Talk:Mole

message: About the SI unit I think that:
* `amount of substance' does not refer to number of particles. The quantity is perfectly valid without the concept of atoms. The law of multiple proportions and law of definite proportions suffice. It is therefore more elegant to define the mole without refering to number of particles, but as a unit ``equivalent proportion.
* The number of atoms in mole should still of course be mentioned. In fact as something that makes marvelously sense in the light of those laws. 
   
If there are no objections I will change the page and come with more proposals. RitaBijlsma

text: Well now it's spelt both ways.  It can't really be helped if people are going to spell it mole, and not moll.  It's worth having here, as a lot of people spell the word mole.  —JD[don't talk|email] 00:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I have no idea what this has to do with you reverting my last edit. As WP:MOSDAB explicitly states: "The description associated with a link should be kept to a minimum, just sufficient to allow the reader to find the correct link." Clarityfiend (talk) 04:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As I've stated before, you don't go to the dab page initially [who types "Mole (disambiguation)"?]. You dig into Mole first. Now that I think about it, the geography's okay; the rest ("similar to but unrelated to Talpidae moles") should go, but I can live with it. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:46, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you, but if you haven't already, please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mole#Non-moles and tell Richard how you feel, and bring Silence and Zach and anyone else who might be interested with you, and you can all have it out there.  The way I see it, the simplest thing to do is to send everyone who searches for m-o-l-e to this page. Chrisrus (talk) 13:48, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Does anybody seriously believe the chemistry unit is what most people think of first when they hear the word? IMO it should go into the Other common meanings section. Clarityfiend (talk) 17:39, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, there is no primary topic for the disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 17:51, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This primary topic was chosen based on usage statistics presented at Talk:Mole (animal)#Disambiguation of Mole. The SI unit clearly receives more hits than any other type of mole, including the animal. Unless anyone can present an argument strong enough to counter these stats, I suggest restoring the primary topic. —Zach425 talk/contribs 04:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: With the current arrangement of articles, with the disambiguation page located at Mole, there is by definition no primary topic. If you want to try moving the SI unit to Mole, that's a different matter, which I doubt would have much support. It might be possible to formulate things such that the SI unit is listed first after the standard "Mole may refer to:" lede line. I considered how to do this when I made my edit, but I couldn't come up with anything that wasn't overly awkward. older ≠ wiser 04:18, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Main meaning 

message: Considering Mole (animal) is included. One could end up here searching for a "Mole" as in the animal or a "Mole" as in a specific type of homeless person. I can understand the films, crickets etc. as not being ambiguous per mosdab, but I wouldn't consider this a partial match. -- œ™ 08:41, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There was no evidence at the article mole people that they are commonly called simply "moles", so they were removed along with mole cricket, mole snake, mole this and mole that, because there were too many and the "milk chocolate vs. chocolate milk" thing was invoked.
