Under "Personal life" was stated, "On April 2, 2001, Syme was killed when her vehicle collided with three parked cars on Cahuenga Boulevard in Los Angeles. Syme was impaired, and also not belted in." I changed "was" to "had been" to clarify the chronology. When I first read it, I said to myself, yes, being killed impairs a person. I also changed "impaired" to "under the influence," because the latter term is clearer. But there is a bigger problem here, which I am not going to attempt to fix. Neither endnote states that she was under the influence. They both state only that white powder was found in the car. ] (]) 23:54, 14 December 2024 (UTC) |

:I'm not sure who wrote the above, when, or what it's specifically in reference to, but it's an absurd statement. Articles about people in Misplaced Pages (and other encyclopedias) are full of details and information about "private lives": wives, husbands, children, drinking problems, etc etc etc. I assume "private life" here is code for someone having said he was bisexual or gay. If so, why not just speak honestly without using silly code words. ] 11:49, Mar 14, 2004 (UTC) |

== Hawaiian name == |

] removes the meaning of his Hawaiian name, then ] puts their own interpretation in. Strange. Should the name be there or not?] 00:18, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC) |

I'm glad that portion of the name was taken out, which was ridiculous. Although "ke anu" literally means "the coolness", the interpretation used for his own name seems to have been started by himself and it should just be as he interpreted it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
: I'm not sure where the interpretation of the "deeper" meaning of his name comes from. There is no "deeper meaning" in our Hawaiian language. Seems like a westerner is trying to impose their philosophies onto our culture. In any case, it just means "the coolness", but if he interprets it "over the mountain", then so be it. His father named Keanu after his uncle Henry Keanu Reeves. Maybe Henry's full name was something like Keanuikamauna or Keanuikekuahiwi which would be coolness over the mountains. Or, Keanu's name is actually longer and he just doesn't use the rest of it. |

== Keanu's ancestry == |
|
|
|
|
|
Samuel Reeves, the father of Keanu was not just Hawaiian and Chinese. Ironic that they'd list a general racial category of Asian-American since Hawai'i is currently under belligerent U.S. occupation. In any case, Charles Reeves was from Tennessee and was of English and Irish descent. He married Rose Lokalia Miguel whose father Joseph Miguel was Portuguese and whose mother Malaia was 'Oiwi (aboriginal Hawaiian). They had 9 children. One of them was Keanu Reeves' grandfather Samuel Nowlin Reeves. The Chinese ancestry comes from Keanu's paternal grandmother Sarah Monilani Victor. |

Of course if you're a Hawaiian, 'Oiwi or not, you would know about this. People in the U.S. and throughout the world would not know of it. By the way, the person behind that page is Keanu Sai, grandson of Henry Reeves, the man of whom Keanu was named after, just as Keanu Sai was named after his own grandfather. |

Interesting bit about the US occupation, I have always wondered about that. There are some references to it in ] culture/counterculter. |

:: at least Hawaii is a state and has representation. Certainly it was illegally invaded and the natives were cheated and would prefer that it not have happened and would prefer independence, but then the same can be said of the entire US. |

::::It ws not illegally invaded - U.S. peacekeepers from the U.S.S. Boston landed on 1/16/1893, during a power struggle between two factions in the islands. The royalists lost on 1/17/1893. Although the Blount Report blamed the U.S., his secret investigation dated 7/17/1893 was repudiated by , a bi-partisan investigation concluded on 2/26/1893. Both the Provisional Government, which replaced the Kingdom, and the Republic of Hawaii, which replaced the Provisional Government, were accepted into the family of nations as legitimate successors to the Kingdom, even by President ], who at first worked to reinstate his friend the queen. --] 22:12, 12 February 2006 (UTC) |

::::: U.S. peacekeepers? Give me a break. Spread your propaganda elsewhere! Troops from the U.S.S. Boston were set out by orders of U.S. Minister Stevens. According to the Blount Report, Minister Stevens had no right. Illegal? Yes! The Morgan Report did not "repudiate" what you claim. You are trying to coerce others to believe that Pres. Cleveland was wrong to tell those men who overthrew the Queen to reinstate her. And being deceived by having this faux government, this ''de factor'' government which was accepted into the family of nations doesn't mean anything. Look at the situation of Latvia and the other Baltic States. -- ] 02:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC) |

:::::: Troops from the U.S.S. Boston were requested by Minister Stevens, but it was Capt. Wiltse who actually drafted the clear orders for them to land exclusively for the protection of American lives and property. In either case, the orders were legal, as concluded by the Morgan Report. President Cleveland did tell President Dole to reinstate the queen in 1893, but following the Morgan Report, President Cleveland rebuffed entreaties from the queen for more interference. He recognized the Provisional Government as legitimate, as well as the following Republic of Hawaii. You'll note that in the case of Latvia, its annexation was not universally recognized by the international community, having a diplomatic presence in the U.S. during the entire soviet occupation. In Hawaii, on the other hand, every country that ever had diplomatic relations with the Kingdom recognized the succession of the Provisional Government and Republic of Hawaii. The two situations are very different. --03:40, 20 February 2006 (UTC) |

::: If you are referring to the Native Americans, it was a different situation, although in both cases they were just "screwed". Hawaii had treaties with other countries since 1843 and was accepted into the Family of Nations not to mention the U.S. was one of the first 3 nations to recognize the Hawaiian Kingdom as a full fledged nation. Also very important to know that it wasn't just the "natives" who were cheated. At the time of the overthrow, the kingdom did have a variety of nationals of various ethicities and former nationalisties such as those from England, Germany, Norway, China and Portugal. So it wasn't just the natives. |

It's not unique, but it's not all that common. It's indicative of Reeves' demeanor and professionalism that actors wish to work with again. You can often tell who the nice guys are by how often they reteam with the same actors. It's interesting and should be kept/added to. ] 5th Nov 2005 |
