An S1/S2 unit in Amsterdam

• ... that the S1/S2 rolling stock of the Amsterdam Metro was also a tram? Source: Article.
  • Reviewed: Grant Nel
  • Comment: Possibility of changing the "was" to "is" as one unit is preserved (and another is still temporarily being used for shunting).

Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Just some copy changes to reduce redundancies. It's been six months, so maybe you'll spot something, too. Ping when addressed. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:50, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Sammi Brie, sorry for the delay. I appreciate the review. I've gone through the article to fix the issues. Styyx (talk) 15:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

Lead

• This line, named the Amstelveen Line and later numbered as 51, was initially expected to be a full metro line, but was later changed to a tram-metro hybrid named sneltram (express tram) due to protests against the metro in the preceding decades. This has a WP:CINS error, but I'd rather have the comma. This line, named the Amstelveen Line and later numbered as 51, was initially expected to be a full metro line, but it was later changed to a tram-metro hybrid named sneltram (express tram) due to protests against the metro in the preceding decades.

Done.

• At Zuid, the trains converted to 600 V DC via overhead lines, used by the city's tram network and served Amstelveen as a faster tram service. Complete the appositive with a comma after "network".

Done.

• most issues were resolved and the GVB ran coupled trains on the line Add a comma after "resolved" CINS

Added; this sentence was also altered.

• persistent issue throughout the years Redundant construction: drop "throughout the years".

Done.

Operational history

• There were problems with the retractable footboards caused by a design error, which were later fixed by BN for free. "error" / "were fixed". Should be "was fixed".

Done.

• "shorted" should be "shortened" or "truncated"

The hell was I thinking lol

• "7 months" to "seven months", and no need to say "September" as well

Done.

• The sharp edges, coupling mechanism and the lack of a wheel cover can cause people to end up under the tram and lead to serious or fatal injuries even at lower speeds. since these trains no longer run, try "could cause" instead of "can cause". There are probably a few places where this sort of tense shift is needed.

Done.

• Two people were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation, but were discharged quickly after their injuries were determined to be minor Remove in comma CinS

Done.

• went for through a technical upgrade for the final time replace "went for through" with "underwent a final"

Done.

Design

• Each unit consists of two 15-metre (49 ft) cars designated as A and B, and has a total length Either drop the comma or complete the appositive with a comma after "cars".

Done.

• The wheelbase is 1,900 millimetres (75 in) long and each wheel has a diameter of 690 millimetres (27 in). Try The wheelbase is 1,900 millimetres (75 in) long, with each wheel having a diameter of 690 millimetres (27 in).

Done.
