Overall: Long enough and new enough with copyright violations. Everything is reliably verified. The hook is cited and interesting. SL93 (talk) 02:31, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93 and Antony-22: I cannot see that citation 11 supports the sentence about "disintegration" preceding it. Bruxton (talk) 13:10, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bruxton I see it. "Tester said the rock and coral building is in danger of disintegration". As for the 1970 part, the article is from 1970. SL93 (talk) 16:46, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93 and Antony-22: Thanks and welcome back! I had such trouble finding that. If anyone needs to confirm it is at the end of paragraph 8 in source. Bruxton (talk) 19:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure the sources support the hook's claim of "destroyed" however. Bruxton (talk) 19:08, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bruxton I'm not sure what you mean. Maybe use the word "damaged" which is true on both counts. SL93 (talk) 19:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a ... that the Lahaina U.S. Marine Hospital was damaged twice: in the 1970s due to neglect, and then by the 2023 Hawaii wildfires? Bruxton (talk) 20:04, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Damaged" doesn't quite capture it. The first time it had completely collapsed into a pile of rubble (see [3] and [4]). The second time everything burned except the exterior stone walls. I think that "destroyed" is a more reasonable description. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 23:52, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Antony-22: Fair enough. Bruxton (talk) 19:10, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
