Assists
Why are there no assists included in the table with his career statistics?? Assists represent the most basic pieces of stats when analyzing an offensive player's team contribution. They are as important as goals, so how you guys have missed it out is beyond me. Just check these other footballer's stats: Thierry Henry Lionel Messi
They both include assists! Please do something about this because it doesn't do justice to the credibility of wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abz94 (talk • contribs) 17:58, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- The trouble is that assists are extremely subjective. Is an assist the last touch, the last meaningful touch, the last pass, what? There is no universal definition of an assist, so to include them here would open things up to interpretation through the use of different sources. – PeeJay 00:37, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
- FWIW, assist is an official stat kept by both the Premier League and La Liga, so I don't think there's much dispute over what constitutes an assist. Wikipedians tend to find Soccernet stats credible: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/22774/cristiano-dos-santos-aveiro-ronaldo?cc=5901 --Mosmof (talk) 01:12, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Copa del Rey top goalscorer: 1 (2011) Overwrite the award

Ronaldo
(Portuguese Footballer of the Year) awards was deleted why?

- He's actually won the CNID Best Portuguese Athlete Abroad award and not the CNID Footballer of the Year/LPFP Awards as was in the article. I could only find sources for him winning the CNID Best Portuguese Athlete Abroad for the 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2010-11 seasons. If there are no objections I'll add this to the article.

Misquote from Maradona; not supported by the source
Near the top of this entry, the following appears:
"In 2012, Diego Maradona declared that Ronaldo was "the best player on the planet."[6]"
The article does not quote Maradona saying this, and there is no evidence that Maradona said this elsewhere. On at least two well-publicized occasions in the last year, Maradona has stated that Messi is as good as himself and/or the best player in the world:
Not that Maradona's opinion is the final word; he should not be misquoted, however. The assertion that he praised Ronaldo as the world'd best player is factually incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.15.87.66 (talk) 18:38, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- You should read the article, before claiming that it is incorrect. “Portugal just about won a qualification playoff to get to the tournament,” Maradona told Times of India. “They recently were booed at home, losing to Turkey. This is despite having the best player on the planet in Cristiano Ronaldo. “As good as he is with Real Madrid, he often seems frustrated on the national level, as if he was surrounded by players who do little to assist him. “Coach Paulo Bento has arguably one of the weakest sides in this tournament. “Ronaldo is the only actual threat. If the Germans can stop Ronaldo, marking him with two or three players, they can also stop Portugal's only offensive threat,” — Preceding unsigned comment added by SideMaster (talk • contribs) 22:30, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- Of course he did, what you are referring to is a different interview. The article states facts, not opinions. Plus, football is a team sport and Ronaldo and Messi play in different positions, so it makes no sense to compare them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.92.93.32 (talk) 16:43, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Two days after Portugal's exit, it was revealed by Portugal teammate Nani, that coach Paulo Bento should not be blamed for Ronaldo's absence in the shootout. As it was Ronaldo's own decision to take the 5th penalty, Nani said "Cristiano Ronaldo demanded the last penalty".[1] [2].
Lead needs to be trimmed
The lead in this article is much too long, and the content too detailed. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section. There are significant portions of the lead that are repeated verbatim without further elaboration in the body of the article. The lead should highlight the main features of the article, but not provide exhaustive information. I attempted to trim part of the lead, but that has been reverted. Any suggestions for improving and consolidating the lead would be welcome. Thanks, Safehaven86 (talk) 16:51, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I agree that it needs to be trimmed, mostly from the final paragraph. You deleted information about his early career, which I believe was inappropriate. Surely instead of that entire final paragraph, we could just say that he holds numerous scoring records. – PeeJay 13:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- How about instead of the last paragraph, we just put: "Ronaldo holds numerous scoring records, including the records for most goals scored in a season for Real Madrid, most goals scored in a season in La Liga, most goals scored per minute in La Liga, first top European league player to reach 40 goals in a single season in two consecutive years, and the first player ever to score against every team in a single season in La Liga." I think we could further trim down the lead by consolidating the information about the awards he has won. Safehaven86 (talk) 14:24, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, definitely. It is certainly enough just to mention the awards rather than the details surrounding them. Details are for the main body of text, not the lead. – PeeJay 14:30, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- I think the penultimate paragraph could also be cut back a lot. – PeeJay 14:56, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- I have taken a stab at it, what do you think? "Ronaldo was the first player to win all four main PFA and FWA awards, doing so in 2007. In 2008, Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or. He placed second in the Ballon d'Or in 2007, 2009, and 2011. He was awarded the European Golden Shoe in both 2008 and 2011. In 2008, he won three of the four main PFA and FWA trophies and was named the FIFPro Player of the Year, World Soccer Player of the Year, Onze d'Or, and the FIFA World Player of the Year. In 2007 and 2008, Ronaldo was named FWA Footballer of the Year. Ronaldo was the inaugural winner of the FIFA Puskás Award in 2009." Safehaven86 (talk) 15:50, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- Looks good to me! – PeeJay 17:32, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- Cool, I made the change. I have another question about the lead, regarding this sentence: "In 1997, he made a move to Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal." What does "giants" mean in that sentence? Is that an error? Thanks. Safehaven86 (talk) 17:53, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- It means that they are one of the three biggest clubs in Portugal; it is not an error. – PeeJay 18:55, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Moved Maradona quote back into the lead. I can see why someone would want it to go, but not why it should. Does not violate Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section or Wikipedia:NPOV.
- I think that's fine for the lead, and certainly not against any policy. Looks like that info was removed a couple of days ago by RayDavid1. Safehaven86 (talk) 18:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Friendship with albert Fantrau
What about his friendship with Albert Fantrau... how far is it true... Why is not anything mentioned about him in his earlier life.... about his under 18 championship match when sporting lisbons manager came to meet him to offer him a chance in his academy ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.204.137.7 (talk) 20:08, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Playing position
He also played/plays as midfielder (central and attacking), from what i remember, but mainly during Man United --82.139.5.13 (talk) 18:27, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- Not on a regular basis. I mean, John O'Shea played in goal once, but I wouldn't describe him as a goalkeeper; likewise, Ronaldo is primarily a winger/centre-forward. – PeeJay 00:54, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- I wouldn't worry about where he plays - I'd just go with how his club and country classify him, which is forward (which includes both winger and centre forward), but not necessarily striker. --Mosmof (talk) 02:00, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- I have three games: PES 5, PES 2009 and PES 2012, and he's featured also having attacking midfielder as position. --82.139.5.13 (talk) 16:26, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- What some video game researcher thinks is irrelevant. – PeeJay 16:30, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Football video games use reliable sources too, when creators of football games EA (creators of FIFA series) and Konami (creators of PES), while looking which player has position, use them. --82.139.5.13 (talk) 21:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Would you care to enlighten me as to precisely the reliable sources that these football games use? As far as we know, they have their own researchers using their own opinions to determine positions, which is hardly reliable. – PeeJay 09:35, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- But really he's also attacking midfielder. You should see this. In this final of UCL 2008 he didn't play as "CF" (centre-forward), but as "LM" (left midfielder). BTW You must look sometimes at starting lineups of some important matches. --82.139.5.13 (talk) 17:18, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oh my god, i've did a total mistake !!!. What i wanted to say was side midfielder !!!. I was confused. --82.139.5.13 (talk) 22:20, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
- I've checked again my games and he's featured as side midfielder. BTW Pee Jay, i don't think Konami and EA use own researchers, they use of course reliable websites/sources, while having licensed for example La Liga and use licensed sources for positions. --82.139.5.13 (talk) 18:56, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

In the fourth paragraph it says that Ronaldo had the "most goals scored in a season in La Liga" however this is incorrect because his highest is only 46 while Lionel Messi holds the record with 50. http://messivsronaldo.net/ http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/22774/cristiano-dos-santos-aveiro-ronaldo?cc=5901 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/45843/lionel-messi?cc=5901

Goals per Game Ratio (25 August 2012)
The Goals per Game ratio must be added to the "Club" chart in the section Career statistics. This must be made only in the final column titled as "Total", in order to make it more summarized. The last "Total" column will contain three sub-columns, being these: Apps - Goals - GPG (Goals per Game).
By adding the above, it will be easier to compare the goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo with the goals scored by another player (e.g. Lionel Messi). It's way easier to compare the amount of goals scored in a given number of matches than the amount of goals scored overall. The GPG ratio will make it better.
Currently, the GPG's for each season are:
2002-03: 0,16 2003-04: 0,15 2004-05: 0,18 2005-06: 0,25 2006-07: 0,43 2007-08: 0,85 2008-09: 0,49 2009-10: 0,94 2010-11: 0,98 2011-12: 1,09 2012-13: 0,50
As we can see, the GPG's allow us to analyze better the ups and downs of the player throughout his career. — Preceding signed comment added by AndresSuescun (talk • contribs) 02:18, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- This seems like a WP:FOOTY issue than something specific to this article. Mosmof (talk) 03:22, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Philanthropy
I'm going to add this reference.
And the following text:
In November 2011, Ronaldo donated a pair of his football boots to be auctioned by Real Madrid's 'Clasico' network. They were sold for £2050 with the proceeds going to fund schools in Gaza, Palestine.

GA Review
GA toolbox |

Reviewing |
- This review is transcluded from Talk:Cristiano Ronaldo/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Reviewer: Lemonade51 (talk · contribs) 22:30, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
Unfortunately I have chosen to fail this article as I feel it doesn't meet the criteria. While it looks comprehensive, the prose is not of GA standard and referencing needs more work. My issues and suggestions are as followed:
- First off, I would advise you to have a look at other football articles, which are of GA or FA standard. Compare the style and structure, look at its reviewing process and take some ideas on board. Thierry Henry is a good example though it has passed an outdated FA criteria.
- The lead is far too long. At most there should be five paragraphs, but this has six. Though it acts as a good summary for his football career, there is next to nothing about his personal life, his role outside of football, how he took an interest in the sport. It's very stats originated → "Ronaldo was the first player in England to win all four main PFA and FWA awards", "...is the first top European league player to reach 40 goals in a single season in two consecutive years, fastest Real Madrid player to reach 100 league goals, and the first player to score against every team in a single season in La Liga," you need to pick and choose which records stand out.
- There are a few dead links, which means information cannot be validated. The criteria also asks for references to be stylised consistently, which in this case they aren't. Is it BBC Sport, or BBC Sport; The Guardian's location is given as UK in one source, London in another. Retrieval dates aren't given in some sources.
- "After I joined, the manager asked me what number I'd like. I said 28. But Ferguson said 'No, you're going to have No. 7,' and the famous shirt was an extra source of motivation. I was forced to live up to such an honour.", I know this quote is from Ronaldo, but you can't start the sentence like it is.
- "However he came to the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in the summer of 2003", shouldn't that be Sir Alex Ferguson
- "Ronaldo made his team debut as a 60th-minute substitute in a 4–0 home victory over Bolton Wanderers," and "He scored ten goals in all competitions, and fans voted him to his first FIFPro Special Young Player of the Year award in 2005." no reference to support either of these sentences.
- "He was sent off in the Manchester derby at the City of Manchester Stadium on 14 January 2006 (a game which United lost 3–1) for kicking City's former United player Andrew Cole", what does it need to be mentioned that Andy Cole used to be a United player?
- "In November and December 2006, Ronaldo received consecutive Barclays Player of the Month honours, becoming only the third player in Premier League history to do so after Dennis Bergkamp in 1997 and Robbie Fowler in 1996", that's not what the source says. He recieved the latter accolade in January 2007 for December's Player of the Month
- "He scored his 50th Manchester United goal against city rivals Manchester City on 5 May 2007" another sentence which isn't cited
- Is team-mates (He also helped him to work better with his team-mates) hypenated or not (...aimed a green laser at Ronaldo and United teammate Nani)?
- "On 26 June 2009, Real Madrid confirmed that Ronaldo would join the club on 1 July 2009 from Manchester United for £80 million (€94 million) becoming the most expensive footballer in history,[82] after agreeing terms and signing a six-year contract", that's not the case now, I'm sure Gareth Bale is the most expensive player?
- Be careful with overlinking. Ferguson's name has been wikilinked twice.
- Avoid quoting full sentences, paraphrase when nessesary.
- What makes this a reliable source? Or this, or this?
I went as far as his Real Madrid career because it would be pointless to list every problem I could find. Just because the article looks comprehensive doesn't mean it will pass a GA or FA review; sources must be reliable and valid and it must read well. I would advise you (should you wish to have another crack at GAN) to focus cleaning up the text, condensing his time at Real Madrid so it doesn't read like a game-by-game account. Go over the sources and make sure the material in the article is covered by the sources. Have the article copyedited preferably before sending it over here again. This is good in parts, but for a celebrated footballer like Ronaldo it can be more comprehensive in certain areas; he has an autobiography out and has done documentaries which would clear up some missing information. Feel free to have this article reassessed if you think the review is wrong. Lemonade51 (talk) 22:30, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
Records
I'm a Cristiano's fan, but is wrong to put a record that dont belong to Cristiano, like: Most goals scored in a season in La Liga, most goals scored per minute in La Liga. That records, now belongs to Messi, beating 46 goals of Ronaldo, with 50. So, please remove that records of the Main page.

Name pronunciation
Isn't it [kɾɨɕˈtjɐnu ʁuˈnaɫdu ðuɕ ˈsɐ̃n̥̆tuz ~ ˈʃɐ̃n̥̆tuz ɜˈve(ː/j)ɾu ~ ɜˈvəjɾu]? Here in Rio de Janeiro (the closest Brazilian dialect to Portugal in prosody, among some other characteristics) it would render [kɾiɕˈtʃjɜ̃nu/kɾiɕˈtɕɜ̃nu ʀ[õ~u]ˈnawðu ðuj ~ ðuʃ ~ ðus ˈsɜ̃n̆tuz ɜˈveːɽu ~ ɜˈvejɾu]. I'm not suggesting those transcriptions, I know that the guides on Wikipedia are only a gross phonemic approximation of Portuguese pronunciation and such details would confuse rather than help the average user, my point here is that having the stress syllable (sílaba tónica/tônica) of Cristiano on the A instead of a TIA seems to be a typical non-carioca Brazilian thing as "they speak as if singing" (an Italian opinion, not mine), this is something I would never imagine a Portuguese doing. Lguipontes (talk) 00:33, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Error under records
The record entry under Spain stating that Cristiano Ronaldo is the first player ever to score against every team in a single season in La Liga is wrong. It has been achieved on 7 occasions before, in 1928-29 by Paco Bienzobas, in 1929-30 Guillermo Gorostiza 1929-30, in 1930-31 by Luis Regueiro, in 1933-34 by Isidro Lángara, in 1940-41 by Pruden, in 1942-43 by Mariano Martín and in 1950-51 by César Rodríguez.
He is however the first player to achieved this under current league format with 20 teams, the others did it with 10, 14 and 16 teams. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.55.197.33 (talk) 20:17, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Correct some records
Please correct this errors:
"While left footed, he's able to control the ball just as well with his right foot." This is the wrong way around. Ronaldo is naturally right footed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtudsbury (talk • contribs) 16:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
As of 23 December 2012 Most goals scored in a single calendar year for club and country: 63 goals (2012) (fifth highest all-time record, behind Zico (71), Pelé (75), Gerd Müller (85) and Lionel Messi (91))[294] World
This is not a record abolute neither relative. He scored 63 goals in 2012, and Messi 91. Where is the record?
First top European league player to reach 40 goals in a single season in two consecutive years
This is false right now. Messi is already 41 whereas Cristiano is 27. So its a shared record. Unless he scores 13 goals in 10 matches, he won't be absolute recordman again
The first player ever to score against every team in a single season in La Liga
Be ready for next match against Celta, where Messi will probably score as well, and so he will share this record with Cristiano. But Messi will be the only one scoring all teams in a single season in-a-row (so he needs less matches, and so must be placed first in case of draw). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.57.57.223 (talk) 01:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Cristiano Ronaldo missed five of Portugal's 12 qualifying matches, and it is coincidence Carlos Quieroz's side failed to sercure an autimatic place without their talisman. That said, Ronaldo has struggled to replicate his scintillating club form while wearing international colours. He failed to score in the current qualifying campaian, but after netting 25 goals in his last season at Manchester United, he scored nine in six games following his record-breaking $120 million transfer to Real Madrid.

Record Transfer
There is no official source which can prove that Bale cost €100m. In fact, many Spanish newspapers and Real Madrid officials claim he cost €91m while British newspapers claim he cost €100m. So there is no actual proof that Bale really is the world record transfer. Yet, on Wikipedia it is stated as a fact! Maybe this should be discussed?
- On the Gareth Bale talkpage have we discussed this issue. Because neither Tottenham or Madrid have confirmed the actual fee, have we added both the €91m fee (reported by Spanish newspapers and Real Madrid TV), and the €100 fee (reported by British newspapers) on the Gareth Bale article (see third paragraph and the first paragraph under Real Madrid). I have also added "reportedly" in the first paragraph on the CR article, because CR's fee is confirmed by Madrid (and that would make him still the most expensive player ever) as Bale's fee is not confirmed by either club. Also adding this source (http://as.com/diarioas/2013/09/06/english/1378472217_751539.html), already added on the Bale article, that states that RM insisted that CR is still the most expensive player ever.

Section 5.6 (Outside Football -> Media) should refer to Viva Ronaldo, the Official Cristiano Ronaldo Community. I suggest the following edit:
Cristiano Ronaldo’s official community is Viva Ronaldo, which creates a social experience around Cristiano Ronaldo and his fans, available 24/7 and featuring exclusive content. Fans can play trivia challenges and follow live matches, supporting and predicting Cristiano Ronaldo’s in-game actions to collect points and rewards, interact with Cristiano Ronaldo himself and follow his social activity, among many other features - gaining access to exciting prizes such as match tickets, autographed memorabilia or the chance to meet the player. Viva Ronaldo is accessible as a website, iOS app, Facebook page and Twitter account.

Re: "widely regarded as"
We should always avoid using the weasel words, "widely regarded", especially if the justification is based on his winning Ballon d'Or, which would constitute WP:SYNTH. I don't see the problem with simply stating the facts - his awards and records - and letting the readers make the value judgments and not introducing inherently unverifiable claims. Editing to add Also, the practice of stacking cites to support the "widely regarded" claim is WP:OR. If a claim is strong enough, then it should only require one good source, and it's easy to make a "widely" claim by collecting opinions that agree with each other, but that's not NPOV. Mosmof (talk) 03:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- I should add that we should avoid making any time-sensitive statements in the lede as much as possible - he'll eventually not be considered the best player in the world. But he will not stop being the winner of awards and holder of records. An encyclopedia should list things that have happened, and not a collection of what some unidentified people are thinking about the subject at this current moment. Mosmof (talk) 04:26, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with you. We all know that he will be consider as one of the greatest players in football history when he retires, but we should wait until it. He is at his peak of his carrer and has several years infront of him. Like you said, he wont be considered the best player in the world, it is still Messi, but he was the best player in 2013. There will always be argument about who is the best player of this generation (although the majority will say Messi as he is seen by many as the best player ever), so we should avoid "Widely regarded as one of the two best footballer in today's game and one of the greatest of all time" in the lead until he retires or is not at his peak longer. SideMaster (talk) 20:06, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- Also wanted to add, Ronaldo actually received less than 30% of first-place votes from the media (Ribéry got 80 out of 173, Ronaldo got 48), which casts further doubt onto the "widely regarded" claim. Mosmof (talk) 20:33, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Ronaldo had a total of [www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25705654 1,365 points], ahead of Messi (1,205) and Ribery (1,127). There were 184 coaches, 184 national captains and 173 media members that voted. The votes from coaches and captains (368 total), relative to the 173 media members, changed the winner. As you claim that Ronaldo got less then 30% first place votes from media, then many of these 368 must have voted Ronaldo as their first vote. More people = more widely. So I see no doubt to the "widely regarded" claim. SideMaster (talk) 08:22, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
- But that illustrates why we should avoid using the phrase altogether - it's murky and can be interpreted to mean whatever you want it to mean. You can make a similarly plausible claims that Messi and Ribéry are widely regarded as the best player in the world, and on the flipside, it's not untrue that Ronaldo is "widely regarded" as an arrogant prick who cares about his own statistics ahead of the team. I think there's too much POV and synthesis required to conclude that a player is "widely regarded as the best", a phrase that's not as meaningful as simply stating the facts. Mosmof (talk) 14:28, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
- If your argument holds, Mosmof, then I should be able to copy/paste it into all of the following articles that also use weasel words in their introductions: Rafael Nadal, Lebron James, Lionel Messi, Pele, Zinedine Zidane, and roughly every widely praised sports figure on Wikipedia. One of the sources that you removed was from a FIFA press release which asserted that "Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the best player in the world for the second time...". If you'd prefer, I could refer such a quote in the introduction which is entirely fact based, that FIFA released that statement. On another note, in 2012, Messi received 41.6% of the vote for the Ballon d'Or which doesn't constitute a majority, whereas Ronaldo received 23.68%...a 17.92% difference. Not much of a difference as I see it and certainly not a consensus. However, those numbers are now meaningless as they are from last year and don't reflect today's consensus. In the end, I agree that weasel words and weasel phrases should be avoided, but that rule seems to apply only to Cristiano Ronaldo which is clearly not good work by Wikipedia. Georgiamode01 (talk) 04:11, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- It's not a hard and fast rule, but my issue was that you equated one set of voting results as a referendum on the feelings of unnamed masses to make an ultimately unremarkable, but still grand sounding point. It's not that you should never say "widely regarded", but it should be used with caution, and using an award or stacking cites was either POV or OR. And if something that's not best practice is used in other articles, that's not a good reason to use it in this article.
- And the FIFA press release was used to support the claim that Ronaldo was widely regarded as the best player in the world, which I removed from the article, so I'm not sure if that's a problem. Plus, we have plenty of independent sources that tell us Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, so I don't think we lose anything by not using the press release. Mosmof (talk) 02:26, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

I want the same standards that are used for all the other articles that I have listed (and all others), to be applied to the Cristiano Ronaldo article or conversely. I'd be more than happy to remove the weasel words from all of those articles using the very argument that you have presented. However, I'm more than certain that this will be met with contention. So how do we proceed?
I mentioned the following FIFA press release (looks slightly different than the one previously referenced) http://www.fifa.com/ballondor/news/newsid=2260390/
The article certainly adds to Cristiano Ronaldo's intro in that FIFA makes a significant declaration that will be their (along with the press) motto describing Ronaldo for the next year. In the intro, the suggestion I mentioned could look something like "After winning the 2013 Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo was 'named the best player in the world for the second time' by FIFA". Again, entirely fact based (the statement has a contributor...is only attributed to the contributor) and doesn't generalize to a consensus that doesn't exist.

Controversy in FIFA Ballon d'or 2013
Article has a lack of facts around the controversy of FIFA Ballon d'Or 2013. It was the first time that votes for the FIFA Ballon d'Or 2013 were extended two weeks, and Cristiano Ronaldo without winning anything in 2013 (neither collective nor individually) beat Franck Ribéry who leaded Bayern München to achieve a historical treble in 2013 and won UEFA title for the best European player (where Ronaldo only got 3 votes). Of course it is not the first time that UEFA MVP does not win Ballon d'Or (as ocurred with Lionel Messi and Andrés Iniesta in 2012), but at least Messi had won the European Golden Boot that year with a historical record of 50 goals.
Anyway, what I meant is that Cristiano Ronaldo did not deserve FIFA Ballon d'Or 2013 and it was the most controversial FIFA Ballon d'Or at all times, so the article should show at least a couple of lines explaining that if Wikipedia aims to be objective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.21.28.240 (talk) 02:11, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

If you're suggesting that we just take stats within the article and extrapolate them into claims about records, then that would be WP:SYNTH.

There are neither a source to confirm that Pele even scored in each of the 90 minutes.

- It is still record, it can be even mentioned as 'shared with pele' if he has done so, Ronaldo has done that so I think it should be mentioned as this is an article about Cristiano Ronaldo, whether he is the first or second doesn't matter as long as it is a record — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.49.44.182 (talk) 18:29, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- But the point is, it's not a record that's recognized by any sanctioning body nor is it given much coverage by media outlet. And it's not so much a record as it is a trivia quiz answer. Mosmof (talk) 18:39, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Height
He's been measured with a laser at 1.85 m on the Castrol challenge, and is officially listed on the Real website as 1.85 m. Please update. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.215.141.237 (talk) 14:57, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Edit Request under Philathropy section
multi-millionaire superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has shown a side of himself that few get to see – by donating more than £50,000 from his bulging wallet to pay for a desperately ill 10-month-old baby's operation.
Erik Ortiz Cruz was born with a neurological disorder that causes him to have up to 30 epileptic fits a day.
Surgery is the only solution to his condition but the boy's family has been unable to meet massive hospital bills with each test carried out costing around £5,000 (6,000 euros) and surgery likely to run to £50,200 (60,000 euros).
So big-hearted Real Madrid star Ronaldo, touched by the boy's local community's attempts to raise the money themselves, stepped in to fund the life changing medical care.
The player was at first asked to donate boots and a shirt to a fund-raising auction but decided to go the extra mile and foot the bill. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Praveshjain1991 (talk • contribs) 10:39, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done Please specify the edit you'd like to see. The above looks like it's been copy-pasted from a news article that's been written by Ronaldo's publicist. Mosmof (talk) 12:28, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
In March, 2014 Cristiano was asked to donate his boots to raise money for the operation of 10 month old Erik Ortiz Cruz. Ronaldo, however went the extra mile and paid for the $83,000 operation in full. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Praveshjain1991 (talk • contribs) 10:18, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Goals in Real Madrid & record
Please resum the overall goals which he scored in Real Madrid, as of 2 April 2014. (after the 1st QF against Dortmund), it is 246, NOT 247 (somebody maybe miscalculated it).
In 2013 he scored 15 goals in Champions League and 10 in the Portugal national team. It is 25 goals in international matches (clubs and national team), which achievment is a world record (shared with Lionel Messi and Vivian Woodward). For further details see Messi's wiki-page.

9th Highest Paid Athlete
Should we add into the article that he is the 9th highest paid athlete in the world? [[1]] Adamh4 (talk) 16:24, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
The Guardian Rankings
Ronaldo was ranked the 2nd best footballer in the world by The Guardian, this might be good information to include, especially when considering the Messi - Ronaldo debate. [[2]] Adamh4 (talk) 16:35, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

please add in "Honours" of Cristiano Ronaldo: FIFA World Cup 2006: 4th place; for all his achievements, his contribution to the Portugal National Football team is often underestimated, though he have'nt performed that badly at international level/tournaments. thank you. Imrul87 (talk) 17:11, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think a 4th place is an achievement that has to be added. Winner or runner-up is common around here and maybe third places. Kante4 (talk) 17:20, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
