DYK for H. Rex Lee

On 14 October 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article H. Rex Lee, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that H. Rex Lee was the last non-elected Governor of American Samoa? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, H. Rex Lee), 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.
