The article is plenty long enough and new enough. Hook is interesting and cited. QPQ present. The article is stellar, and I think that in general, the consensus that some of the captures from the Fair American incident were critical to Kamehameha's military success should be emphasized. That could even be an alt hook, though this one is not bad at all! Raymie (t • c) 05:34, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
