Is it really /huəˈlaːlei/ ? From the kahakō that might be the official original Hawaiian way, but we live nearby and it seems usually pronounced more like: /huˈaːlalai/ or /ˈhwaːlalai/. Although the differrence in the ending is subtle (rhymes with the English word "eye"), the stress is usually put on the first "a". My guess this is just an Anglicization, since I thought Hawaiian dipthongs stressed the first vowel and tended to reduce or eliminate the second one in rapid speach. I hate to "correct" the locals, however, without good authority. Mahalo, if someone knows more. W Nowicki ( talk)
One of them says "from Kukiʻi Beach" and I think you mean Kukiʻo instead. The onl Kukiʻi I can find is on the otherr side of the island. The view looks like it is from the northwest, which would be Kukiʻo. The page on the USGS site does not say, so I wonder if we should just say "from the northwest"? or "looking southeast"?

On a different but related note, there's a picture of a descent into a lava conduit. It's hard to understand--I think the camera is looking up towards somebody coming down. Also, if this is a conduit *up* through which lava came, that is pretty unusual--most lava caves are more or less horizontal tubes through which lava flowed on its way down a volcano. It would be nice to have something in the text expanding on this. Mcswell ( talk) 03:40, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
Let's discuss: I re-arranged the photos to remove the large whitespace left above the table. The one photo that I removed is available at Commons, at the new gallery.

Several anonymous editors have claimed the File:Hualalai from north.jpg picture is really mauna kea. I am not sure, since I cannot make out the observatories of Mauna Kea (although maybe you cannot see them from the north?). At any rate the usual view of Hualalai is from the coast shrouded in clouds. I have some of those I could upload, but they are not as dramatic. W Nowicki ( talk) 20:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC) .... Looks like the pictures used now are clearly the right mountain. W Nowicki ( talk) 22:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Actually the official GNIS name of the state Hawaii has no diacritic, but the island of Hawaiʻi does. As of now the article is not consistent, often omitting it when the island is intended. I will work on it. W Nowicki ( talk) 22:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Dsiclaimer: I have made a few edits to this article and lived there for a couple years, but not "contributed significantly" I would say. After a quick look there are several glaring errors that need to be fixed. The main pic caption: it is from the northwest, looking southeast. The vital date of the most notable resident. Not sure what "major museums" you mean? There is a dusy ship model in the church, but I have not even uploaded my pic of it since it looks unremarkable. And Huliheʻe has only three or four rooms, hardly "major". A few diacritics are missing. Some links need fixing (e.g. using historic articles if talking about history instead of modern CDPs). I might have time to fix some later today or tomorrow. 20:14, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Nicely written and informative article about a volcano i'd never heard of before.
Note that it is up to the first reviewer to decide whether the article should pass or fail, so this review must be considered a sort of extra comment or second opinion. I'll leave a note at the first reviewer's talk page to let them know about this review. -- Xover ( talk) 01:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
To follow up with Kaloko pic: when I was there I only made it to the southern part, never got to the fishpond myself. So the Kaloko pic is low resolution (I would say decent quality, if you could find a higher rez) right from a National Park web site. I see the other pic from the park in this article is File:Hualalai from Kalako.jpg which has a bad file name. It is not from Kaloko but from Honokōhau, as the caption says. It is also on English wikipedia instead of commons, so perhaps we should move it to commons with the right name and delete this one. The other pics on the park article (besides the fishpond one) were taken by me. The fishpond at Honokōhau has not been reconstructed so does not look as interesting. Maybe we could use one of those, or whatever, but generally the layout is fine with me. W Nowicki ( talk) 17:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I would prefer to recuse myself since I am a contributor and appologize if I did not follow exact proper procedure. I do not think there are objections, so what do we do next? W Nowicki ( talk) 17:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, please do that and I will try to follow to learn it. Do you have any opinion on using the coord template as I propose instead of the google maps in the references? It saves a click and allows one to use topo maps etc.
By the way, I took the liberty of trying to enhance the USGS pic from Honokohau to compensate for the vog and uploaded that to Commons. Now need to figure out how to delete the one on English wikipedia. Most of my shots of Hualalai are even voggier. Too bad— a couple times early in the mornings in the winter I could see the snow-covered summit of Mauna Loa just barely behind Hualalai, but did not have my camera and not sure it would have been visible on a picture anyway. W Nowicki ( talk) 18:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
The text attributes the 1859 eruption to Pu'u Wa'awa'a, "an offshoot of Hualalai." My copy of ref. 5, _Volcanoes in the Sea_ (although I have the second edition from the mid 1980s), is in another state, but I'm certain it attributes the 1859 eruption to a vent low down the northwest flank of Mauna Loa, not Hualalai. As I recall, it stated that this eruption's parentage was disputed in the past but that no one really doubts any longer that it was lava of Mauna Loa. Is there a more recent reference that claims the 1859 eruption for Hualalai again? Def-Mornahan ( talk) 19:36, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
There's definitely some confusion. HVO seems to say the most recent eruption was in 1801, neither a hundred thousand years ago, nor 1859. Here's their page: [3]. Hope this helps. Awien ( talk) 19:58, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
The article states that the trachyte in Puʻu Waʻawaʻa has "high (over 62%) silicon composition." This is certainly wrong. The trachyte is probably 62% silica. Silicon is element #14. Silica is silica dioxide, a chemical compound with chemical formula SiO2 -- a crucial difference. It's conventional to talk about the composition of igneous rocks on the basis of their various oxide components expressed as weight-percents. (The problem is compounded by linking to the article on silicon, the element, so that people can learn more about what the rocks aren't made of.) The article also states that "typical basalt is only 50% silicon," which is wrong for the same reason. 24.21.147.87 ( talk) 08:15, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
The lead says this volcano is dormant. However, it's in Category:Active volcanoes. Is it active or is it dormant? -- Auntof6 ( talk) 03:30, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
