Move of Article

I moved the article Lihu'e Airport to Lihue Airport based on the following evidence...

  • internal links of the article, including the official Hawaii DOT [http://www.state.hi.us/dot/airports/kauai/lih/ site] as well as NOAA's [http://www.crh.noaa.gov/data/obhistory/PHLI.html site], pointed to "Lihue", not "Lihu'e"
  • large majority of wikipedia-internal articles point to "Lihue", not "Lihu'e" [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?offset=&limit=50&target=Lihue_Airport&title=Special%3AWhatlinkshere&namespace=0]
  • regular google search returns [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Lihu%27e+Airport%22+-site%3Awikipedia.org 75,000] for "Lihue Airport" and [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Lihu%27e+Airport%22+-site%3Awikipedia.org&btnG=Search 364] for "Lihu'e Airport"
  • google news search supports regular google search, although not decisively due to low returns generally: [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=%22Lihue+Airport%22+-site%3Awikipedia.org 4] for "Lihue Airport" and [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=%22Lihu'e+Airport%22+-site:wikipedia.org&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn 1] for "Lihu'e Airport"
  • the article for the town of Lihue, Hawaii is titled "Lihue", not "Lihu'e" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Erudy (talkcontribs) 20:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
