Talk:Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Tony Hawak
Should it be mentioned that Kona is a skating level in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4? dogman15 03:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * If important to you, please add to the Kona disambiguation page, not here. Right?

Population
The population stated in this article may be grossly under-estimated
 * yes, the population has gone up since 2000, but it is clearly stated that the numbers are from 2000. Newer ones of course in 2010!

Revealed guide
There is a new 5th edition of the "Revealed" book, ISBN 978-0981461007 it is a good book, changes are probably minor. The Atlas of Hawaii has more climate info that I can add.

I wonder what the "Lihue" here refers to? Perhaps just cut and paste from a ref on Kauai? Note the Lihue, Hawaii article does not use the "Revealed" ref?

 * It's publication data: by this you can know that the book is published by a company from Lihue named Wizard Press (or Wizard Printing, or Wizard Corporation, etc.). It has nothing to do with the information being sourced.  Nyttend (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup
This Article is mess

There are two cities

1.) Kailua-Kona 2.) Kailua

This Article have some from both of that cities —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vradovic (talk • contribs) 23:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you be more specific? This article is about the Kailua in Hawaii County, as given in its title and first paragraph. For the one in Honolulu county, follow the link at the top of the page in what we call the "hat note". Generally the "CDP" articles in Hawaii are not being maintained because the old spelling without diacritics causes too many useless changes. We hope the 2010 data will be out soon enough to help.

Notable residents

 * B.J. Penn, Ultimate Fighting Championshipformer lightweight champion

I removed the above since sources say he was born in either the other Kailua in Honolulu county, or else Hilo (where he seems to live now). If someone has a source for being born in this Kailua (doubtful since it is mostly a tourist and commercial town) then please add the souce. W Nowicki (talk) 21:25, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii → Kailua-Kona – Kailua-Kona does not seem to be ambiguous. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:13, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:USPLACE. - Station1 (talk) 20:43, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose. A populated place in the US state of Hawaii falls under WP:USPLACE. See also Perennial proposals for a brief summary of why titles of articles about unambiguously-named US places still include the state. Zzyzx11 (talk) 09:19, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * As I've said in previous cases I think its arguably a good idea but USPLACE says its common usage.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 09:41, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
