File:Emma M Nakuina Signature 1904.svg has a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, which is valid for the uploader's re-creation. However, it misses the copyright status for the signature itself.

Done.

Infobox

Spouse(s) Frederick William Beckley Sr. -> see {{marriage}}

Done.

Spouse(s) Moses Kuaea Nakuina -> see {{marriage}}

Done.

Children "and others" -> Ambiguous

Fred Beckley is the only one worth mentioning in the infobox. The other children are not noteworthy.

Lead

Too short for WP:LEAD

Done.

If you are not going to create Hawaiian National Museum soon, remove it

Sorry, I've been encouraged to red link relevant articles in past GA and FA reviews. Unless used frivolously, it is a perfectly okay according to policy. See Wikipedia:Red link.

Early life

Kaua'ala -> Kauaʻala

Done.

Her mother Kaʻilikapuolono was -> Her mother, Kaʻilikapuolono, was

Done.

"descendant of the aliʻi lineages of Oahu associated with the Kūkaniloko Birthstones" -> It is missing something to be clear

Changed.

"highest ranking chiefs" -> "highest-ranking chiefs"

Done.

"where the highest ranking chiefs of the islands were once born ... Kamehameha I during his conquest of the Hawaiian Islands." -> I find this line irrelevant to Nakuina

Ancestry is crucial to the identity of a Hawaiian in the 19th-century and Kamehameha I was the defining figure of the age, thus connecting Nakuina to be a descendant of a chief under the service of the conqueror king.

If you are not going to create Moses Kuaea, remove the link

Same as above.

Career

"The salary from this governmental post help her support her children" -> tense

Done.

"Hawaii's first female judge.[13][14][8][15]" -> see also WP:CITEKILL

Changed.

See also

The link List of first women lawyers and judges in Hawaii should be mentioned instead at the lead and at "regarded as Hawaii's first female judge"

Changed.

Bibliography

"Harper, Ida Husted, ed." -> Did you mean "et al."?

No ed is for editor. There is no accredited author for the given section about Hawaii.

Taylor, Albert Pierce (1926) -> unlink it, as repeated

Changed.

Yasutake, Rumi (2017) -> You're missing author 2

Yasutake was the only other of the journal article used. Choy and Wu are editors of the entire piece. KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:02, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

Order them alphanumerically

Is that a policy? I have never heard such a request.

WP:CATORDER mentions it is not a rule, but having any particular order is helpful. The categories go: politician, politician, nobility, alumni, origin, alumni, nobility, writer, writer, writer, judge, curator, politician, politician, date, date. If you'd argue the categories are in disorder because of a semantic field-style I wouldn't mind, but the current order isn't helpful.

Done. KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:57, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Name

For what I've read, "Emma Kaili Metcalf Beckley Nakuina" is not her WP:COMMONAME

This is the version used in Notable Women of Hawaii and American Women Historians, 1700s-1990s: A Biographical Dictionary. There is no consistent usage. Calling her simply Emma Nakuina would be wrong given the importance of her first marriage and her own maiden name. KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:07, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Giving her her full name gives the wrong impression her (almost) full name is her common name, when it's based on 1-2 sources. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 21:10, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What do you suggest? Don’t know what you mean by almost since Kaili is merely the shorten form of Kaʻilikapuolono. KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:57, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
