Weesperplein metro station


Hi. I'm thinking about getting this to FAC. I've made some minor improvements since it passed the GAN. Going to PR first since it would be my first time in FAC lands.

Thanks, ~Styyx Talk ? 20:12, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * STANDARD NOTE: I have added this PR to the Template:FAC peer review sidebar to get quicker and more responses. When this PR is closed, please remove it from the list. Also, consider adding the sidebar to your userpage to help others discover pre-FAC PRs, and please review other articles in that template.
 * Since you are still working on nominating your first FA, I would suggest seeking a FA mentor. They can comment on this PR and guide you through the FAC process. Z1720 (talk) 14:41, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Greetings! I'm investigating using GPT-4 for ChatGPT-assisted article reviews, and have fed it your article for analysis. Here's what it said:

"The article provides a comprehensive overview of the Weesperplein metro station in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It covers the station's history, layout, artwork, and services. The text is generally well-written, with detailed information and clear organization. However, there are a few areas where the text could be improved for better readability and clarity:


 * In the sentence "The station has two floors: an upper station hall with stores and the lower floor with the tracks.", it would be clearer to write: "The station has two floors, with the upper floor featuring a station hall with stores and the lower floor containing the tracks."
 * The sentence "The first metro train rolled into it in January 1977." could be rewritten for better clarity: "The first metro train arrived at the station in January 1977."
 * In the sentence "The shelter wasn't maintained from 1999 onwards and equipment was removed in 2004 to make way for smoke extraction machinery.", consider rephrasing it as: "From 1999 onwards, the shelter was not maintained, and in 2004, equipment was removed to make way for smoke extraction machinery."
 * The sentence "In Weesperplein, planners had to take an additional East to West line into account." could be rewritten as: "Planners at Weesperplein had to consider an additional East to West line."
 * In the sentence "The shelter included beds, watertanks and garbage chutes for radioactive clothing.", consider revising it to: "The shelter included beds, water tanks, and garbage chutes for disposing of radioactive clothing."
 * The sentence "The doors are waterproof and tested every year to make sure they work." could be improved by writing: "The doors are waterproof and undergo annual testing to ensure functionality."he sentence "In 2018, greenery was placed outside the enterences of the station, replacing bicycle parking racks." should be corrected for spelling and rewritten as: "In 2018, greenery was placed outside the entrances of the station, replacing bicycle parking racks."
 * In the sentence "In 2014, an exact copy of the station was reconstructed in Vught, North Brabant, to allow police, first aid, firefighting and military personnel to train on emergency situations.", it would be clearer to say: "In 2014, an exact replica of the station was built in Vught, North Brabant, to enable police, first aid, firefighting, and military personnel to train for emergency situations."
 * The sentence "The earth below the cassions were rinsed with water and pumped out, lowering them into their place." can be rewritten as: "The earth below the caissons was rinsed with water and pumped out, allowing the caissons to be lowered into place."
 * In the sentence "The metro line, and Weesperplein with it, opened to the public on 16 October.", consider revising it to: "The metro line, including Weesperplein station, opened to the public on 16 October."
 * The sentence "Writing for Het Parool, Marc Kruyswijk said that the station prior to its restorations was a place "where you would prefer to be as short as possible", but after the renovation "[it] suddenly look as if [it is] no longer just from the past, but also a bit from now."" could be improved by writing: "Writing for Het Parool, Marc Kruyswijk commented that before the renovations, the station was a place "where you would prefer to spend as little time as possible," but after the renovation, it "suddenly looked as if it was not only a part of the past but also a part of the present."

As for additional information that could be incorporated into the article:
 * A brief overview of the surrounding neighborhood or nearby points of interest could be added to provide context and help readers understand the station's location and significance within the city.
 * Information about the accessibility of the station, such as ramps, elevators, or other features catering to people with disabilities, could be included to provide a more comprehensive view of the station"

I have no personal opinion about validity of its suggestions; let me know if they were useful for improving the article. Esculenta (talk) 21:33, 27 March 2023 (UTC)


 * , interesting experiment. The grammar fixes seem like reasonable suggestions to me. My only problem is the last point, asking to add information about accessibility. Information about braille patterns and elevators were already included in the article. ~Styyx Talk ? 12:53, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
