[edit] Eddington experiment

The best account on-wiki seems to be Tests of general relativity#Deflection of light by the Sun. The article mentioned there, Kepler problem in general relativity, turns out to be a general article about the mathematics of the general problem. I'm wondering what the best title for the experiment would be. Category:Physics experiments has articles closest to what I'm thinking of (though the Category:Experiments looks like it needs re-organising). I'm thinking either "experiment" or "expedition". We have Category:Scientific expeditions. The article could also focus on the eclipse, though that distracts from the expedition and experiments. Seeing as the article should cover the results and the impact and the later history, it should be "experiment". Maybe Eddington experiment and/or 1919 Solar Eclipse Expeditions? There are also (though less widespread) the names Dyson-Eddington experiment and Dyson-Eddington-Davidson experiment. People: Arthur Stanley Eddington, Frank Watson Dyson, Charles Rundle Davidson [1]. Paper: "F. W. Dyson, A. S. Eddington, and C. Davidson, Phil. Trans. Royal Soc. London. Series A 220 (1920) 291-333".
