Ahupua'a[edit]

The article states that the island is part of the Honualua ahupuaa and has (Makawao) in parenthesis after this. But Makawao isn't even part of Honualua - it's on the other side of the island of Maui in Hamakualoa. Wailea is really the only modern settlement in Honualua.

Tradewinds[edit]

Hephaestos (and earlier Menchi) wrote "Tradewinds" may be a proper noun, but it's not the proper noun for this context. Unfortunately, I will need to research this further (I'm not an English major, nor very good at the rules of English), but it is a popular misconception that Tradewinds and trade winds are different things. The winds that blow over Kaho'olawe are the Northeast Tradewinds (guess we need an article on the different winds of the globe). Someone please explain the context that makes "trade winds" correct in this instance - Marshman 17:24, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

It's quite possible I misunderstand the concept with regard to Kahoolawe in particular; I was using Encyclopedia.com [1] as a reference. Definitely we need an article at some point, I was kind of surprised there wasn't one already. - Hephaestos 21:04, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Since we are both responding from mostly ignorance, I'll try and get to the bottom and make an article on Tradewinds. I was hopeful you would have a rule of English that would trump me. Living in the Northeast Tradewinds, I do know they are widely given as "trade winds" but meteorological friends tell me this is wrong and it should be "Tradewinds" (the name of a specific belt of winds on the globe). It was certainly that context that applies to the article here. -Marshman

Photo request[edit]

It would be nice to have a photo to replace the aerial one currently in the article, which is rather washed out due to the angle of the sun. -- Beland (talk) 22:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

It looks like we can find the original used as the basis for File:Kohoolawe satellite photo.jpg and upload it. I'll keep an eye out for it and replace the old one when I find it. Viriditas (talk) 05:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Status Update[edit]

IF anyone can find any info on a status update on the munition cleanup etc.. please feel free as this article is starting to seem a bit dated. -Tracer9999 (talk) 16:14, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Audio Recording of Pronunciation[edit]

Would it be possible to include an audio recording of the correct pronunciation of the name Kahoʻolawe? I have found a couple of YouTube videos that attempt this, but I am unclear whether the word is being pronounced correctly in them.
