`  I haven't read the FAQ above because I haven't noticed it at the very end of the list, unfortunately. Please make the FAQ box more conspicuous. Anyway, perhaps another half a bilion people associate the word ``elk`` with Alces alces, so this ambivalence should be immediately noticeable in Wikipedia, like in the case of watershed. When people search for ``watershed``, they are directed to the disambiguation page, rather than directly to the North American meaning like here. Moreover, the word ``wapiti`` should be recommended as the first choice, in my opinion, because it is not ambiguous. In fact, I wonder if all the references cited here truly refer to Cervus canadensis, as the two species may be easily confused by lay people.  `
