<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, thanks for the feedback!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I had imagined that ‘pillar’ would be used for smaller/narrower structures, whereas I would consider your photo as a ‘block’.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But you’ve raised a good point, the distinction between pillar and block is somewhat arbitrary. Maybe they’re the same thing?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In any case, I’ve added some more examples to the wiki page.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Blocks/pillars are less common where I live, so it would be helpful to get more feedback on this<o:p></o:p></p>
