Some info in the article is obviously incorrect. As UNESCO pointed out, the world's "most massive" volcano (what is this?) and the most active volcanoes are found in Kamchatka. -- Ghirlandajo 07:40, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
"The caldera was the site of nearly continuous activity during the 19th century and the early part of this century. Since 1952 there have been 34 eruptions, and since January 1983 eruptive activity has been continuous along the east rift zone. All told, Kilauea ranks among the world's most active volcanoes and may even top the list." [1].
"Rising gradually to more than 4 km above sea level, Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on our planet. Its long submarine flanks descend to the sea floor an additional 5 km, and the sea floor in turn is depressed by Mauna Loa's great mass another 8 km. This makes the volcano's summit about 17 km (56,000 ft) above its base! The enormous volcano covers half of the Island of Hawai`i and by itself amounts to about 85 percent of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined." [2]
Almost all of the text here is cribbed directly from [3]. Granted, as a government site the information is in the public domain, but can't we do better than that? A mention of the Mark Twain house would be nice. — Wrathchild ( talk) 20:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
What's the Mark Twain house? I have volunteered in the Park and know of no structure by that name. HawaiiOne ( talk) 07:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps "Mark Twain House" might mean the fact that he (and other notables) stayed in the Volcano House which I did an article on a few months ago? But agreed, this article needs work on wording, and expansion. W Nowicki ( talk) 23:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Removed the following:
Needs a valid WP:RS source and chopping of weasel It is said... bit. The Chicken Soup book given as partial ref via a google search doesn't cut it. Vsmith ( talk) 00:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Actually Russ Apple might be notable enough to merit his own bio article some day. He wrote many articles on history of the area, and got the NRHP listings approved, for example. W Nowicki ( talk) 23:31, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
you people shold write what you guys do .. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.74.209 ( talk) 22:22, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
This is not helpful. Please do not keep adding the US Locator Blank image to Hawaii articles. Viriditas ( talk) 05:01, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
The introduction is a bit confusing. The Hawaiian National Park Language Correction Act of 2000, which was written to officially insert the okina into the spelling, did not actually pass. If officially the name does not contain the okina, then why does the NPS web site contain it? My assumption is that some other action took place that put the okina in. That being the case, why do we mention that the bill failed to pass when the name clearly contains the okina? — howcheng { chat} 05:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
