On 22 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Karolina Olsson, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Swedish woman Karolina Olsson purportedly stayed in a constant state of sleep for 32 years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Karolina Olsson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
