S. C. Allen edit
- Re this edit:

"On May 31, 1858, Allen received from Kamehameha V a commission to take possession of unclaimed Pacific islands for the Hawaiian Kingdom. The first claim was on Johnston Atoll on June 14, which Allen named Kalama after his ship. The atoll had been claimed under the U.S. Guano Islands Act the previous December, leading to disputes over the island's ownership." Did you mean Kamehameha IV whose reign was 1855-1863? Before Kam V ascended to the throne, he was just Prince Lot, I think. — Maile (talk) 23:52, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep, . I'll correct. Thanks! —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 00:04, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
