Higher?

[edit]

Each cape is at sea level, by definition. Perhaps what is meant is further North? Or is this a comment on the height of the view points at the capes? Paul Beardsell 09:55, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I would assume the latter, as in height of the view points above sea level. Dewet 14:16, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Two currents, and southernmost point

[edit]

Cape Point is not the meeting point of the two currents - this is an old myth. I've also never heard it considered as the southernmost point of Africa - even the old Dutch navigators could tell latitude? Will remove these claims for now. Greenman 12:40, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tone issues

[edit]

This article is, overall, very good IMO. There are a few bits which I think could be made more encyclopedic in tone; like "over and over again ad nauseam", "if the reader will kindly excuse the term". I'll get to this when time allows, if no-one else does. — Johan the Ghost seance 16:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates

[edit]

198.174.52.14 added "The South Latitude of Cape Point should be changed to 34 21 24" at the bottom of the article. Have moved the claim to the talk page. Greenman 10:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
