Motivation
editHistoryLink.org is the "largest encyclopedia of regional history created expressly for the Internet. ... With a few noted exceptions, all articles on this site are original works prepared exclusively for HistoryLink.org by staff historians, contract writers, volunteers, and consulting experts" (https://www.historylink.org/File/20001). This free online encyclopedia offers authoritative information about Washington State history and links to it from Wikidata items will be extremely useful. Sometimes, multiple essays cover the same topic (e.g., the essay on Chief Leschi is in two parts), so there should not be a single value constraint.
