Semi-protected edit request on 5 December 2021
change the last sentence in the opening paragraphs to say "by far the highest cost of living" or just "the highest cost of living" not "one of the higehst" -- 193 vs. 158 (DC) is not even close, easy to say with certainty that it is the highest. people are too unwilling to commit to things like this when they're so clear — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.120.7.207 (talk) 16:15, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Change: Climates vary considerably on each island; they can be divided into windward and leeward (koʻolau and kona, respectively) areas based upon location relative to the higher mountains. Windward sides face cloud cover.[citation needed]
To:
Climates vary considerably on each island; they can be divided into windward and leeward (koʻolau and kona, respectively) areas based upon location relative to the higher mountains. Leeward side is hotter and drier because the moisture is blocked as the trade winds pass the mountain, while the windward side is wetter and cooler. See "Best Places to Visit in Hawaii".

- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. That is not a reliable source. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:38, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Please review this decision. The above correspondent is correct about the windward and leeward description, etc. And if substantively correct, source or no, those controlling the article should take the time to check the scholarly argument, and make the edit. (A check of the corresponding Britannica article, among other easily accessed sources—Britannica being mentioned because it is already cited here, albeit in improper format—shows the windward and leeward matter being discussed in relation to the weather of the islands.)
- Note, however—someone with expertise in climatology or meteorology should be consulted whether the windward/leward discussion is germane to the latter and not the former. (The matter is certainly relevant to weather, but if the changes from the windward and leeward sides elevate to the level of contributing to distinctives in climate are a separate matter, for an expert to decide.) Otherwise, please consider lifting the restrictions here. Then you can tag the poor source after the earlier editor adds it, and someone like me can come and edit the sentence to a better scholarly source. That is the way this place is supposed to function, is it not? In any case, don't just dismiss valid scholarly objections, thus limiting any forward progress. Please. Cheers. 98.253.16.20 (talk) 03:36, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

RfC: Move to Hawaiʻi
This proposal has been discussed twice in this page's history, as far as I can tell, but the last time was nine years ago. The question is: should this page be moved to Hawaiʻi? agtx 19:02, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
Discussion
- Support. In previous discussions WP:COMMONNAME was cited as the reason to leave the page as it is. This isn't a persuasive rationale anymore. Per WP:TIES, we use the appropriate form of English when an article has a strong national tie. Hawaiʻi's history and relationship with the rest of the United States is complicated, and the idea that we would apply Ties and Common Name to allow what is commonly used in the mainland United States to trample over the common usage in Hawaiʻi smacks of systemic bias. The spelling with the Okina appears predominant in Hawaiʻi. It's used by the state government, the state courts, the state university, magazines, news outlets, and road signs. It's time to catch up. agtx 19:15, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
