Adding three ALTs below. — Maile (talk) 14:14, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that Queen Emma of Hawaii called Edward Kamakau Lilikalani "a fu-fu"? Source:Kuykendall, Ralph Simpson (1967). The Hawaiian Kingdom 1874–1893, The Kalakaua Dynasty. Vol. 3. Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press. p. 195. ISBN 978-0-87022-433-1. OCLC 500374815. "Lilikalani is D. K.'s own mouthpiece in the Legislature, a fu-fu ..."

NOTE: ALT2, if approved, could probably be good as a quirky slot hook. — Maile (talk) 15:48, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

ALT3 ... that Edward Kamakau Lilikalani served on both Kalākaua's Privy Council of State and Liliʻuokalani's Privy Council of State?Source:"Edward K. Lilikalani – Royal Lineage Of Man Elected From 4th District". Evening Bulletin. Honolulu. November 10, 1904. p. 6. Retrieved February 17, 2020.

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline but I am only approving ALT1, as the other two hooks are not interesting to the general reader. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:23, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, and do not find ALT1 hooky at all. Most of the hooks read like resume points. I realize there's little to work with in the article, but maybe one really short point could be used as a hook? Pinging nominator and Maile. Yoninah (talk) 18:10, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Did a bit of editing to the article:

ALT4 ... that Edward Kamakau Lilikalani filed a petition with President Theodore Roosevelt, claiming to be the sole heir to the Crown lands of Hawaii, in spite of Queen Liliʻuokalani still being alive?
ALT5 ... that Edward Kamakau Lilikalani filed a petition with President Theodore Roosevelt, claiming to be, "the sole heir to the Kamehameha rights to the Crown lands" of Hawaii?

Note: Liliuokalani died in 1917, so that part of the hook shouldn't have to be sourced. It's unclear if this claim was filed at the end of 1904 when the newspaper published his genealogy, or the beginning of 1905 when he showed his claim papers to others.

Thank you, ALT5 is great! Cwmhiraeth, could you review ALT5? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:39, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

The easy way to find where this is stated in the source: Scroll down the page until on the right-hand side you see the heading "Ladies Auxiliary Elects Officials". Look to the column on the left, and the paragraph right below that point that begins, "The most important document ..." ends with the wording above that I put in quotes. — Maile (talk) 23:52, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Approving ALT5. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:14, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
