when angry, though...there is the [[Wikipedia:Three-revert rule|three revert rule]].  Cheers, [[User:KeithH|KeithH]] 07:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

==Succession boxes==
Thanks for undoing Quadus's revision of my use of the one to two succession boxes. He's had it in for me ever since I had the category on the movement to impeach Goerge H.W. Bush successfuly removed.--[[User:Dr who1975|Dr who1975]] 18:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
:Well, I'll let you work it out with Quadpus (or not).  It doesn't much matter to me, as long as the information is factually correct.  [[User:KeithH|KeithH]] 22:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

== Long rice ==

Thank you for adding information about Hawaiian "long rice."  However, you appear, as many people do, to have confused [[cellophane noodles]] (which are clear and made from mung bean starch) with [[rice vermicelli]] (which are white and made from rice).  I am fairly certain that "long rice" is the latter.  Can you make this change, moving the information from the [[cellophane noodles]] article to the [[rice vermicelli]] article?  Thank you,  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 08:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
:First off, with all due respect, I was born, raised, and live in Hawaii.  I've been to many first-birthday luaus and Hawaiian food places, and I'm certain that "long rice" refers to cellophane noodles.  [http://onokinegrindz.typepad.com/ono_kine_grindz/2005/10/chicken_long_ri.html This page] has a pic of chicken long rice; notice that the noodles are transparent.  And I should also point out that our local paper wrote a story on cellophane noodles/long rice (read ref #1).  Thanks for asking, though.  [[User:KeithH|KeithH]] 08:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

From the sources, apparently others have had this confusion. [http://heart.kumu.org/lrv.html].  Most importantly, why would anyone call it long "rice" if the noodles are not made from rice?  I'd like to have your input about this.  Because this confusion will need to be addressed on both the [[cellophane noodles]] and [[rice vermicelli]] noodles pages, I believe.  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 08:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

== Taro question ==

I see you know a lot about taro and Hawaiian foods in general. I asked this question at the Poi article but didn't get a response. I expect you know the answer:  "Do Native Hawaiians eat taro without mashing it first? Is poi the only traditional way Native Hawaiians eat/ate taro? Poi making is so labor intensive (using those stone pounding tools of various sizes), and taro so delicious cut into slices and steamed or boiled, or fried until golden brown, I wonder why poi seems to be the only way Hawaiians ate it." [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 09:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

==Hawaiian diacritics==
Don't know if you've seen this, but as a member of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii]], you might want to comment on the current proposal in the Wikiproject Hawaii MOS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Hawaii/Manual_of_Style]; [[User:Erudy]] has posted a "modest proposal" to basically eliminate all diacritics from Hawaiian articles, except for a citation at the beginning.  Right now there are only 4 comments, evenly split.  As far as I can tell all of those supporting it haven't contributed to Hawaiian articles, so it would be disturbing if they claimed victory when hardly anyone who is actually from or connected to Hawai{{okina}}i has put in their voice.

== [[Coconut bar]]/[[Haupia]] ==

== Kamehameha Schools ==

Hey.  Wondered if you had read or heard of [http://www.brokentrustbook.com/ Broken Trust]?  The timeline in there describing the history of the trust (and the ongoing malfeasance) might be enough to start a small article on the trust itself (which I noticed redirects to Kamehameha Schools).  What is your opinion on the general POV of the book (if you've read it)?  Was there originally an article on the trust?  Any thoughts? [[User:Protonk|Protonk]] ([[User talk:Protonk|talk]]) 02:40, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
:I've heard of the book; never read it though. I don't think that there is a need for a separate article though, as Kamehameha Schools and Bishop Estate are one and the same.  The malfeasance described in the book and the resulting turnover is summarized under [[Kamehameha_Schools#Reorganization]].  You're of course free to add to it. Hope this helps.  [[User:KeithH|KeithH]] ([[User talk:KeithH#top|talk]]) 00:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::Ok, thanks.  A portion of the book is history (how the estate got started, how it was organized, etc).  I'll put it on my to-do list.

Aloha! I am planning to set up an Oahu Wikinic for June 23, as described at [[Wikipedia:Wiknic]]

My Wikipedia user name is Peaceray, I started about 15 months ago, & I have about 2,500 edits on en.wikipedia.org. I have been hankering to meet with some fellow local Wikipedians, especially since a few of us live in Kailua. To that end, I am sending email to or posting on the user Talk pages of 19 of us from the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii/Participants]] page who I could identify as possibly living on Oahu.

Please see [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Oahu/1]] & [[Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Oahu/1]]

I am open to any of the locations mentioned in the post, or other alternatives. I am like-to-operate-by-consensus type of guy, any workable location on which we could soon decide would be great!

|style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | Dear Mr. Keith,

I looked through your website, but couldn't find a guestbook or your e-mail, so I decided to just post on your talk page (and hopefully you won't mind). 

I read your blog with great interest. You're a very articulate, intelligent man. I also think you're very cool! I envy your geeky hobbies of ham radio, social media, computers, and photography and your mathematics ability. I also did not graduate from Punahou or went to a mainland college (although I guess 2 master's degrees will have to do ;) ). And I'm currently a non-practicing Christian and admire serious Christians who make friends with people regardless of their faith. 

I actually found your site after stumbling onto your Wikipedia page. I don't really know anybody else in Hawaii who contributes to Wikipedia.

Anyways, I apologize if I said too much personal info in this space or if I came across as overly imposing (I hope you don't mind me approaching you like this, since I try to keep a respectful distance from others). But I promise I'm harmless ;) And I wish you the best.

Sincerely,

The article [[Customs and etiquette in Hawaii]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''This appears to be some summary of the only cited book or all [[WP:OR|original research]]. Wikipedia is also not an etiquette guide.'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Customs and etiquette in Hawaii|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> —[[User:Ryulong|<span style="color:blue;">Ryulong</span>]] ([[User talk:Ryulong|<span style="color:gold;">琉竜</span>]]) 20:15, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

== Hawaii edit-a-thon! ==

Hello.  I'm interested in attempting to put together an edit-a-thon for Hawaiian cultural topics something during the [[Makahiki]] festival perhaps around the month of November.  The hope is that our lackluster coverage of Hawaiian mythology could be improved with help from the [[Bishop Museum]], [[Hawaii Pacific University]], and the Honolulu public library.  I am in the process of making initial contacts with these organizations as well as Wikimedia DC's GLAM project.  If this sounds like something you might be interested in participating in, or perhaps helping to coordinate, could you please add your name to [[Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Hawaii/2014_Makahiki_Edit-a-thon|2014 Makahiki Edit-a-thon]]?--v/r - [[User:TParis|T]][[User_talk:TParis|P]] 21:22, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for November 25==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Soup]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Soup to nuts]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

Aloha!


Last summer I moved to the Seattle area after 14 years in Kailua on Oahu. I immediately fell in with the [http://cascadia.wiki Cascadia Wikimedians User Group] as it formed, joined its board and became its first president as well as the [[Wikipedia:GLAM|GLAM]] representative for Washington State.

Recently, Adriel Luis, Curator (Digital & Emerging Media) at the [http://smithsonianapa.org/about Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center], contacted me about setting up an [[Wikipedia:How to run an edit-a-thon|edit-a-thon]] like the previous [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Wikipedia APA|Wikipedia APA]] edit-a-thon. In addition to discussing one for Seattle, he wrote:

{{pull quote|It's awesome to learn about your past in Honolulu - I'm actually going to be there for another SmithsonianAPA project mid September, and thinking that this could be an opportunity to do an event there as well! I have lots of contacts with UH and the museums, but do you know of any contacts on the Wikimedia side out there?}}

As I was working two jobs while I lived on Oahu, I did not have the opportunity to meet your or any other Wikipedians at the time. Hence, the reason why I am contacting you now.

If you would like to help, please contact me through one of these methods:
*Email me directly at [mailto:peaceray@cascadia.wiki peaceray@cascadia.wiki]
*Use [[Special:EmailUser/Peaceray]] to email me
*Leave a message for me on [[User_talk:Peaceray|my talk page]].

== Survey Invite ==

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_81igOxKbZoW0psp&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! [[User:Porteclefs|Porteclefs]] ([[User talk:Porteclefs|talk]]) 16:54, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
