@Mujinga:, starting this GA review. Please use the Done, ~~Strikethrough~~, or some other format of indicating a problem has been resolved.

'when a political struggle over the eviction began' Be more specific on what happened
The article goes into depth later on and this is not reflected in the lead
expanded
'...the Scheveningen Pier was briefly occupied' Highlight the relevance of this point (say it was in protest), this sentence seems out of place without context.
done Mujinga (talk) 12:05, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'Carrying on from De Blauwe Aanslag' Was De Vloek occupied as a direct result/action of De Blauwe Aanslag? The current sentence implies this but is still unclear.
- yes - I'll add another cite to make that clear Mujinga (talk) 11:56, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
'decided to tolerate the occupation' Why?
- the quote says "The policy of the Municipality of The Hague with regard to temporarily vacant real estate offers the possibility to temporarily loan buildings to cultural initiatives, for example under certain conditions" so i'll add they saw it as a cultural project Mujinga (talk) 12:07, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
'hundreds of people' Specify if this was hundreds of squatters or members of the public who were attending
- the quote says "Wekelijks komen honderden mensen" = "Hundreds of people come every week" so I'd rather not go beyond the source Mujinga (talk) 12:08, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'break clause' Link or define this.
- linked! Mujinga (talk) 12:12, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
' they announced the Vloek' Who announced? The squatters I assume.
- "Other Vloek participants" which is the subject of the previous sentence. I'm hesitant to say "the squatters" since some went the legal path and some decided to resist the eviction
' paint bombs' link
- not seeing a link?
'They placed a shipping...' Who?
- "the Mobiele Eenheid (Dutch riot police)" which is the subject of the previous sentence Mujinga (talk) 12:16, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
'also requesting a fine for a fifth person' Clarify.
- not sure how to clarify, since the source says "Tegen een vijfde verdachte werd alleen een geldboete geëist." = "Only a fine was demanded against a fifth suspect."
Any follow-up on what happened to the building afterward?
- Hmm yes despite it being in the infobox as demolished, there wasn't a referenced update in the text so I've rectified that Mujinga (talk) 12:32, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No issues noted with the images. A reverse image search of the graffiti only finds the Flickr image online. Fair use rationale is given.

No dead links detected
Sources 1 and 5 are repeat citations with different cited quotes. Looks good, even if slightly unorthodox.
A bit of translating has been done, and sourcing looks good at face value. I can't determine if every source is reliable, as I don't know what the Dutch wiki's criteria are for reliability, but I'll take it on good faith.

Thanks for taking this on, should be able to reply to comments later today or tomorrow. Mujinga (talk) 10:10, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- That was fun working through the comments; I think I've answered everything now - Mujinga (talk) 12:45, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Mujinga: Perfect. I went ahead and did a bit of clarifying work on my own. Genuinely surprised that 'paint bomb' doesn't have its own article. I'll give the article one final pass before signing off on it, well done.
