  • New enough as expanded 5x on 7 October. Long enough. NPOV, effective use of inline citations. No obvious copyvio. Interesting hook that is supported by inline citation. AGF on Dutch language sourcing. Google translate seems to support it but AGF. Adequate QPQ provided. Cowlibob (talk) 20:00, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Links

Prose

Lede

Österreich? You mean Amsterdam Metro? Done. :)
  • We don't generally link to large landmasses, (in this case Netherlands)/ Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Removed overlink.
  • Asbestos was found during a renovation in 2011 - this is quite a short sentence. Probably needs expanding or removing from the lede. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Replaced asbestos with something else.
  • The station was renovated again during 2017 and 2018. A new elevator and two new - lots of new's. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Replaced second new with additional.
  • was used as a fallout shelter - when was it used as a fallout shelter? Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty much since the cancellation of the line in 1975 (now added) until 1999 (already in the next sentence).

General

Do you want more or less images on the left?
I can't say I care, but either all to the right, or alternate. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 19:19, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • You probably don't need to give times for the YouTube clip, unless you give time range. A start time on it's own is pointless. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Added as a range.
  • In April 2017, the Gemeente Vervoerbedrijf (GVB) - you don't actually use this acronym again in the article, so there's no need to explain it. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Removed in both prose and infobox.
  • (Dutch: Amsterdam, aannemer en arbeider) - the bolding is not suitable here. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Removed bold. I decided to add it because the shape was an A due to all three groups starting with that letter in Dutch.
Done.
Added alt texts on all.
There is still no alt text for the lede image. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 19:21, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
