replies: text: Agreed!  My number one comment would be that it could use some more references; for FA status, every major statement will need a source of some kind; but as it stands, it's definitely a useful article.  Thinking about what else could go in there, I guess something about climate, and maybe a historical bit -- first discovery / rounding, etc. — Johan the Ghost seance 15:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Capetonians and other people run what is known as the Two Oceans Marathon which is routed around Cape Peninsula. So ordinary people don't know everything..

message: (Comment transferred here from the article page, see ):
The IHO boundary is NOT the reason it is called "Cape of Needles." Furthermore using the IHO data as though it were a "definitive" source is highly misleading. The IHO division only exists for the convenience of national hydrographic offices when drawing up sailing directions. And, oh yes, the link is out of date.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.237.153.19 (talk • contribs) 
:I assume you were referring to the first sentence in this version.
:You correctly pointed out that the reference ([1]) was placed in a way that made it appear to encompass the whole sentence, whereas it only supported the last part of that sentence. I have removed it from that sentence since it already appears in less ambigous form further below.
:I think the wording ("official dividing point") makes it sufficiently clear that this is only a formal notion, not a statement about actual currents (the concern raised here; as I read it, the following sentences about the Agulhas current do not refer to the IHO "dividing point" and should be regarded independently, see also the discussion above). But perhaps someone can suggest a better wording.
:Thanks also for noting that the link  was broken, I have replaced it with a  link to the same document on the official IHO site.

message: The caption under the panorama photo says: "Panorama from the lighthouse around the cape." But is there a lighthouse around the cape? (How could there be?) It would be better stated as, "Panorama around the cape as seen from the lighthouse." Not that "Panorama around the cape" is the best way to express even that idea. The best overall solution for the photo caption is probably: "Panorama view of the cape as seen from the lighthouse." Toddcs (talk) 14:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Based on the multiple videos I've watched online, in which various South Africans speak the name of the Cape, they all say ə'gʌləs and not əˈɡʊljəs. I don't want to change it myself because I don't know how to add citations, and since I'm usually blocked from linking to YouTube videos in the Talk pages, here are two YouTube titles where the correct pronunciation can be verified: "Twenty meter monument draws tourist to Cape Agulhas." and "Cape Agulhas South Africa Where Two Oceans Meet". 67.83.99.134 (talk) 17:45, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
