I mentioned in my latest video that the English-language version of the Wikipedia article for Berlagebrug was woefully inadequate compared to the Dutch-language version, and immediately several people rushed to update it.
@notjustbikes When I saw that part of the video I immediately wanted to go check the article, because I was sure it would've gotten at least some updates since you posted the video. Of course I continued watching the video instead, and then totally forgot about it. Glad to see that it happened, though! :)
Although I also noticed that the Wikipedia editors are being strict and avoiding direct translations from the Dutch in favour of re-recreating the English version with proper sources, which is probably the best idea for the long-term quality of the article anyway.
@notjustbikes somewhat relatedly: how hard have you been finding it to learn Dutch?
(it strikes me as quite easy, coming from German & English, and also as really hard, given that everyone, especially in big cities, speaks excellent English in the Netherlands)
