Honolulu Rifles[edit]

This is a good article overall (thank you!), but some parts have me confused. The Honolulu Rifles, in my understanding, were a White militia group in Hawaiʻi -- the one that fought against Wilcox & backed up the Committee of Safety at the time of the 1893 "Overthrow". I have never heard the name being used for Robert Wilcox and his group (Ka Mamakakaua). I do not have access to the (print) reference, but I am pretty certain on this, so I will (at least temporarily) change it for now. If you can confirm otherwise please let me know.
