Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The position of the Astronomer Royal has been held by very talented and accomplished scientists and astronomers such as Edmond Halley. It is also position dating back to the 17th century but there is very little information about what has happened to the position and institution the position oversees since then. It also is important to know what the people in this position accomplished and the discoveries they made.

Evaluate the article
To start off, the article has no table of contents or structure. It is just a few paragraphs followed by a list of people who have been appointed as the Astronomer Royal. There is a large content gap from when the position was created until when the position was separated into the Astronomer Royal and the Director of the Royal Greenwich Observatory, roughly 300 years. It doesn't provide any information about anything that happened relating to this position during this time.

The article doesn't have any equity gaps concerning under or misrepresented groups. It's tone is strictly neutral and abiding by the guidelines of Wikipedia. It doesn't make any claims that aren't objective.

Most of the facts are supported with a citation, although sometimes the citations for a whole paragraph are at the end and not at each of the facts that they provided. The only missing citations are for the sentence claiming the position of the Royal Astronomer of Ireland ended after Irish Independence and some of the references is pop culture. All of the links cited work. The sources are from a variety places.

The talk page doesn't have much other than some facts that need to be corrected and sources that could be used to enrich the article.
