Created by TheLonelyPather (talk). Self-nominated at 17:53, 28 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Xu Ruiyun; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

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. CeeGee 16:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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