Talk:Point Reyes

Edit by 148.87.1.172

I reverted an edit made by 148.87.1.172 which I suspected might be vandalism as the account is regularly used for this purpose. However, as I'm not familiar with the subject, it occurrs to me that I might have reverted a legitimate edit. If so, I apologise, and include the dif here so that an editor with more knowledge of this location can make a definite decition. Paul20070 (talk) 19:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Since the IP address is registered to the Oracle Corporation which is located in the area, the edit may have been a genuine one, so I've undone my reversion. I just hope I'm doing the right thing here. Paul20070 (talk) 19:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I hope it is ok that I added something to the page. I added that at the National Seashore in Pt. Reyes you can also see Elephant Seals. I also hope I did it correctly! Thanks! Raab.Em (talk) 23:59, 6 April 2010 (UTC)Raab.Em

History section

Is it me, or does the really awesomely written history portion of the page seem to be a bit, dominant on this page? Would a summary of the history and a separate, more detailed History of Point Reyes page, like the lauded Yosemite page, help the article? ShinVeritas (talk) 19:57, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation of "Reyes"

Californians pronounce it like "Point Rays" /reɪz/. https://youglish.com/pronounce/Point%20Reyes/english/us? 68.193.141.193 (talk) 23:49, 30 May 2024 (UTC)corpho

Interesting interview but as a Californian that is the first time I heard it pronounced that way. 〜 Adflatuss • talk 03:04, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Then you haven't spent time in Point Reyes. It's easy to find authoritative sources for how to pronounce it as it by people who live in region, who will agree it's pronounced with one syllable.

Point Reyes is uninhabited, so it's pronunciation is dependent on the variety of dialects and conventions across the region. As a Bay Area native, who lived nearby in Novato for many years, I have always and will always pronounce it as Rey-es (following the Spanish convention). There are plenty that do so as well. There are also plenty that pronounce it as "Rays". Both are valid. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 17:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
