Aloha, Niceley, a e komo mai i ka Wikipikia i ka ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i, ka puke noi‘i kū‘ikena noa! Kalanimoku 20:03, 18 Nowemapa 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for helping with the project! I won't have much time today to help you with translations (15 min. to New Year's here), but here's a tip on creating geography articles - When you want to say "Moscow is the capital of Russia", you write:
‘O Mokekao ke kapikala o Lukia.
If you want to say "Germany is a country in Europe", you write:
He ‘āina ‘o Kelemānia ma ‘Eulopa.
If you don't know already, here is a Hawaiian-English online dictionary, which should aide you in translating the English names of countries or cities into Hawaiian. Happy editing, and have a wonderful 2008! Kalanimoku 09:53, 1 Ianuali 2008 (UTC)Reply

Could you translate the names of Spanish Autonomous Communities onto Hawaian, please? --Kamehameha 19:02, 14 Malaki 2008 (UTC)Reply

No. I'm sorry. I don't understand Hawaiian. Do you know who I can contact to be an administrator on this wikipedia? Niceley 21:04, 14. Malaki 2008 (UTC)
I think you have to talk with Kalanimoku. --Kamehameha 19:03, 16 Malaki 2008 (UTC)Reply

To begin, I'm probably not the guy you'd ask if you wanted to be an admin (only bureaucrats or stewards can hand out admin rights, and I'm not either :) ). Anyway, please remember that you don't have to be an admin to make great contributions. Admins aren't really needed here right now, as the community is still small and the encyclopedia is still in its early stages. What we need most right now is more in-depth articles in Hawaiian (unfortunately, most of the WP community doesn't speak/write the language, and I don't know a lot). Still, if you want to be a temporary admin (permanent admins have to be elected by the community) go here. If you speak Hawaiian please help translate system messages here.
