A fact from Xu Ruiyun appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 April 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in 1940 Xu Ruiyun became the first Chinese woman to receive a PhD in mathematics?

Article is new, long enouugh and neutrai. It cites sources inline. Most od the sources are offline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports no text similarities at all. The hook is well-formatted and interesting. Its size is within limit. Its fact is sourced inline, however, in foreign language. The hook can be shortened without losing its interestingness, maybe ommitting the supervisor. QPQ was done. Good to go.

Thanks,
CeeGee! I put the supervisor there because Carathéodory is a big mathematician. By your suggestion, here is an alternative:
