Created by KAVEBEAR (talk). Self-nominated at 11:13, 19 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Nāmākēhā; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Helpful addition to Wikipedia's coverage of Hawaiian history. Article is new enough (expanded 5x from a redirect on 19 August and submitted the same day) and long enough (1696 characters). Has inline citations with combination of both 19th and 20th-century sources; spot check suggests the prose in the article is quite different to the sources cited, and Earwig also finds very little similarity with sources. Written neutrally, though at the moment it focuses a lot on the rebellion against Kamehameha and could be expanded further to cover other parts of Nāmākēhā's life (the index of the Kamakau book suggests there is more info available such as his past history as a chief on Lanai). QPQ was done in 2020! Hook checks out, is interesting, and is backed up by multiple sources which are cited in the article. Would advise you follow this nomination closely as I wonder if proofreading gnomes will try to uncapitalize the "K" in "the Hawaiian King Kamehameha" or try to delete the "the" or something.

Might be worth explaining that there are two interpretations of his name in an end note within the article itself. Cielquiparle (talk) 03:59, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Head taboo

The description of the kapu on his head is contradictory. First it says that his head could be exposed to the sun only at dawn. Then it says that from sunrise to sunset he had to position his head to the sun. If the first statement is true, what he had to do was hide his head from the sun. Which is it?Bill (talk) 03:20, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
