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

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because I think eclipses are super interesting. I also think that while I know what an eclipse is I think it would be interesting to look into what others used to think, how they effected other peoples lives, and how they overall just change science.

Evaluate the article
While where the eclipse was visible from is important, I think where that information was placed within the article was quite sudden. The information was also a large blurb of different areas with changes made to their modern names that is just overall overwhelming.

The article also spends a lot of time jumping to other important eclipses, and while they are relevant there seems to be a lacking amount of info on the eclipse the article is meant to be discussing. While yes, an eclipse that was even longer than the 1919 eclipse is cool, it's not relevant to the topic.

While the article does discuss Einsteins theory of relativity, which is why this eclipse is so important, it only goes into the failed attempts of prove the theory, and not how the eclipse of 1919 is important to this theory. It discusses how many people were analyzing this eclipse, but it doesn't even go into what they found with their observations.

There are very few sources on this article, and several of them only have a few sentences, or no longer open when attempting to use them. There was a source that was cited twice, both source 1 and 8 were the exact same link, which leads to questions on if the other sources are valid.

The talk page is very minimal, with only one question about a quote from Einstein about his theory being correct.
