KAVEBEAR - some minor work needs to be done, otherwise this looks great.
- Hook: Appropriate length and interest, however need to add "ed" after "allow".
- Sourcing: First part of hook is sourced to page 548 of The Hawaiian kingdom, vol. 3, 1874-1893, The Kalakaua dynasty which says "There was evidently an organized movement working up these petitions as there had been in 1890; all but a handful of them were brought into the legislature by four members, Representatives Nawahi, White, and Kamauoha, and Noble Pua." However, I can't find a source that says the Bayonet constitution allowed Pua to be elected to the HoN.
- NPOV: Article and hook appear NPOV.
- QPQ: done
- Image: none
- Length: good
- Newness: created yesterday
- General policies: meets general policies
- Plagiarism: Earwig returns "violation unlikely" at 4.8%

- @DarjeelingTea: The exact quote from the source [1] used already in the article: "In the election of 1884, under the Gibson regime, he unsuccessfully stood for a seat in the Legislature. The constitution of 1887 having changed the House of Nobles from a life to an elective tenure, Mr. Pua was elected for the four-year term as a Noble for Oahu on the National Reform ticket in 1890, and sa in the Legislature s of that year and 1892." [1]. The House of Noble was appointed for life before this.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:15, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
KAVEBEAR - thanks for the clarification. This looks good to go. DarjeelingTea (talk) 02:55, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
KAVEBEAR Hooks have to be less than 200 characters. The character count tool in the upper right toolbox of this nom template is for the hook length. Your hook above has 219 characters. You could easily resolve that by removing the words "the very constitution" — Maile (talk) 21:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
