On second thoughts, no I'm not, not yet anyway. Even the reliable sources are inconsistent. Anybody else got an opinion? cheers,

EchetusXe: Sorry for the wait, I became unexpectedly busy recently. Reference formatting is not part of the GA criteria so I can pass this article but remember to change the Google Translate URLs to their originals. Other than that, I am very happy with the changes (especially to § personal life) and can now confidently pass this article for GA status. Congrats! ツLunaEatsTuna(

Earwig says good to go.
Prose
The apostrophes are probably not needed for Green Football Weekend.
Do we have any sources saying how he got into football? If joining PSV Eindhoven was his introduction, do the sources say who convinced him to go, if he wanted to go himself etc.? Would be interesting.
In the first paragraph of § Club career, 'he' is used quite a lot successively. Interchange between using Ojo and 'he' here like the rest of the article.
I would split "and became a free agent" into its own sentence, i.e. "with new manager Jacky Mathijssen. Ojo became a free agent" – this reads less jaggedly IMO.
§ Early and personal life is a bit awkward to me since it consists largely of personal life content, which is usually at the bottom of biographies. Hmm, is it possible to merge his birth into § Club career and the rest into a new § Personal life-type section at the bottom of the article merged with § Style of play (as this section is also short but career relevant to the not guilty plea?). If it looks bad than ignore this suggestion! I mainly find it strange that the article opens up with a not guilty plea related to his football career before the reader can read about his actual career. Alternatively, could the plea sentence be merged into § Aberdeen?

Did you know nomination
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: The article has just gained GA status; the hook is definitely interesting, and both its halves are correctly cited; your QPQ submission looks good. I'm only worried about the hook's length, which is very close to the 200-character limit... Also, I think you should specify that this happened in 2023. Still, it's a nice entry!

EchetusXe: I would suggest to remove "Belgian footballer" (I don't think it's necessary here), and maybe re-word the last part as a more generic reference to environmentally friendly activities. Does it sound good?
