Which article are you evaluating?
Crab pulsar

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The Crab Pulsar is a galactic supernova remnant. The fact that it is nearby allows means that it can be relatively easily observed, and indeed it has been studied in detail in multiple wavelengths. There is a considerable depth of information available about the Crab Pulsar, which I do not think the current article reflects.

Evaluate the article

 * The lead section is somewhat over-specialized, in the sense that it doesn't seem accessible to the general public. It presents a lot of information in very little space. Many of the topics mentioned in the lead (source of emission, termination shock, etc) could be expanded into subsections of their own.
 * History of observation is very well-developed for the early years, but then there's a giant gap until one throw-away sentence about gravitational wave-observations in 2019 (see below)
 * Sources are dated! There is a lot more observational information available now
 * No mention of topics such as, e.g. flares from the Crab pulsar
 * The talk page appears completely inactive
 * Overall it looks like someone started writing this article then abandoned it halfway through.
