Talk:Pier

message: Pier means 3 different things in English, this entire article only deals with only one meaning. See  for a starting point. It's not semantics, I came here looking for the third meaning and found - nothing at all.Arminden (talk) 08:33, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Article looks okay. See disambiguation page or further articles and different meanings. Helpful if you start new topics below others. Definitely doesn't require complete rewrite. If you disagree suggest what needs rewritingRobynthehode (talk) 16:07, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

message: When is a pier a bridge?  Birnbeck Pier - "It's the only pier in the world which is joined to an island, and it's one of the oldest piers in the country." Paul E. Ester 19:54, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not the only pier in the world linked to an island, the causeway at Victor Harbor, South Australia links the mainland to Granite Island. The Birnbeck Pier article has what I believe to be the correct wording, that is "It is the only pier in the country which links the mainland to an island". --TrogWoolley (talk) 13:04, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

message: So which IS the smallest pleasure pier in Britain? we have two claims on this article, Cleethorpes and Burnham, and one of these official sites (Burnham, I think) mentions another that is even shorter!.  Discuss.   Lynbarn 23:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: There is a long white space in the middle of the page after the first section.  At least in my viewing, with IE.  Can somebody fix this?  I tried, but it just made it look uglier.  User:Zoe|(talk) 18:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Is a pier necessarily over water? For example, I think the word is also used in connection with airports (as in, an elevated, strechted building with entrance to the gates). If so, the terminology in for example Schiphol_Airport#Terminals_and_destinations is incorrect (probably to literally translated from Dutch then) and should be changed. Otherwise, perhaps this article could be extended with a small notice. --CompuChip 16:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Piers of the world" section covers two countries. List of piers covers fourteen. Either we expand the section here in this article or remove it. Selectively talking about two countries is not encyclopaedic. I vote for deletion. --TimTay (talk) 23:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of articles start off as stubs and are gradually expanded. Some eventually end up as Good Articles. Surely this is a better way of doing things than deleting large sections merely because they haven't yet been expanded? The more information in an article the better, even if the structure of the article is temporarily unbalanced. I vote to keep the section in and allow time for other contributions.   ♦ Jongleur100 ♦ talk 23:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. It could benefit hugely from expansion, but that's the best reason to keep it! If it's gone altogether, editors are less likely to be inspired to add to it. – Kieran T (talk) 12:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Piers of the world section is nothing of the sort 

message: In the first sentence a pier is defined some walkway, whereas later in the article is a chapter about working piers (unloading passengers and goods).
So what is the correct definition?
I thought a quay that is built perpendicular to the land is always called pier, no matter what function. --212.4.51.16 (talk) 07:33, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction in article - walkway and working pier 

message: Progreso Pier is often discribed as the longest in the world. In truth it is a long, thin man-made island (reclaimed land) connected to the mainland by a bridge approximately 2 kilometers long.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.109.225 (talk) 17:37, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should jetty and pier be merged? 

message: не мог понять што за старые развалины, останки. 
А причина оказалась в приливах. Если подвесить плот из 1-ого куба древесины? Когда уйдёт вода - повиснет. Можно добывать электроэнергию. 
Можно построить плотину со створом ворот "шлюза". Но вращаясь Земля станет удаляться с водой и этим (силой притяжения к Луне) начнёт останавливать вращение планеты. Но толщина водной "скорлупы" меньше длины радиуса. И кора не из нефти. 
Масса планеты больше. Это - +.
