Which article are you evaluating?
Solar eclipse of May 29, 1919

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is classified as a start-class article but is also high-importance. The article is important because scientific observations can be made about gravity and light during eclipses. First impressions of the article are that it is concise but also very short.

Overall, the article is concise and has a neutral tone. The lead section of the article gives a very clear description of the eclipse itself such as duration and the path it took. The list of viewing locations is very thorough. The sources for the article are all up to date and relevant information.

The observation section of the article is very short. It discusses expeditions to measure certain stars during the eclipse but does not provide much detail about what measurements were made or what the significance of the observations is. One of the sources is a published article by the individuals that conducted the original expeditions to measure stars during the eclipse. Upon looking at that source, I think more information could be used from it to provide more context for the observations made during the eclipse.

The article also features a section discussing eclipses related to the May 29, 1919 eclipse. I think this section does a good job of explaining the relations between the eclipses and it provides good context for why the May 29 eclipse was important. The inex series described in this section does not have an in-text citation and that should be added.
