moving[edit]

just like Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. see Wikipedia´s rule on naming monarchs. Antares911 23:56, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It was requested that Kamehameha IV be moved to either Kamehameha IV of Hawai'i, Kamehameha IV, King. I among others oppose such moves. As can be seen above, the poll went stale. Requests denied. Arrigo 13:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of having to place opinions on multiple pages, we should follow the example of the users over at the we are so dumb Japan manual of style pages and move all related discussions to one place. Thus, I'm requesting that we move all discussions about the naming conventions of Hawaiian monarchs to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hawaii/Manual of Style. 青い(Aoi) 06:21, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should add personal tragedy to this biography.

Neutrality?[edit]

No mention of the fact that his estate was insolvent and essentially had to be rescued by the legislature at his death to preserve property for the next monarch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.105.214.181 (talk) 23:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Royal consorts and monarchs[edit]

Saints banner and category[edit]

Based on this individual being included in the Calendar of saints (Episcopal Church in the United States of America), I am adding the Category:Anglican saints and the Saints WikiProject banner to this article. I am awaiting reliable sources which can be used to add the content to the article. John Carter 20:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

dragonball z[edit]

was this guy the basis for the attack kamehameha? JTBX (talk) 18:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, he was a real historical figure a century and a quarter before video games. W Nowicki (talk) 20:14, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is incorrect. The name of the attack was suggested based upon the name of the Hawaiian King. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.216.191 (talk) 18:10, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Liholiho II?[edit]

An unregistered user added Alexander Liholiho II in the lead with no source. Although he was generally known as "Alexander Liholiho", that is already a subset of the given name, and I cannot find any source of the "II" designation. W Nowicki (talk) 20:14, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the user was referring to Kamehameha II being Liholiho I which never was the case. He was named after his uncle but not there was never a "II".--KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:10, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reign[edit]

This section contains one sentence about his having shot somebody, followed by four about a fancy dress ball. Pedantrician (talk) 23:05, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why would Emma be dressed as the pagan greek goddess Cybele?

Also, the infobox says he reigned until 1864, but his death date is 1863. Mark Froelich (talk) 06:44, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Early Life[edit]

What is meant by the statement "He was the grandson of all the islands."? PurpleChez (talk) 13:27, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Judd’s quote[edit]

It would probably be more accurate to describe the king's feeling as being antimissionary rather than anti-American. Dr. G. P. Judd spoke of this in one of his letters, saying, "The King, educated by the Mission, most of all things dislikes the Mission. Having been compelled to be good when a boy, he is determined not to be good as a man. Driven out by morning prayer meeting, Wednesday evening meeting, monthly concert, Sabbath school, long sermons, and daily exhortations, his heart is hardened to a degree unknown to the heathen. Naturally he chooses associates whose feeling and practices are in union with his own."

He Ma‘i no ‘Iolani[edit]

There is no mention of the King's "birth chant". I know it is not necessary, and it is barely documented, but I thought it would be an interesting thing to add. There is only one credible source I could find on it:https://kaiwakiloumoku.ksbe.edu/article/mele-he-mai-no-iolani. Enzoya (talk) 02:39, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
