Talk:Waipio, Hawaii

Confusion regarding similar-sounding places
Hi there,

We had someone email in to us with the following:-

"The location 'Waipio' given, in this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waipio,_Hawaii is an error. The place name should read 'Waipahu.' Waipio is on the Windward side of the island of Hawai'i - not on O'ahu. Waipahu is on O'ahu."

I admit to being nothing close to an expert on Hawaiian geography, so I will defer to someone elses knowledge on this. If anyone who is interested could look into this and make any necessary changes, that'd be great.

 * Nope, not an error. There is a Waipio on Oahu, although some would say that it is within Waipahu.
 * There is even a Costco in Waipio: Find a Costco warehouse (search for Waipio, HI location)
 * It is common for a place name to appear on more than one island, such as Kailua, Honolulu County, Hawaii & Kailua, Hawaii County, Hawaii & Kailua, Maui County, Hawaii. One can find a number of the same town name on different islands in the List of places in Hawaii.
