This is going to be tricky and I might not be able to fix it.

Google had remove ratings for Article type and I can’t find a suitable one to replace it

This is a difficult choice. Yesterday I read that if you use an inappropriate type of scheme (for example, a “book” in articles), Google may apply sanctions to the site.

Sad to say NewsArticle, BlogPosting doesn’t work as well. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57998909/sdtt-error-service-is-not-a-known-valid-target-type-for-the-itemreviewed-prope.
