DYK for Inge Keller

On 15 December 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Inge Keller, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that during World War II, German actress Inge Keller entered a sham marriage to avoid enlistment into the Reich Labour Service? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Inge Keller. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
