[edit] History
For some reason the "first discovery by Europeans" sentence under history gets added, changed to erroneous facts, then deleted. I did the last delete until it can be confirmed how Capt. Clerke (not Clark!) was both off Lanai (as stated here) and in Kealakekua Bay on February 11 through February 14 (when Capt. Cook was killed). Marshman 18:33, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I deleted what to me appear to be advertisements. If somebody thinks it should be put back, please do so:
- I agree this is not the right place. Appears to me just to be a tourists attempt at describing what he enjoyed. I will move to Tourism in Hawaii#Lanai, and can be edited, improved, or replaced as better stuff comes in Marshman
[edit] Lanai
Is "Lanai" not also a term for a covered porch or patio?
- Googling yields mixed results as to the macron and okina in lanai for porch, so I can't say for certain how it should be written and pronounced, but in my experience without the okina & pronounced as two syllables is the porch, and with the okina & pronounced as three syllables is the island. I'm gonna add a DAB at the top of the page, since Googling for the island [1] [2] yields about 120,000 hits, whereas the other meaning gets 500,000+ [3]. -- Severinus 05:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

- Lāna'i is the island, lānai is the porch/verandah/patio. Zora 09:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 64.75.209.2's edits, from February 4, 2006
64.75.209.2 made sixteen edits to this article on February 4 (his additions that day: [4]), and a lot of them seemed to be of substance, wikifying and adding content, and at first glance do seem to be original (no phrases hit on Google). I think CambridgeBayWeather was thrown off by 64.75.209.2's one weird edit on February 5th [5], which was a formatting edit understandable for a user unfamiliar with wikipedia. However, 64.75.209.2 had a few bad edits, changing 'Lānaʻi' to 'Lanai' and replacing old population estimates with less precise modern ones. I'm boldly reverting to 64.75.209.2's last edit on February 4 and adding {{cleanup}}. Feel free to discuss further.
[edit] Lemurians?
Where does this information about Lemurians being from Lanai come from? This wikipedia article is the only place I've seen mention Lanai as their origin.
- It sounds completely bogus, but I'm assuming good faith for the moment. I've asked Zora to take a look, too. —Viriditas | Talk 10:59, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

- It is completely bogus. I reverted to an older version. Lemuria is right up there with tinfoil hats and Erik von Daniken. Zora 11:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
