Talk:Cape of Good Hope

message: Beefart says: Hey dudes: If you are going to remove captions that you find "weird", please make sure that what you leave in place makes sense. Cape Point is "behind"? Behind what? The horizon? No, I don't think so. It is behind the photographer. It was behind the photographer when he took the picture. It is no longer behind him, coz afterwards he went home. That is what I said. The description was precise. You may not like it but unless you can improve on it, leave well alone.
:Yes, technically accurate but I was found it kind of jarring too. There's really no good way to caption what a picture does *not* show; better to confine oneself to describing what's in the picture, and use another for the opposite direction. Stan 14:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd like to clarify the locations of Good Hope and Cape Point a little.  Currently, this article says that Good Hope is "the south-west corner of the Cape Peninsula", at location .  Cape Point says it is 1km east.
hi:
* SW corner: 
* SE corner: 
That puts the two points 2.33 km (1.45 miles) apart.
Anyone care to check/comment on this?  I'm trying to put together a detail map showing the exact layout.  — Johan the Ghost seance 13:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Please stop adding references to Gavin Menzies' 1421 hypothesis as if it was fact.  These theories are totally disputed by mainstream historians; if they are going to be mentioned in the article at all, it needs to be done in a correctly balanced way (ie. mentioning that most people think he's wrong).  See:

message: I don't know whether the reference to deer on the peninsula is correct or not, but unless someone can confirm this with great confidence, I mean to remove it.  If someone really can affirm it, then ok, but then please mention that they are not indigenous, and if you have the info, please say something about their origin.

message: About the now speedily closed #Requested move 22 June 2015:
Anymouse argued for a "Speedy procedural REVERT per WP:BRD" on the grounds of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, a point already made by В²C, and taken by me after sleeping on it. But why criticise me (twice) for moving the article without discussion while in the same breath referring to WP:BRD? Since when is discussion necessary before making any edit or move?
From WP:BRD-NOT: "No edit, regardless of how large it is, requires any prior discussion."
Just saying... André Kritzinger (talk) 00:16, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Moves are not edits and are subject to different considerations. See WP:RM. The first rule of moves is that you should go through RM if the move is potentially controversial. Any time you move an article from the base name it should be considered controversial, unless there is no question that it's not the primary topic. No big deal, just don't do it again.  --В²C ☎ 01:05, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
