You managed to turn it into something worthwhile. It just seemed like total nonsense when I first read. Well done! Agentsoo 10:05, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Da kine
Hi, I just wrote an article on da kine and was wondering if you would like to help out with it. Specifically, it could use some good usage examples, but an overall peer edit would be welcome as well. Thanks. CyborgTosser (Only half the battle) 07:34, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed that you have done some really good work on the Walt Disney World Attractions pages. I am always looking for people who are passionate about Disney. If you get a chance, check out my pet project, the Walt Disney World College Program page and see if you can help clean it up a bit. Shifter55 06:09, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Rowlett
I'm quite sure that the terms mentioned on Rowlett are NOT the only terms that Wikipedia mentions that are unlikely to be in common use at any time in the near future. I remember seeing something about Wikipedia having articles on proposed gender-neutral pronouns for English that are unlikely to become common. How come these pronouns deserve a Wikipedia article but Rowlett's numbering system does not?? Georgia guy 22:28, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Response to what you wrote on my talk page:

A few web dictionaries do mention "gillion". Try to name a few Afd's in the past that Rowlett's Afd is similar to. Georgia guy 23:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Wahine Volleyball
How about this?





Check out these old logos, should I add them to the Wahine Volleyball article?

False?
I didn't have time to get the sources written in but..

Founded in 1975 by Dave Shoji. I never found one shred of evidence of your Alan! Who is this Alan Kang? As far as I heard from the media it's Dave Shoji's program. Source KHNL. Where are your sources for this Alan Kang? Who was on the original team that will prove Alan Kang was a head coach?

This volleyball	 program competes in the NCAA Division One series. True. http://www.volleyball.org/ncaa/ncaa_02w.html

The program was run out of Klum Gym from 1975 to 1994. True. http://www.uhathletics.hawaii.edu/coach_bio.html?pid=12&coachid=35

This team has play all over the United States, and plays international volleyball exchange programs with Samorodok Russia, Nittaidai of Japan. definitely TRUE.

http://starbulletin.com/2004/03/18/sports/story5.html http://starbulletin.com/2002/09/18/sports/story2.html

This team has produce several internation professional and olympic players. TRUE what do you call Bown then?

http://starbulletin.com/2000/09/27/sports/story1.html

I feel your edits take away from the truth and scope to which the Wahine have effected the sport. --Masssiveego 05:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)--Masssiveego 05:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I stand corrected, my apologies about the former coach Alan Kang, I don't think I can edit the article anymore due to the final "vandalism" warning, by Zoe given that I inserted bad information into article. Well I guess wikipedia admin is coming down hard. Thank you for your work, time and patience. --Masssiveego 07:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

In the talk page of Wahine Volleyball, stated earlier.. "Actually, I'm not sure what most of the paragraph on discipline adds to the article, since most of what it says applies to any team, in any sport."

I was given in my opinion am impression half the team left because of disciplinary disagreements. Unfortunately the articles needed to back that statement up were erased a few years ago. I think, it's possible that Shoji couldn't have cared less if one player, or half the team left, it's his way or the highway. Shoji has few rules, but the rules he has shows what kind of internal tension and rigid management style the team uses. The news media for the most part can't see the kind of behind the scenes drama that goes on. The player in questions could have stayed, and started work on a masters degree, but instead choose to leave.

A contrast when a team was run under a former punahou graduate in California, the team was run no punishment for arriving late, easy going informal atmosphere. Verses the Wahine Volleyball, punctual, rigid schedueling. To remove the disclipnary standpoint would leave the person who has never met the team, unknowing how was the team managed, why did they manage that way.

In a way it's like comparing the Greeks to the Spartans. Shoji being like the spartans. A minimalist strong disclipined approach toward volleyball. To not talk about Spartans ideals toward discipline would miss the entire idea of the culture of Spartans. --Masssiveego 09:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Quoting from earlier "Would you mind if I moved your comments from my talk page to the article talk page? This sort of discussion really needs to be archived with the article. ManoaChild 10:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately I can't back the above arguement up that Shoji lost 5 players that year because of the way the team was run. I can't get my hands on Lily to get her talk to me about why she took a year off from volleyball, I'm kind of banned from editing the Wahine Volleyball article by Zoe, as in any more additions would be seen as "vandalism" despite my best rewording. So I would suggest against moving the arguements to the Wahine page as it would appear as if I was editing it. Zoe gave me a final vandalism warning, so I don't think it's a good idea. My apologizes. --Masssiveego 01:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

"I removed the following half paragraph. Na Wahine generally have the full compliment of scholarship players. As I recall that the current NCAA limit is 13 (was 12 for many years). So, in general, most of the players will be scholarship players."

18 players. 13 scholarships, equals 5 players pay UH for a stressful season. That can causes problem in selecting atheletes. --Masssiveego 05:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Quoting "5 players out of 18 is not "most". "

Let me get back to you on that one. I'm not entirely sure how the scholarship program works now, and need to look it up. I agree however that you are correct.--Masssiveego 06:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay I have it now, it's the men's volleyball team that has the limitation, okay I heard wrong, you are correct. --Masssiveego 10:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

game face.
the article sourced had.. "This team has taken a WHAT-ME-WORRY approach. The Wahine come out with what Sudduth describes as a "team GAME FACE" whether they’re playing a ranked team or a WAC team, in Honolulu or Houston."

"The Rainbow Wahine put on their WAC-GAME FACE last night and treated Houston like a conference foe, winning with ease and smiling most of the match. The last game was tied at 7, which was the closest the Cougars came."

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2002/Sep/21/sp/sp03a.html

Examples of game face [] Susie Boogaard. "The Hammer"

[] Alicia Arnott and Kari Gregory. "What me worry?"

Charlie Wade
Charle Wade just resigned from the Wahine volleyball team.

I think the article could be adjusted.

The new assistant coach has been selected quoting from UH Athletics Website

"Mike Sealy has been hired as associate coach for the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team, University of Hawai'i Athletics Director Herman Frazier announced today. Sealy, 35, replaces Charlie Wade who accepted the head coaching job for the University of the Pacific women's volleyball team last month.

Sealy has spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach for the UCLA men's volleyball team, and doubled as an assistant with the women's volleyball team in 2005. The former All-American setter led the Bruins to the 1993 NCAA Championship and was named co-Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament. Before his stint at UCLA, Sealy served as an assistant men's volleyball coach at Cal State Northridge for one season."

The graduate of Santa Monica High School earned a bachelor's degree in Physiological Science from UCLA in 1993 before enjoying a professional volleyball career in Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, and Puerto Rico.

Sealy's primary responsibilities will include recruiting, scouting, training and video operations."

06 season
The new season with the Wahine, they seem to have lost a possible recruit to UCLA. Setter and Floor Captain Kanoe Kaman'o, center Juliana Sanders, Jessica Keefe, center Kari Gregory, and Tara Hittle have returned. Is it possible to write in any other athletes into the encyclopedia? Masssiveego 05:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

More interesting news, they have tried to sign up Amanda Simmons from Des Plaines, IL, an Elk Grove HS student, birthday 12/30/1988. Liz Ka'aihue from Punahou is also committed. Careena Onosai is going to UCLA.

http://starbulletin.com/2006/04/16/sports/story04.html

Wahine beat the Wisconsin badgers in an exhibition game with the score of 30-19, 30-23, 30-24, 30-32 and 11-15. The score being they played regardless who won. It's just odd Kelly Ong didn't make it to that game. Woolford and Blood played in this game.

Shoji is opening up his volleyball summer dorm camps to high school students again, and Victoria Prince got to be a guest instructor to the Hawai'i Speed and Quickness clinic, as well as getting national attention from CSTV Collegiate Nationals Beach Volleyball Championships at Reno, Nev. Prince lost in the semifinals. I might have to write another page about center Victoria Marie Prince. --Masssiveego 07:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Cayleen Thurlby did her second University of Hawaii's Relay for Life fundraiser, was held overnight from 7 p.m. March 3rd to 7 a.m. March 4th. Thurlby raised a thousand dollars for research. The team raised four thousand four dollars out of ten thousand. While this may affect a large number of people, do you think this is wikipedia worthy? --Masssiveego 06:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Test Track
Thanks for writing. I called the resort itself and asked an employee which is the most popular ride. She said Test Track was the most popular ride along with Soarin'. Every webpage and book that I've looked at indicated the longest lines are for Test Track and to always head their first. There are only three thrill rides at Epcot according to Wikipedia's own article, so it shouldln't be hard to figure out the most popular ride. Since most sources, including DK publishing, which I trust more than our encyclopedia, indicate Test Track is the most popular ride (I don't know what the most popular attraction in the park is) I will put back the info including Soarin', although I have never read anything about lines for that ride being as long as Test Track - thanks for helping me verify this. I'll word it in such a way that it leaves some room open. According the EPCOT's website, the ride is currently closed - as of 1/11/06.

Hawaii edit-a-thon!
Hello. I'm interested in attempting to put together an edit-a-thon for Hawaiian cultural topics something during the Makahiki festival perhaps around the month of November. The hope is that our lackluster coverage of Hawaiian mythology could be improved with help from the Bishop Museum, Hawaii Pacific University, and the Honolulu public library. I am in the process of making initial contacts with these organizations as well as Wikimedia DC's GLAM project. If this sounds like something you might be interested in participating in, or perhaps helping to coordinate, could you please add your name to 2014 Makahiki Edit-a-thon?--v/r - TP 21:22, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Looking for editors to help with an Asian Pacific American edit-a-thon in Honolulu
Aloha!

Last summer I moved to the Seattle area after 14 years in Kailua on Oahu. I immediately fell in with the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group as it formed, joined its board and became its first president as well as the GLAM representative for Washington State.

Recently, Adriel Luis, Curator (Digital & Emerging Media) at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, contacted me about setting up an edit-a-thon like the previous Wikipedia APA edit-a-thon. In addition to discussing one for Seattle, he wrote:

It's awesome to learn about your past in Honolulu - I'm actually going to be there for another SmithsonianAPA project mid September, and thinking that this could be an opportunity to do an event there as well! I have lots of contacts with UH and the museums, but do you know of any contacts on the Wikimedia side out there?

As I was working two jobs while I lived on Oahu, I did not have the opportunity to meet your or any other Wikipedians at the time. Hence, the reason why I am contacting you now.

If you would like to help, please contact me through one of these methods:
 * Email me directly at [mailto:peaceray@cascadia.wiki peaceray@cascadia.wiki]
 * Use Special:EmailUser/Peaceray to email me
 * Leave a message for me on my talk page.
