Misleading edit
Hawaii was not a state nor even part of the US in 1851! It was the Kingdom of Hawaii, separate country. That is why it issued its own stamps and did not use US ones. W Nowicki (talk) 17:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
"most of an archipelago"? edit
The lede states "The Hawaiian Islands occupy most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean..." Can anyone explain what this means? The Hawaiian Islands are an archipelago. I cannot feature how they could occupy something less than the entirety of the very thing they are. Anyone? Bricology (talk) 08:49, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
The Provisional Gov. stamps ... falling through the cracks? edit
When the Kingdom was overthrown and replaced by a Provisional Gov. in 1893, they had a new series of stamps made up. This article depicts a green 10-center featuring a star and palm trees (as well as a P.G. overstamp). It -appears- there were more. Since the Territory was not created until 1898, this page looks like the logical place for the Prov. Gov. stamps. Twang (talk) 03:15, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
