A fact from Ashton Hawkins appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 April 2022 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that Ashton Hawkins, the former executive vice president of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, built a large network of donors to the museum while also helping to develop the field of
art law? Source: “Ashton Hawkins, who was, officially, the executive vice president and counsel to the trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but who could more aptly be described as the chief curator of its vast collection of rich and powerful donors, died on Sunday at an assisted living facility in White Plains, N.Y. He was 84.”
“A consummate social animal with impeccable taste and limitless energy, he might have been seen in any given week lunching with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, dancing with Brooke Astor and throwing a party for Andy Warhol — all while wading through the dizzyingly complex world of art law, a field he helped establish in the early 1970s.”
Solid bio on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I believe that being instrumental in the wing for the Temple of Dendur might be more interesting than art law. If you want to stay with it, please fix the link to no redirect. The linked article is not in best condition. - How about an infobox for him? Please link where he studied. If you want to use "Met" please introduce it. Waiting for qpq. --

Thank you for your suggestions, and thank you
Thriley for all your hard work. I've added an infobox, linked Harvard, and changed "Met" to its full name. I like the idea of the hook focusing on Hawkins' work on the Temple of Dendur wing, but I'll leave that to
Thriley as the nominator. --
