What a ride that article was. QPQ not needed. Earwig has a high score for copyvio detection, but that's entirely due to Messi's paragraph-long statement in the "Departure and Japan trip" section, which has an inline citation to the flagged source. Referencing is adequate and length/newness criteria fulfilled. Hook is definitely interesting and cited in source, not cited inline as exact phrasing but separately so. Good to go.

- @Cypp0847 and Juxlos: I have tagged the article for copyediting, as there are grammar-related issues throughout the article (tenses, for instance, are very often incorrect). This needs to be resolved before a DYK run. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
  - @Cypp0847: any progress on addressing the prose issues? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:28, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
  - FYI, I'm working on a copyedit and will try to have it posted later today or tomorrow. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:21, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
  - Okay, finished my copyedit. I removed the flag icons per MOS:FLAG and shortened one of the really long quotations. The infobox image, while taken from a video released under CC, contains elements which are definitely under copyright. I suggest taking a low-resolution version (100k pixels) and moving it to en.wiki with a fair use rationale, and using that. Please ping me (here or elsewhere) if you have any questions regarding my edits. – Reidgreg (talk) 05:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
    - @Juxlos and AirshipJungleman29: Reidgreg has indicated above that the copyright concerns have been resolved. Can you confirm this, and give this a green tick? If not, what else needs to be done? Z1720 (talk) 00:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
      - To be clear, I addressed the copyediting concerns, not copyright. – Reidgreg (talk) 03:15, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
      - There is still uncited material, indicated by {{cn}} tags. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:09, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
        this has been unimproved for a week, marking as rejected. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:45, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
        @AirshipJungleman29: Hi. Two marked {{cn}} tags are now resolved. Sorry for the delay as I have been extremely busy recently.~~ J. Dann 11:13, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
        I still don't think the article is in fit condition to run; I think there are excessive WP:FANCRUFT/WP:Sensationalism throughout the article (see e.g. the numerous tabloid-esque images), and poor writing ("widespread international media attention for the 'mega event' as the "Messi Mess"", "The debacle continued to swell throughout the week", and continuing tense issues like "The government is said to have invited" etc.). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:32, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
