Talk:Hawaiian crow

Untitled

I removed the following:

It has been supported that the name was given to the crow by the ancient Greeks that had visited the area, because of its distinctive cry. Alala for the ancient Greeks was a deity, daughter of Ares (Mars), God of war and she represented the ancient Greek warcry as mentioned by Pindarus.

How did the Greeks get to Hawaii? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bittercitrus (talk • contribs) 18:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Conservation status

Should I update that conservation status to CR? They just released 6 into the wild! I added that on and added a reference! You can find it in the article! Pancakes654 22:12, 27 September 2017 (UTC) Pancakes654 22:12, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

You most definitely should not, and if you still don't understand why, you really really should keep your fingers off all IUCN-related material: You don't get to guess, deduce, make up or pull out of various orifices any IUCN classifications - they are either officially assigned by the organization or we don't report them! - Apart from that (and based on my unreferenced recollection), in case of reintroductions a downgrade from EW status is only applied if a reproductive population is re-established, which cannot be demonstrated here for at least several years. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:56, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Inconsistencies in the spelling and capitalization of ‘alalā

1. I have added the macrons to the few cases that did not have them (‘alala > ‘alalā).
2. Some write okina with a template (ʻalalā), others write it by typing the symbol directly (‘alalā). Which one to choose?
3. In the entirety of the article, the word is not capitalized (‘alalā), but in the intro, it is (‘Alalā), even though it's not at the beginning of that sentence. Spanish and Italian Wikipedias have made the same choice... Why?--Adûnâi (talk) 14:52, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
