"Look-Out" etc, all other names are usually put in bold with a redirect created to this article.

"the Eerste Klasse Noord" you'll need to tell us what that is.

"players earned 15 guilders per win, 10 per draw and 5 per loss" convert to a more recognisable currency and inflate.

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]
