1. "The Hawaiian natives of that time, named Kahuna William, “Kahuna Ha`ole Nui” (Great White Priest)"
- The folk etymology of the word haole coming from Ha`ole has been rejected here for some time. It contradicts the current article of haole on the Wikipedia. If you want to leave the comment that "the Hawaiian natives of the time, named Kahuna Wiliam, 'Kahuna Ha`ole Nui,'" you will have to (1) provide more sources that can back up your statement that they called him this, and you must (2) mention in your article that the etymology of haole coming from ha`ole has been refuted, while stating that according to Huna's teachings the word is ha`ole, and then you must immediately cite the exact sources of this information.
2. "Kahuna Nui Max's books on Huna brought many geniuses of the religious or supernatural to assist him in the development of the Huna theology"
- The use of the word "genius" represents an opinion. You should refrase it to say that according to whomever, these people were geniuses. Then you should cite the reference to back up what you said right after the sentence.
3. "Polynesian tongues do not distinguish proper nouns as English does."
- You must cite current linguistic resources to back this claim up. Like all claims made in articles in the Wikipedia, it can not stand uncited without being refuted.
