This is closely modelled on similar Featured Lists. It is useful (pulls together information not otherwise available in one place), comprehensive (includes all current counties), factually accurate (with references), stable (assumeing Hawaii doesn't change the county boundries), uncontroversial (no disputes) and well-constructed (clearly laid out); the lead gives background information, and the headings and TOC are appropriate; and images are all the quick-loading SVG versions.

If possible, could the okinas ( ʻ using {{okina}} ) be added where necessary? Mahalo. --Ali'i 21:17, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Since the Origin is the same for all of them, perhaps that column could be removed and a statement to that effect be included in the intro? A mention of Kalawao's status as a leper colony could also be moved to the intro. Perhaps also noting the extremes would be good - how Honolulu County is technically the longest in the world, and how Kalawao County is the smallest by land area (though not by total area), and how it's the second smallest county. I could do this myself, but I wanted to propose the removal of the Origin column first. --Golbez 21:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I propose to remove the creation dates, too. They all were created in 1905. --Crzycheetah 00:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I've removed the origin and history columns, and put the info in the lead instead. Tompw (talk) (review) 19:44, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I'd like references for the "etymology" section, even though they're kind of self-explanatory.--Crzycheetah 05:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. --Golbez 21:12, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, I don't see any glaring problems. Wizardman 17:03, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
