  • Review as follows: article is long enough at 9199 characters, well-sourced as it already passed GA. New enough, as it was nominated for DYK a day after it passed GA. Hook is cited to a reliable source, with the quote provided from the source matching the hook. The hook itself is very interesting and quirky, as it is not that often that a single train (not a train type) has its own Facebook group. All good from me!

Hello. I wanted to PR so I can improve this article to FA status. I already improved this article to GA status.

What I'm trying to understand is why this topic is notable? It is quite common for passenger cars in transit systems to be converted to utility use once they're past their useful life. The only thing I can see about this car that's different from any other utility car is that a bunch of trainspotters started a facebook page about it and two (as far as I can tell) non-notable musicians wrote a non-notable song about it. I'm not being sarcastic here, I truly want to know what makes this notable. Most of the sources are in Czech which I can't read. That's not a fundamental problem, but as a practical matter it does make it difficult for me to peruse the sources. Perhaps you could point me at specific sources I should look at using the automated translation tools available to me to satisfy the question of notability?

DP kontakt is a magazine published by the Prague City Transport Company, the operator of the tram. Cos (X + Z) 01:20, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
