He's a jockey! What was his friggin' height and weight, geniuses?

Do you not think that it's of significance to put a famous jockey's height or weight in the text of an article? Wikipedia articles always put a basketball player's height. They even often put the height of baseball players, a game in which height is not even of that much importance. Yet another example of Wikipedia's shortcomings!

Source material[edit]

Good article for expansion source: http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/steve-cauthen-last-jockey-win-triple-crown/

Yes, it is. I added that as a reference and included the link with my edits earlier this year. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:54, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I also used it as the basis for edits to the lede that were removed as hyperbolic [1]. They do, in fact, accurately describe Cauthen's prominence. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:56, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
