Actually...

I thought I fixed it. --Jennica 21:39, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I changed it because the coding was messed up but I didn't do anything like vandalize. I didn't mean to :) --Jennica 21:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Lyrics tend to be copyrighted, and as such shouldn't be within the article. Unless you can prove otherwise please do not add them back into the article. --Steve _(Stephen)^talk 22:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, and for taking time to see if copyright exists. Are you a member of WikiProject Hawaii? It might be worth leaving a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hawaii to see if anyone has come across similar issues. PS. Please leave messages at the bottom of editor's talk pages, otherwise they sometimes get missed! Best wishes. --Steve _(Stephen)^talk 00:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

The copyright, if it still exists, will be owned by Robert J.K. Näwähine, or his estate if he has died. The website huapala.org may have no more right to publish the lyrics than Wikipedia, it's just that Wikipedia treats such things far more seriously given its profile. Good luck. --Steve _(Stephen)^talk 01:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Kudos for trying to get the details. I'm not a copyright expert by any means, but your suggested text seems to be skirting around the issue. My view would be to leave the lyrics out. You've created an article about the song, and a link where people can see the lyrics, and the article can be expanded over time. You're not the only one facing these issues, look how they've dealt with it at "Happy Birthday to You", the most popular, yet copyrighted, song in English! There are plenty of other articles that can use your help, don't get bogged down on this one! --Steve _(Stephen)^talk 04:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Why are you so adamant about having her page deleted? She does alot for the community and she has helped many people in Leyte, Philippines survive the mudslide there. In Los Angeles, New York and the Philippines she is recognized. She has helped the government with the poor people of the Philippines.

I don't understand why you nominated her page in the first place?

Hula

Thank you for encouraging the use of kahakō - but be careful with links to images, please. I fixed this already. In the German Wikipedia there is a special article de:Kahakō (as well as de:ʻOkina). Aloha, --ThT 21:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I live in Berlin, Germany, but visited the islands several times. Some of the images in the Hula article in German I took myself at the Merrie Monarch Festival. I drove past Mililani several times while heading to Mokuleia Beach ... Aloha, Thomas

We can't change it now that it is nominated but it needs alot of improvement but that doesn't mean that it has to be deleted.

God Bless your Filipino family.

Jaynekennedy 21:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry

I thought your partner was Filipino? I guess I misread it. I meant it in a good way.

Dennis Pavao

Thanks for catching the error. Did you see my request for a guitarist infobox on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Hawaii#Dennis_Pavao? —Viriditas | Talk 08:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Please follow the links I left you above. You are confusing the Guitarist project template on talk with the Guitarist infobox requested in the main article. Just follow the links I left you above and it will become clear. Regarding your comments on my talk page about being "curious to know why you placed the tag that this article must adhere to living person's biography", the WPBiography template that I added flagged living=yes in error. You will notice that I originally added the day of his death and Category:2002 deaths to the main article. Enjoy, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me. —Viriditas | Talk 23:42, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello

I've requested a peer review for the Punahou School article here. Please review! Sr13 (T|C) ^ER 09:19, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the PR!

Maikaʻi, mahalo! ʻA ʻo ʻoe?

Yes, you are correct, and I have been to Kamehameha School for the last six years as well. Sr13 (T|C) ^ER 23:42, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Robert Burns used "Scotch" as ="Scottish"

See the footnote I've added, Scotch#_note-1, and by all means look at other occurrences on robertburns.org to support your usage. As Burns wrote in 1787, "The appelation of a Scotch Bard, is by far my highest pride; to continue to deserve it is my most exalted ambition." -- Ben ^TALK/_HIST 06:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Scotch/Scottish

Hey, it doesn't matter. I only changed it first because you had it spelled wrong (it happens, no worries), and second, because it was a red link, and thought I could help out. Aloha. --Ali'i 12:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Aloha ahiahi!

Because of your expertise in Hawaiian, I think that your help would be greatly appreciated at the Hawaiian Wikipedia. I am Kalanimoku on that Wikipedia, and I don't particularly edit there much. The Wikipedia is pretty much dormant, and a revival would definitely help. Sr13 (T|C) ^ER 09:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
