Your edit to Moose
As LittleOldMe notes above, welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, while I'd like to thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, I've reverted the [ edit] you made to the article Moose. My reasons for doing so were twofold: First of all, Wikipedia aspires to be an encyclopedia rather than an indiscriminate collection of trivia; as such, we try to discourage the addition of only tangentially relevant bits of trivia to general articles. Second, that particular article is about the animal named "Moose", not about other things that happen to share the name. As it happens, we already have a separate article on The Moose (M*A*S*H), which already contains the information you added.

Please don't take any of this as discouraging you from further editing. Wikipedia is a big place (even if it's just a website), and it usually takes while to get used to the "local customs". Just keep making any changes that you think would be helpful, and eventually you'll get the hang of it. If you're not sure about something, feel free to ask on the article talk pages or at the Help Desk. You may want to take a quick look at out content policies and our manual of style to get you started, but remember that you don't need to memorize them all — nobody can do that. Anyway, thank you for your time, and happy editing! —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 17:58, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
