Talk:Lānaʻi

Larry Ellison

I've just completed some perhaps-controversial edits regarding Ellison's intentions with his holdings on the island. Despite the media blitz around his 'sustainable eco-lab' intentions, I can't find any sources since the time of his purchase to indicate anything at all has been done towards this goal aside from some hydroponic farms that were announced this year; and even that seems to be nothing more than a press release at this point. If someone is more informed and can provide sources for any efforts I missed, please do update. Walkersam (talk) 16:47, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Inappropriate page move

This page appears to have been moved without any discussion occurring on the talk page. The USGS designation is Lānaʻi, the editor who moved the article cites WP:COMMONNAME and WP:ENGLISH. Well, as a part-time resident of Hawaiʻi, I can tell you that Lānaʻi is the common name in use on the Islands. The island is part of the County of Maui, but has its own Chamber of Commerce, the Lānaʻi Chamber of Commerce, which as you can see uses the correct spelling of the island's name. The inclusion of the ʻokina is common usage on the Islands, on street signs and Government buildings. The removal of the ʻokina is incorrect and is part of a pattern of indigenous suppression which it is inappropriate to continue on Wikipedia, especially at this time. The ʻokina is used throughout Wikipedia on articles related to the Hawaiʻian Islands, and it should not be removed from either the body or titles of articles.

Note: I have restored the original name Lanai and protected the page. This should not be moved without a formal RM discussion and a clear consensus. -- MelanieN (talk) 18:03, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

No traffic lights?

I can find lots of articles / blog posts with the same claim that there's no traffic lights, but I suspect most of them are citogenesis / AI generated.

. Does anyone know if these are actually reliable sources, and I'm just being paranoid. Or, if not, does anyone have an RS? Timtjtim (talk) 00:27, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
