Hugo Steinhaus
edit
- ... that Hugo Steinhaus "discovered" Stefan Banach, co-founded the Lwów School of Mathematics, and helped to reestablish the prominence of Polish mathematics at the University of Wrocław after World War II?
- Comment: Honestly I've thought with going with something like "...that Hugo Steinhaus made so many varied and important contributions to mathematics and lived such an interesting life that it can't all be fit in a DYK hook?" but I don't think that would fly. Last part refers to both the statement in the article that "With Steinhaus' help the University of Wrocław became renown..." and the quote from Kac. Both referenced to Kac.Volunteer Marek (talk) 06:39, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

- Hook: Love the joke alt1 Original hook is fine. I removed a link to WWII per WP:OVERLINKING. The Lwow part is uncited.
- Article: Long enough, new enough. Three paragraphs have unsourced statements (Lwow School of mathematics, PAU and PAN membership, and Studia Mathematica). Reference 8 is bare. Paraphrasing looks fine. Images are on Commons.

- Ah, the inline citations got moved around during restructuring of the article, except for the PAN/PAU thing which was in there before I started working on it. I've added the inlines back into the appropriate place and a added a source for PAN/PAU (though I couldn't find one which was explicit about the years in which he was a member, so removed that part).Volunteer Marek (talk) 02:02, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
