  • "Look-Out" etc, all other names are usually put in bold with a redirect created to this article.
    • Done
  • "was founder member" a founder member.
    • Done
  • "the Eerste Klasse Noord" you'll need to tell us what that is.
    • Expanded a bit
  • "partook" took part
    • Done
  • "home stadion" stadium.
    • Done
  • "other juveniles from" young players?
    • Done
  • "finished 7th out of 7 sides" -> "bottom of the league of seven teams in their inaugural season".
    • Done
  • Why were the Netherlands playing an English club team? Was it some kind of exhibition match??
    • It was; added
  • "players earned 15 guilders per win, 10 per draw and 5 per loss" convert to a more recognisable currency and inflate.
    • Done
  • The article suffers a bit from recentism. All three history sections are roughly the same size yet the first section covers 66 years, the second 35 and the third 18. Needs more balance.
    • A bit of a cheap trick but I amended the year ranges in the headings; the second and third sections have about the same year spans now. Overall, the emphasis lays of course a bit more on the club's heyday during the 1980s and the situation in the 2010s.
  • "local DWM factory" what was made there?
    • Added
  • "eliminated on aggregate" did they play in a two-legged tie then?
    • Yes; Veendam won 2–1 at home but lost 3–0 in the return match
  • "of €3,2 million" 3.2
    • Done
  • "The club dissolved" was dissolved.
    • Done
  • "reconstruction of " made by instead of "of"?
    • Done
  • "badges throughout their history" but you only mention the 2011 one?
    • The refs (at least the ones I have) do not exactly reflect what the former badges did look like, but I added some info about the one used from 1997 to 2011.
  • "a blue calotte which" that's a dab link.
    • Fixed
  • ""for a fee of €3,2 million.[23]" didn't you already say this?
    • Shortened
  • In Honours, "Eerste Klasse Noord" is overlinked.
    • Fixed

That's all I have on a quick read. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 15:14, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
