Sorry I didn’t get back to the John Edward Bush article I see you made big progress, I found he was in the National Reform party (with Robert Wilcox) and broke away, forming the Liberal Party. I also suspect he may have been in the National party before that, but didn’t do much digging to confirm it. I found while doing the C.B. Wilson article in the book Johnny Wilson: first Hawaiian Democrat (I attempted to find it in the library but failed) Bush was a speaker at the local Democratic convention in 1900 (I assumed he joined the Democratic Party), but I ran across a quote form Hawaii Ponoi calling him a “Home Ruler”.
I won’t alter that article, I will leave this to your discretion.

I reverted your excision of marriage of James Joseph Patterson and Barbara McMartin. I am working on references. History amateur ( talk) 13:24, 21 December 2010 (UTC) The references I've found so far are mostly on the Barbara McMartin side, during the years she went by the name Barbara M. Patterson. History amateur ( talk) 13:31, 21 December 2010 (UTC) Here's one external reference documenting the use by Barbara McMartin of the name Barbara M. Patterson: http://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=35566. She appears to have used that name from the time of her marriage to James Joseph Patterson until their divorce. There are Westchester County government records on their joint property ownership and their divorce whilst they resided in the town of Croton-On-Hudson, New York History amateur ( talk) 13:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC).
You just excised Barbara McMartin again. I cited the divorce in the Westchester County records. Much of the public documentation of their marriage is copyrighted by the New York Daily News in the form of photographs (of which I have copies). It should be sufficient to document their divorce and I have done so. Please stop excising of their marriage and divorce. Thanks! History amateur ( talk) 21:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
You are correct, Barbara McMartin first married someone named Long, then divorced Long and married James Joseph Patterson (in Mexico), then divorced Patterson (in Westchester County, NY) and, finally married W. A. Reid (again, in Westchester County, NY). Meanwhile, Patterson remarried Clarke. Patterson was indeed excommunicated from the church for his marriage to McMartin. The divorce of McMartin and Patterson is in the public records in White Plains. I have cited same. It is not a matter of belief. Obituaries are generally based on content provided by the survivors, in this case Clarke. So it was quite reasonable for no mention to be made of the marriage to McMartin. You too can see the divorce decree History amateur ( talk) 22:22, 21 December 2010 (UTC). If the divorce decree is not properly sourced, I welcome your suggestions.
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I would be tempted to include the dissertation advisor listed in http://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=35566 (Joan Dyer) but, as far as I know, that citation contains incorrect information. Dyer was the chair of the examining committee, but not, I believe, her advisor. I believe, but can not be sure, that her advisor was either Alex Heller, Wilhelm Magnus, or Gilbert Baumslag. McMartin specifically acknowledges Baumslag and Magnus on the mathematics in her dissertation. Separately, I have received photographs of McMartin and Patterson (which I have permission to use) that I could upload, however the technical quality is poor. I'm not sure it is worth the trouble. The better photographs are all Daily News copyright, and, thus, unusable. Again, thanks for your assistance! History amateur ( talk) 23:51, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't see any discussion over at Talk:Big Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Viriditas ( talk) 03:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Reasoning was stated back in October. If you want chapter and verse, I would say WP:COMMONNAME. The article was misleading, making it sound like there are two separate entities, while most of the FSW documents call it two units of Hakalau. My guess is that someone had delusions of grandeur and thought that a second refuge in a "complex" would sound better, but the money never got appropriated so the Kona land is effectively just a "unit". If you would have looked at the history, you would have seen that I first proposed merging into the "complex" direction until looking at the documents more carefully.
Please don't take this wrong; it is meant to be constructive. But keeping quiet for four months after the proposal, waiting until the proposal was done, and then quicking over-ruling it, is not the best way to encourage collaboration. If you really had such strong thoughts about it, contributing to the discussion then would have prevented wasted effort and frustration. It would have shown respect for other editors time instead of ownership. No wonder contributors get scared away. Life is too short. W Nowicki ( talk) 19:27, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I think you should just focus on House of Kalokuokamaile when you are talking about that family and House of Kamehameha when you're talking about House of Kamehameha. Good luck.-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 01:03, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

I reverted your excision of marriage of James Joseph Patterson and Barbara McMartin. I am working on references. History amateur ( talk) 13:24, 21 December 2010 (UTC) The references I've found so far are mostly on the Barbara McMartin side, during the years she went by the name Barbara M. Patterson. History amateur ( talk) 13:31, 21 December 2010 (UTC) Here's one external reference documenting the use by Barbara McMartin of the name Barbara M. Patterson: http://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=35566. She appears to have used that name from the time of her marriage to James Joseph Patterson until their divorce. There are Westchester County government records on their joint property ownership and their divorce whilst they resided in the town of Croton-On-Hudson, New York History amateur ( talk) 13:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC).
You just excised Barbara McMartin again. I cited the divorce in the Westchester County records. Much of the public documentation of their marriage is copyrighted by the New York Daily News in the form of photographs (of which I have copies). It should be sufficient to document their divorce and I have done so. Please stop excising of their marriage and divorce. Thanks! History amateur ( talk) 21:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
You are correct, Barbara McMartin first married someone named Long, then divorced Long and married James Joseph Patterson (in Mexico), then divorced Patterson (in Westchester County, NY) and, finally married W. A. Reid (again, in Westchester County, NY). Meanwhile, Patterson remarried Clarke. Patterson was indeed excommunicated from the church for his marriage to McMartin. The divorce of McMartin and Patterson is in the public records in White Plains. I have cited same. It is not a matter of belief. Obituaries are generally based on content provided by the survivors, in this case Clarke. So it was quite reasonable for no mention to be made of the marriage to McMartin. You too can see the divorce decree History amateur ( talk) 22:22, 21 December 2010 (UTC). If the divorce decree is not properly sourced, I welcome your suggestions.
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I would be tempted to include the dissertation advisor listed in http://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=35566 (Joan Dyer) but, as far as I know, that citation contains incorrect information. Dyer was the chair of the examining committee, but not, I believe, her advisor. I believe, but can not be sure, that her advisor was either Alex Heller, Wilhelm Magnus, or Gilbert Baumslag. McMartin specifically acknowledges Baumslag and Magnus on the mathematics in her dissertation. Separately, I have received photographs of McMartin and Patterson (which I have permission to use) that I could upload, however the technical quality is poor. I'm not sure it is worth the trouble. The better photographs are all Daily News copyright, and, thus, unusable. Again, thanks for your assistance! History amateur ( talk) 23:51, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't see any discussion over at Talk:Big Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Viriditas ( talk) 03:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Reasoning was stated back in October. If you want chapter and verse, I would say WP:COMMONNAME. The article was misleading, making it sound like there are two separate entities, while most of the FSW documents call it two units of Hakalau. My guess is that someone had delusions of grandeur and thought that a second refuge in a "complex" would sound better, but the money never got appropriated so the Kona land is effectively just a "unit". If you would have looked at the history, you would have seen that I first proposed merging into the "complex" direction until looking at the documents more carefully.
Please don't take this wrong; it is meant to be constructive. But keeping quiet for four months after the proposal, waiting until the proposal was done, and then quicking over-ruling it, is not the best way to encourage collaboration. If you really had such strong thoughts about it, contributing to the discussion then would have prevented wasted effort and frustration. It would have shown respect for other editors time instead of ownership. No wonder contributors get scared away. Life is too short. W Nowicki ( talk) 19:27, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Aloha! Do you know anything about Kahakuhaʻakoi Wahinepio? I'm in the middle of creating an article for her and was wondering how long and when was she Governess of Maui? You say in Hoapili articles that his term started in May 1824, and if Keeaumoku's reign as govenor ended March 1824, then that doesn't leave her any room to be governess. Hiram Bingham said in page 313 of his A residence of twenty-one years in the Sandwich Islands that Hoapili was appointed by Kaahumanu to succeeded Wahinepio after her death in 1826. -- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 06:16, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Well OK, but an article without any sources could very well be deleted quickly. And of course the convention would be to put a space after the name and before the parens.

Do you know if Haalolu, the first husband of Sarai, wife of John Papa Īī and executed for adultery with one Kamehameha's queens; and Haalolu, governor of Molokai and father of Haalilio and Haalelea were the same person or not?
Also do you know anything about Daniel Papa Īī, brother of John Papa Īī, other than what Kamakau said about him; he seem to be a notable figure being involved in the forming of the legal system of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

If you ever finish the Biddle family connections, perhaps the prominent Philadelphia Clymer family is also worthy of your attention.
