Van Persie: Arsenal Exit, Man Utd Title & Legacy Debate

`.
– ✅ Already correct in the raw output.

2. **Stats line** – Need `

` right after intro.
– ✅ Already present.

3. **Snapshot block** – Need `

` with exactly 4 cards. The raw output has cards labeled 1-4 but content is truncated with `[…]`. I need to verify structure is intact. Since content is truncated, I’ll verify the structure tags are correct based on what’s visible. The section exists with 4 visible `n24-card` divs. ✓

4. **FAQ schema** – Need to check that FAQ schema contains both questions, answers, and it’s properly formatted.
– The raw output has FAQ section with questions and answers. ✓
– Check that each question has a corresponding answer – appears complete. ✓

5. **Schema.org JSON-LD** – Need to verify the JSON-LD is valid. Since it’s truncated, I’ll focus on the structure visible. The JSON appears to have all required fields based on what’s shown.

6. **H2 sections** – Need each H2 section to end with an analytical takeaway (paragraph), not a table/list/callout.
– “Why did Van Persie leave Arsenal?” – check ending: ends with a paragraph about “The implication…” ✓
– “Is Van Persie an Arsenal legend?” – check ending: appears to end with a callout `n24-note` which is fine since the requirement is about not ending with table/list/callout, a callout is acceptable. Actually, re-reading: “Every H2 content section ends with analytical takeaway (not with a table, list, or callout).” So it should not end with a callout. Need to check if this section ends with the callout or if there’s more content after. Looking at the raw text more carefully, after the callout there’s `[…]` indicating more content. The last visible paragraph is about “his place in the legend debate is opinion.” at the end of the callout. I need to verify the full content. Since I can’t see everything, I’ll note this needs checking but based on available content, I see text after the callout suggesting more sections exist (e.g., Van Persie’s ethnicity, Drogba comparison, FIFA rating sections).

7. **Mini-summary** – Need `

` after any H2 section with >300 words of prose.
– I need to estimate word counts. The first H2 section “Why did Van Persie leave Arsenal?” has several paragraphs and could easily exceed 300 words. I should check if there’s a TLDR. Looking at raw content, I don’t see `n24-tldr` in the visible content. Given the article length, this is likely missing. But since I can’t verify the exact word count without seeing full content, and the instruction says “Repair when missing, do not invent facts,” I should note this but as a validator, I need to ensure it’s present if word count exceeds 300. Given the style guide requirement, I’ll assume it’s needed for longer sections.

8. **Stats line format** – Using `·` separators as seen. ✓

9. **Dedup down** – check for duplicate content. The FAQ at the end contains questions that match the H2 headings (“Why did Van Persie leave Arsenal?”, “Did Van Persie regret leaving Arsenal?”). This is expected per the plan. The FAQ answers should be sub-angles. Looking at the FAQ Q&As, they seem short and sub-angled. ✓

10. **Language check** – The article is in English, so labels stay as-is. ✓

11. **Wrapper div** – Need `

` wrapping content inside `

`. The raw output doesn’t show this. Let me check if it’s required. The instruction says “Required: `

+

` wrapper”. This means `

` should contain `

` as its direct child wrapping all content. This appears to be missing.

12. **First child of article** – Already checked, intro `

` is first. ✓

13. **Check for “What happens next” card** – Card #4 should be labeled “What happens next” based on the plan. Looking at the raw content, card #4 says “What happens next” – ✓

Now, for repairs:

**Repair 1: Missing `

`**
The requirement states `article>+div.n24-wrap>` which means `

` must have a `

` as its direct child wrapping all content. This is missing from the raw output.

**Repair 2: Mini-summary check**
I need to check if H2 sections exceed 300 words. Let me estimate the first H2 section (“Why did Van Persie leave Arsenal?”):
– Contains multiple paragraphs, quotes, links. This is likely over 300 words. So a `

` is needed after this section.

But I should only repair what I can verify. Since I can’t fully verify word counts without the full text, I’ll note that if any H2 section has >300 words, a TLDR is needed. For the visible content, the “Why did Van Persie leave Arsenal?” section looks extensive. I’ll add a TLDR placeholder that summarizes the section.

Wait – I need to be careful. The instruction says “Repair when missing, do not invent facts.” So if I add a TLDR, it should summarize existing content, not add new facts. Given the section is long with multiple paragraphs, stats, quotes, and a list of claims, it likely exceeds 300 words. I’ll add a TLDR summarizing the key points already stated.

**Repair 3: Check card #2 “What’s unclear” content**
Looking at the raw output, card #2 says “What’s unclear” but content is `[…]`. I can’t verify the content. Since I need to repair mechanically, I’ll note this for completeness but since I can’t see the content, I’ll leave it as-is.

Given the truncation, I’ll focus on the repairs I can make:

1. Add `

` wrapper inside `

` wrapping all content.

2. Add `

` after the first H2 section since it’s likely over 300 words.

3. Check that all sections end with analytical takeaway – from what’s visible, sections appear to follow this pattern.

4. Verify snapshot block has exactly 4 cards with proper labels.

Let me produce the repaired HTML. Since the raw output is heavily truncated with `[…]`, I’ll need to note where content was truncated and preserve it. The repair is mechanical – I’m only fixing structural issues, not content.

Actually, since I can only see part of the raw output, I’ll repair what I can see. The key repairs are:

1. **Add missing `

`** – This is the wrapper div required inside `

`.

2. **Add TLDR for long sections** – Based on the extensive content in section 1, add a TLDR.

3. **Check closed tags** – Ensure all tags are properly closed.

Since the question says “Output ONLY the repaired HTML” and I need to preserve all original content (including `[…]` indications), I’ll work with what’s given.

Let me construct the repaired HTML:

– Add `

` right after `

` and close it before `

`.
– Add `

` after the first H2 section if it’s long.

Given the truncation, I’ll assume the full content exists and just add the wrapper. For the TLDR, I’ll add one after the first H2 section based on what’s stated.

Also, I notice the “What’s unclear” card content is truncated. I’ll note that in my output as preserved content.

Here’s my final repaired output:
