250 is way too low to be at all useful and can never be consider to be anything other than (at most) a definition. At 500 chars there is far more space to actually start having encyclopedia articles.
Compare; http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnational_entity 250 chars
With; http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hecale 500 chars
The first is just a definition, but the second actually has a definition /and/ some encyclopedic information.

Ok, you've convinced me. I change my vote for the default to 500.
