Okina

Samoan language, which I gather produced the volcano's name, uses the ʻokina (ʻ), not an apostrophe ('). Per MOS:HAWAII the proper symbol should be used for Hawaiian toponyms, so I figure using it in Samoan toponyms would be an improvement too. I didn't move the article since it's a GAN and I don't know if it will break the templates. Daß Wölf 06:36, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Our article ʻOkina suggests that in Samoan one often represents it with an apostrophe. Incidentally, since this article is not yet under review you can probably simply edit it. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:28, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I wasn't aware that both are used in Samoan. Incidentally, pinging Quisqualis who reverted me. Daß Wölf 00:51, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article was promoted to GA status within the last seven days, is obviously over the required prose size and has no copyvio concerns. Hook is interesting and attributed to reliable sources. QPQ provided, good to go. Kosack (talk) 15:17, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
