Aloha Nui Kakou

Hello. Welcome to my talk page. I mainly edited in areas of Hawaiian, Tahitian, Tongan and American history and mainly write biographies of people who I believe history has forgotten. - KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

CPI Hänni/Itchner

Cher Monsieur,

Hänni -- qui a accompagné Itchner lors de l'umu ti à Huahine -- de retour à Paris a édité en part à 2 des tirages de son ami avant fin 1902 puis une seconde série après le 18 novembre 1903 (recto divisé) mais n'a pas pris lui-même de photographies. Il existe donc des versions "E. Hänni, éditeur" et "A. Itchner, Huahine". Cordialement

Thank you today for Kalākaua's 1881 world tour, introduced: "The world tour was an effort by Hawaii's last king to save the dwindling Hawaiian race by supplementing the population with imported labor from similar cultures. One nation at a time, he brought Hawaii to the world's attention. Kalākaua was successful in jump-starting new immigration. He was a consummate tourist and an impressionable royal who returned home and tried to recreate the splendor of European monarchies in Hawaii. Kalākaua had no security guards to protect him, yet his safety was never in jeopardy, even though he chose public transport on ships and railways to circumnavigate the globe. It was just Kalākaua, a couple of friends, his cook, and here and there an extra person or two. One can only wonder how many days they all slept to recover from 281 days of non-stop globe trotting.! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

I suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from two days before it appears on the Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work!—Wehwalt (talk) 16:07, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

@Wehwalt and Maile66: I am not sure where to make a suggestion on this. But to make it different from the first appearance and in the spirit of wokeness/cultural sensititivity (2017 was a different time), can we swap out the image for File:Kalakaua in Japan (1881, detail).jpg or File:Kalakaua, reprinted by E. Linde (ca. 1881).jpg. KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:31, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm OK with the image swap. Of the two mentioned above, I think the Kalakaua in Japan (1881, detail) would be the best. — Maile (talk) 18:59, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

I put the one of the king alone for now. My opinion is the other makes everything a little small, but if you want it, then switch it.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:36, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I did a test myself. The image with the aides and officials doesn't look good at that small size. Better the other one. — Maile (talk) 20:48, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

About Queen Kapau - redirect to Kapau-a-Nuʻakea now deleted

Hi KAVEBEAR,

I have deleted the WP:REDIRECT to Kapau-a-Nuʻakea you created back in in 2008.

The rationale for the deletion was, broadly speaking, the term "queen" had never been used in reliable sources about her.

I would seek your opinion about this.

Hi, I have been working on the above article. Can you cast your mind back to 2014? I am looking at the third ref from the Congressional Serial Set that you added. It appears to only be a partial reference. By any chance can you remember either the rest of the reference or where you sourced it from? Skullcinema (talk) 14:04, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
