Moose incident

[edit]

@Rex65mya:Boldly redirected sub-stub "Pogo Moose Incident" to here primarily on account of no evidence of lasting significance. Also, what I read was so poor, it had no business being in article space; for example, "1.5 meter moose" is highly misleading. 1.5 meters would have been the spread of its antlers while it was rutting. Instead, we're led to believe that this was the overall size of the moose. That would make for one awfully small moose, which contradicts the source's claim that the moose was "massive". As the existing article resembles someone's social media exercise, I expect this inclusion will be challenged, so let's talk about sourcing. The contributed source (Montana Outdoor) looks like a blog to me. The first page of Google hits shows coverage from Snopes, The Economist and the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. As I already mentioned no lasting significance, I suspect these multiple sources are just treading each other's water. Still, it showed that no effort was made to identify quality sources and source material before the entry was thrown into article space. See WP:REFSPAM.
