G2G w/ALT1 Timely; well long enough (both over 5k elig. chars.); earwig finds minimal copyvio; bloggers at the DailyKos are not in any sense a reliable source—and the cite itself seems needless except as a URL to let people see the West Hawaii Today article—but otherwise well done and well cited; the king's portrait is the better picture at small resolution; it's a bit specious to claim death on an anonymous piece of art but, even taking "mid-19th century" as 1874 and assuming the artist was a teenager, they would've had to live past 80 for copyright to still hold so it should be fine; QPQs very well done; the hooks have the same topic and the phrasing on ALT1 is better.

Mr/Ms Bear, 1st, thank you for your work on so many articles on the Hawaiians. 2nd, I removed the extra links in the hooks since the upshot is they're just going to steal clicks and eyeballs from the articles you worked on, but you're more than welcome to restore them if you like. — Llywelyn II   11:51, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It's Mr. for future reference. But thanks. I am going to return a cropped image of the palace just in case that it may be better to others looking at this before July 31 since the palace is one the articles being promoted.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:05, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
