John Hill Westbrook Foundation

The John Hill Westbrook Foundation had an active website as of March 2020, but it seems to be offline now. Google has this cached page, but it's incomplete. I suppose if the site doesn't come back soon, I'll just remove the external link from the article. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 18:23, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it since it's been dead for a few months now. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 15:41, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Pdcook (talk). Self-nominated at 18:25, 15 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Article is good to go. New enough, at 3200 characters it meets the base length requirement and is easily a 5x expansion from the 600 characters it had in October 2019. Article meets NPOV, cites sources appropriately, and is free of copyright issues. Hook is interesting, neutral, and accurate. QPQ not required as the tool shows this is only the second DYK nom. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:33, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
