Catafalque procession

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have reverted the edit that replaced "catafalque" with the word "casket", and the edit summary "catafalques are stationary". Well, only if you don't have a lot of pomp and ceremony and the manpower to pull the catafalque down the street. There are newspaper images of Liliuokalani's catafalque being pulled. And much news coverage of it happening:

"The casket was carried down the steps amid wailing and chanting and deposited upon the catafalque." and when the procession finally got to the Royal Mausoleum: "As the catafalque was brought to a stop and the casket lifted to the supports over the crypt..." 1

"...200 who pulled the 1200-foot ropes attached to the catafalque..."2

Also, there is an image in this article that actually shows those 200 people pulling the catafalque out of Iolani Palace with ropes.

Orthography, spelling and formatting - MOS Hawaii-related articles

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Balon Greyjoy KAVEBEAR I have reverted you once again, because you are reverting the Hawaiian okina. "replacing curly quotation marks/apostrophes with straight ones, per MOS:'" MOS Hawaii-related articles is used in this article. Once again, the okina is not a curly quotation mark. Stop doing this. — Maile (talk) 10:49, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
