Henry Hoolulu Pitman[edit]
Portrait of Henry Hoʻolulu Pitman
- ... that Henry Hoʻolulu Pitman (pictured), a private in the 22nd Massachusetts Regiment of Hawaiian descent, was imprisoned at the Confederate Libby Prison during the American Civil War?
ALT1:... that a memorial plaque was erected at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific recognizing more than one hundred documented Hawaiians, who served during the American Civil War including Henry Hoʻolulu Pitman?- Reviewed: Showcase Mall
- Comment: Aricle moved to mainspace today. Please suggest a more attractive hook if possible since I want this to really catch the eyes of viewers. Also if possible can this be prepped alongside J. R. Kealoha?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Did some minor editing. Artcile is long enough and posted by due date. Hook references verified. No copy vio noted. QPQ done. I prefer ALT1 hook. Img is freely licensed. Good to go.--Nvvchar. 23:05, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
The hook gives no indication of his notability. Why not say he was the son of a chief rather than just "a private in the 22nd Massachusetts Regiment"?

- @Gatoclass: I personally don't think that is the sole trait of notability hence the article doesn't focus on his noble descent but treats him as a soldier. But I guess I can accept it.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:55, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Nvvchar: Can you reacess this hook?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:01, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
- ALT1 hook suggested by User:Gatoclass verified and found in order. Good to go.--Nvvchar. 04:13, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
