Prose

• "The station is located under the street which shares its name, next to a square." – recommend changing to "The station is located under the street which shares its name, next to a town square." But also;

Done.

• Is it known what the square is or was called? If the name is not informative enough for readers, you could put [example] "Voorbeeldplein town square" so that readers know it is a town square.

The source literally calls it the pleintje at Wibautstraat, so it's small square presumably without a name.

Noted.

• "members of the municipality council were given a ride from Amsterdam Amstel to Weesperplein." – Weesperplein metro station?

Added wikilink.

• "The metro line, and Wibautstraat with it," – change to "The metro line, including Wibautstraat,"

Done.

• "A 2006 study" – do you mean 2016? Also;

Nope, 2006. The source cited isn't the report itself.

My bad!!

• State which agency conducted the study.

It's a company called Peutz, don't know if it's worth mentioning as it's nowhere on enwiki/nlwiki or wikidata.

Fair enough—I agree with your point.

• "through the speakers of underground metro stations as a test." – What were they testing?

Presumably how playing music would turn out to be and what effect it has on the riders; "Het GVB zegt met de muziek de reisbeleving op metrostations te willen verbeteren".

Ah, I assumed so. I do not think there is a better way of phrasing it in the article. Oh, and @Styyx: Sorry, one more thing I just noticed then it should be good to go for GA status. Is there any update available on this? Do they still play the music? This is not presently clear in the article.

LunaEatsTuna, from experience; they do still play music on the 5 underground stations, but there isn't a source for it.

I see. Never mind then, we must abide by the rules of OR after all.

• "Prior to the second renovation, there were a lot of drug addicts inside." – awkward sentence; change to something like "Prior to the second renovation, the empty stations were commonly used by drug addicts." or similar.

Reworded; the "infested by drug addicts" is only for Wibautstraat and there is nowhere stated that the station was empty when they were there.

Nice work!

• "making the area feel unsafe" – state for whom; I presume the local residents or passengers?

Yes, added.

Refs

All sources are RS. Ref 10, a YouTube video, is usable per its uploader being an RS source for video content. As there are not many citations used repeatedly I decided to spotcheck all pages cited in Ouwendijk 1977 and pick the rest at random. No concerns with refs 2, 7, 8, 14, 16, 17 and 22—they all support the article's content.

• I could not seem to verify ref 9; I see no mention of a metro first being rolled into the tunnels on 25 January 1977.

Oops, it's page 18, not 14.

Other

• Add a WP:Short description

Added.

Infobox, coords, navs, cats and external link all good.

Thanks for the WP:ALT text!
