(reiteration of comment in Jetty article discussion). I'm against such a merger. For a starter, I agree that a jetty is a small pier. By contrast, a mole is a massive structure. A mole is a specifically combined structure of causeway and pier, and has nothing to do with being a breakwater, extending a river channel, etc. It's sole purpose is to enable docking of large vessels in deep water where extensive marshlands or shallows intervene. The usage also appears to have been peculiarly common in the San Francisco Bay. The articles should stay distinct, and especially so until the Jetty article has been edited further to conform with the emerging consensus as to the definition of "jetty".

Odd, that I'd actually have to go into the talk section to find the actual reason that a mole would be built (as opposed to, say, a dock or a jetty). However, I had the moles at Gibraltar in mind when looking this up, and clearly, they have no marshlands there. Frunobulax ( talk) 14:22, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
I think it is rational to change the title of this article (Mole (architecture)) to Mole (structure). We also have an article of Breakwater (structure)-- Bioneer1 ( talk) 12:37, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
The Venice molo at the end should be first. There should be reference to the Renaissance mole at Genoa and other early-modern moles; then Dunkirk's, then the one(s) in Oakland-Alameda, etc. Dadofsam ( talk) 17:59, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
I reverted the recent change to the image layout because I don't think it was particularly an improvemnet. Most of the images relate to moles discussed in the text and are better placed where they are referenced rather than a gallery at the end. Also, the Alameda Mole is not the best lede image as it does not show the essential features that define a mole. I do not even agree that the change solved the claimed problem of excessive white space on a wide screen. With 10pt text on a 1024px display there is minimal whitespace in either layout. On a 1920px display I measured 39 sq. in of whitespace on the old display and 38 sq. in on the new display. Hardly a major improvement. With a larger size font the old layout can actually have less whitespace than the new layout. Spinning Spark 02:07, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
