Thank you for identifying award recipients
Just saw that you had a couple notices for award categories and I wanted to thank you for grouping the award recipients together. Since the WP:OCAWARD editing guideline was tightened, I've been working to move this information into the article space. Before nominating award categories, I always copy the contents into a list within the main article so no work is lost.

If my CFD notices ever are cluttering your talk page, just let me know and I'll start omitting them. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:43, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

If you're interested: Flora Kaai Hayes
Hi Kavebear! I really admire your work in the Hawaii topic area. I recently created articles about several women in Hawaii history, most of them legislators in the Territory of Hawaii, and right now I'm especially interested in tightening up the prose and content of Flora Kaai Hayes (and maybe taking it to GA). I've had particular trouble pinning down the exact years she was in office, as you can see on the talk page. Anyway, if you're interested in doing some work on the article about Hayes or any of the others (Mary Kapuahualani Robinson, Esther K. Richardson, Dee Duponte, Annie Kanahele, Thelma Akana Harrison), it'd be a lot of fun to collaborate with you, and I'd be grateful. Same goes for anyone watching this talk page. Hope you're well, and thanks! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 01:26, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

User:KAVEBEAR/GRfp
Hello, KAVEBEAR,

Over the past two hours, you have created this page and then minutes later requested that it be deleted THREE times. Why are you doing this? This is a waste of time for our admins. If you don't expect to be using a page, then please don't create it. Or blank the page rather than asking for the page to be deletion. We have a lot of tasks to get to all of the time and these repetitive page deletions requests are kind of a waste of our time. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 07:41, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Harry Field in later life.pg


A tag has been placed on File:Harry Field in later life.pg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Keʻeaumoku II
I've been trying for weeks to try to find a source for the claim that George Cox Kahekili Keʻeaumoku II had the name "George Cox" tattooed on his arm. Any chance you can help me find the source, or connect me to the user who wrote that part of the entry on George Cox Kahekili Keʻeaumoku II?
 * I cannot find a source either so I removed it for now. It may have been a mix up with another chief who tattooed Kamehameha’s death date on his arm and Keʻeaumoku II was pictured with the same chief in a drawing by Jacques Arago. KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:29, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Johnny Noble.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Johnny Noble.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — holly  {chat} 22:53, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Kalākaua's 1881 world tour
This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 13 June 2022 (second appearance). Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Today's featured article/June 2022, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/June 2022. I suggest that you watchlist Main Page/Errors from two days before it appears on the Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work!—Wehwalt (talk) 16:07, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I am not sure where to make a suggestion on this. But to make it different from the first appearance and in the spirit of wokeness/cultural sensititivity (2017 was a different time), can we swap out the image for File:Kalakaua in Japan (1881, detail).jpg or File:Kalakaua, reprinted by E. Linde (ca. 1881).jpg. KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:31, 3 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm OK with the image swap. Of the two mentioned above, I think the Kalakaua in Japan (1881, detail) would be the best. — Maile  (talk) 18:59, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I put the one of the king alone for now. My opinion is the other makes everything a little small, but if you want it, then switch it.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:36, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did a test myself. The image with the aides and officials doesn't look good at that small size.  Better the other one. — Maile  (talk) 20:48, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:13, 27 February 2022 (UTC) Thank you today for Kalākaua's 1881 world tour, introduced: "The world tour was an effort by Hawaii's last king to save the dwindling Hawaiian race by supplementing the population with imported labor from similar cultures. One nation at a time, he brought Hawaii to the world's attention. Kalākaua was successful in jump-starting new immigration. He was a consummate tourist and an impressionable royal who returned home and tried to recreate the splendor of European monarchies in Hawaii. Kalākaua had no security guards to protect him, yet his safety was never in jeopardy, even though he chose public transport on ships and railways to circumnavigate the globe. It was just Kalākaua, a couple of friends, his cook, and here and there an extra person or two. One can only wonder how many days they all slept to recover from 281 days of non-stop globe trotting.! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

About Queen Kapau - redirect to Kapau-a-Nuʻakea now deleted
Hi KAVEBEAR,

I have deleted the WP:REDIRECT to Kapau-a-Nuʻakea you created back in in 2008.

The rationale for the deletion was, broadly speaking, the term "queen" had never been used in reliable sources about her.

I would seek your opinion about this.

Hi, I have been working on the above article. Can you cast your mind back to 2014? I am looking at the third ref from the Congressional Serial Set that you added. It appears to only be a partial reference. By any chance can you remember either the rest of the reference or where you sourced it from? Skullcinema (talk) 14:04, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
