Lede

edit
  • Could you make it clear that he was studying in Italy?
  • he attended the Royal Naval Academy at Livorno. He became a friend of Robert William Wilcox, another Hawaiian student enrolled at Turin. It's confusing that the other student was "also" studying at a different city.
  • They traveled together to Italy from Hawaii and would have spent vacations under the same government-appointed guardian Cerulli. KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:43, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Early life

edit
  • His family background was of British and Hawaiian descent. He was of British and Hawaiian descent?
  • His two-time great-grandfather What is that?
  • He was great-grandfather to Robert on both his mother and father's side of the family. His parents were both grandchildren of John Harbottle. KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:43, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • I suggest that you separate out the citations for this section, or else bundle them.
  • I can bundle the excessive ones but three is not usually considered excessive on GA or FAC. KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:43, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Later life

edit
  • You refer to "his friend Wilcox" twice in two paragraphs, and unnecessarily repeat Wilcox's full name.
  • Is there nothing more to say in this section? It's just a bit unusual that the "Education" section is longer than the rest of his life.
  • He led a pretty dull life after this point. The Hawaii State Archives does not contain any mention of his political career. He seem to have never been elected to any real office despite trying to run in elections and joining political meetings. I did add some personal details about his life.

  • The last image hangs awkwardly into the references.
  • Will look into this too.
  • I think it is okay now.

One more thing

edit
  • tried for treason and conservation—what is the crime of conservation?
