Sorry, I sent in this DYK for an article about a subject which I am not good in.
Joe Rosentover edit
- ... that Joe Rosentover became president of the American Association in 1936, then became president of the Atlantic Coast Football League in 1963?
- Reviewed: A House Divided (Dallas) (nomination), Ecteinascidia turbinata & Maritigrella crozierae (2 nominations).
- Comment: It is notable, around 1.8-2K characters.
"*Comment Suggest that the link be to American Association not to a disambiguation page. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:14, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Looks like there is a bit of confusion about the size requirement. DYK needs at least 1500 characters of text (prose). The overall size of the page isn't what you look at. Right now, this article has about 400 characters. If you can expand it to 1500 in a reasonable amount of time, it can still pass. The Interior (Talk) 20:03, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
I will expand today and tomorrow. --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 06:37, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Expanded. --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 16:34, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- The article is currently only 953 charactures and repeats itself ("It was founded as a Minor league").--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:55, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Tom, I suggest installing the DYKcheck tool and then working slowly and carefully to expand the article based on reliable sources, until it reaches 1500 characters according to DYKcheck. In theory you have another four days to get there, so there's no huge hurry. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:16, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Tom, another problem is that the link American Association in the hook is to a disambiguation page, and needs to be correctly disambiguated. --NSH001 (talk) 17:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- And in Alt1 the link is to a baseball minor league. The article doesn't mention baseball at all. Wikipelli Talk 19:12, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
