Death date discrepancy

In the lede and the text we say he died on 8 or 14 May, yet in the infobox he died on 10 May. Is this a third valid possibility or just a typo? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 23:41, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Typo. The sources say 8 or 14. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:23, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sex

Is it safe to assume that in the genealogical table "k" and "w" stand for kane and wahine? 104.153.40.58 (talk) 01:22, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think so. Every 'k' corresponds to a male and every 'w' corresponds to a female as far as I can tell. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:02, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DBZ reference

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamehameha_(Dragon_Ball)

It took me half an hour to find the page I was looking for because this article is missing the "did you mean?" box. Is there a reason for that? It doesn't even link to it's own page, it links to this

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goku#In_Dragon_Ball

I don't know anything about the previously mentioned edit war or trolling or viral marketing but come on, it is a legitimate topic. It has had multiple Guinness book world records.

https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/522297-most-people-performing-a-dragon-ball-kamehameha

I'm adding it unless someone can at least explain why Wikipedia is forcing zero references on the top Google page and wasting people's time on purpose.

I am not siding with the fans on any past behaviors, I'm certain they are annoying, probably even encouraged by viral marketers. And I am in no way disrespecting or dismissing Hawaiian heritage. I love Hawaii. I'd gladly come visit if I could afford it.

I just know many/most people clicking here from Google just don't want their time wasted, I know I don't.

The Great

I arrived here because I remembered an episode of the old film series "I dream of Jennie" where a rebirth Kamehameha adds more times Nua (or something like) to his name. Is Kamehameha Nua the original form of K the Great? If so, may this be added? My curiosity arose in connection with the name Rapa Nui of the Easter Island.
