The Dutch WP has good information on this that could be used to expand this article: nl:Mol (dier) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wouterstomp (talkcontribs) 06:55, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

On measurements edit

I oppose the use of both 12 centimeters and 5 inches as measurements in the description as it is phrased. Even though we're working with approximate measurements, and both values may be quite valid standard measurements of these moles, the phrasing implies a conversion. MOS:CONVERSIONS would seem to provide that 4.7 inches, as produced by the {{convert}} template, would be a better conversion, as equating 12 centimeters to 5 inches would represent a significant distortion. 5 inches is much closer to 13 centimeters, after all. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 15:23, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

You can do that if you like. I plan to expand this article considerably when I can get around to it, and add detailed measurements (using fractions with Old English measurements, and for that reason not the convert template). —innotata 16:44, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
