I will be doing this review. — Maile (talk) 15:15, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   •  Comment: Queen of Hawaii section. "One of the first acts of the couple was to conduct a royal progress of the Hawaiian Islands." I am not familiar with what "royal progress" means here, and Kuykendall the source has it in quotes as a "royal progress". Do you think it might be a good idea to put it in quotes like the source? Is this a common term for whatever it was they did?

   • It is a common tour for royal historians Royal progress is linked to Royal entry.KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

   •  Comment: Medical philanthropy section. "The king and queen officiated at the dedication ceremony" Kalakaua is not mentioned by name anywhere in this section. Do you think this might be a good place to drop his name in?

   • Added his name to section.KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

   •  Comment: Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria section.

   • "In London, Kapiʻolani and Liliʻuokalani received an official audience with Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace." Who received whom? Is it possible this is meant to say, "were granted an audience with Queen Victoria ..."? Also the Bayonet Constitution needs some elaboration as to its implications that made them cancel their trip and return home.

   • Added and changed.KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

   • "In declining health, Kalākaua traveled to California" - there's a 3-year gap between the Golden Jubilee and Kalakaua's death in California. Why is this in the same section? Maybe move the paragraph about Kalakaua's death to the section Death and Funeral (and rename it to include both his and Kapiolani's death).

   • Changed.KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

   •  Comment: Death and Funeral section. Needs clarification on the various government transitions between Liliuokalani's reign and Kapiolani's death. Suggest making the first paragraph a brief recap about the governments in charge. And the second paragraph about Kapiolani's death and funeral.

   • @Maile66: Added stuff.KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

   •  Comment: Legacy section. Need sourcing that Kapiolani Maternity Home is now Kapiʻolani Medical Center. Also need sourcing for Kapiʻolani Park in Waikīkī .

   • Added source.KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
