... that Ralph Siewert was the first seven footer to play professional basketball?

While new enough, and the hook is cited, the page is only 755 characters long, well short of the minimum of 1,500 characters. Zappa 24 Mati 19:55, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

That's 1500 character of prose text (excluding citations)? I'm not sure more can be added since he only played for a few months there but I'll try. Thanks! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:02, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Yep, that's an issue. Article length is not inclusive of refs/infoboxes or quotes. It's at 755 and needs to go up to 1500 chars. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

I've expanded to 1,500 size. Apparently, he played baseball and football too.—Bagumba (talk) 21:18, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Huh, the more you know. Now with the page exceeding 1,500 characters, looks good to go. Zappa 24 Mati 22:02, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
