GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   *Marriage section sentence is confusing. "The Pratts also later adopted Alexander and Theresa's younger daughter Eva Kuwailanimamao Cartwright. who married Dwight Styne and had descendants." Can you please clarify "and had descendants." Is it relevant that we know who those descendants are, or did they just continue the royal line? — Maile (talk) 21:15, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

   It’s not relevant who they are in this context. I changed it to three children to be more specific and fixed the obvious punctuation error, but they did continue the royal line like their Wilcox cousins, but I feel that is further addressed in the descendants section already. The paragraph about the two hanai children was originally located in the last section but I thought naming Theresa and Eva earlier in the article was needed before the descendants section since they are brought up during the sections preceding the descendant section. I don’t think naming the three children will provide any further context except if they possibly lived with Kekaaniau during the last years of her life.KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:17, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

   *First paragraph under "Descendants and legacy" needs editing. It consists of two extremely long run-on sentences with no punctuation except a period at the end. First sentence could be broken up into multiple sentences. Second sentence just needs commas. — Maile (talk) 22:52, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

   Changed a bit. Does that addresss the problem? KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:17, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

   B It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

2. Is it verifiable with no original research?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

   Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows no issues of concerns. Spot check with WMFLabs Duplication Detector brings up nothing.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

   "Kekaʻaniau was considered of the one of the beautiful ladies of the royal court during this period." needs to come out. Just repeating the newspaper headline, which in itself was POV. They didn't win a beauty contest. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder, very subjective. — Maile (talk) 13:57, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

   I tweaked it. The source is just used to show her participation in the youthful court of Kamehameha IV and V as a court lady similar to Liliuokalani around this period of time. KAVEBEAR (talk) 14:07, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

   Much better. — Maile (talk) 14:16, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   Images (1) Infobox image: Ambrotype of Elizabeth Kekaaniau, c. 1859, public domain; (2) Bust of Kamehameha II c. 1824 public domain; (3) Oahu Cemetery tombstone, added to Commons 2013 and released into the public domain by the photographer.

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   • Question (has no bearing the passing of this GA nom). Since it was Akaiko Akana who conducted the funeral services, in the very Hawaiian Kawaihao Church, it would be interesting before you take this to FA, if there is a record of the services being in the Hawaiian language. — Maile (talk) 22:11, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

   1. I checked the newspaper account by Reed and the book by Kam. Both sources do not describe the language of the litany in the church but mention the “burial service” was in Hawaiian. KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:24, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

   Pass or Fail:

   Everything looks good. — Maile (talk) 14:11, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
