Career Beginnings

Ronaldo actually began his career with São Cristóvão FR, yet failed to play a single game, he was there from 1991 to 1993. I think that should be mentioned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.17.104 (talk) 22:44, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Recent controversy

No mention of his recent misadventure in Brazil with three trans-gender prostitutes. Surely this is of note in the personal life section...

Please add this reference, thank you. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7374317.stm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.94.192.200 (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't think this is something that should be included in an encyclopedia entry. It was tabloid news and was forgotten within months. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.3.223 (talk) 15:19, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

How can the transvestite incident (non incident) have as much written about it as his career at Real Madrid? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.40.190 (talk) 21:36, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Wrong date of birth

Ronaldo was born in september 2323423423423332, not in september 18 as show on his page. 189.102.111.78 (talk) 05:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

See here. - Dudesleeper / Talk 13:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

he was born on september 18 but since his father couldnt afford money for a birth certificate his "official" birthdate was pushed up a few days until he came up with the money. -- ref. Ronaldo by James Mosley —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.236.187 (talk) 13:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Someone should that source, Ronaldo!: 21 Years of Genius and 90 Minutes That Shook the World by Wensley Clarkson, then. --Rajah (talk) 12:23, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

short article?

Why was the article cut that short? I liked it the way it was before. Would someone please restore that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.206.232 (talk) 14:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Goals with Corinthians not updated

Ronaldo currently has 8 goals in 10 appearances with Corinthians but in the section on the right side it still says he 0 appearances and 0 goals

Yes, can we please edit his statistics which now says 10 goals in 13 apps? http://www.goal.com/en/news/8/main/2009/05/07/1252301/brazil-coach-dunga-has-his-eye-on-ronaldo —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fiscerpool (talk • contribs) 10:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Honours

Somebody does not except changes in the honours section. Only the Win of the Champions League 2007 with Milan is discussable. The Win of UEFA Super Cup as well as the Win of FIFA Club World Cup are a fact. Because in the season 2007/2008 Ronaldo was a full member of the team not tied to any other team. So please change this! In my opion it is possible to state the Champions League as well, but I really question the win of LA LIGA 2007, because he wasn't a player of Real Madrid any more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.186.229.237 (talk) 08:53, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree on the UEFA Super Cup and on the Club World Cup. He has won them. He was in the squad, but didn´t play. But nonetheless even if he didn´t play he has rightfully won the trophy. He has not won the UEFA Champions League, because he played with Madrid that term. And the La Liga 2007 is his title too, because he was a part of the squad before his departure to Milan and he contributed to the victory. So guys these are the rules about trophys. Now please change the article, so that everything is correct. Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.204.105 (talk) 14:57, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Ronaldo has won an official Campeonato Paulista MVP award, which is his first individual award since 2006. It would be very nice if this was on there.(75.134.115.174 (talk) 23:44, 6 May 2009 (UTC))

In English we do not say Spanish League we say La Liga. The person who watches over this article is ignorant to that! Same goes for the Copa del Rey, Coppa Italia... Why put KNVB Cup in the honours if you do not put the proper name of anything else. By your logic it should be Dutch Cup. And I edited everything so that they would have links to their years and spent a lot of time doing that, and then it was over written. What is your problem with having it link to the other wikipedia page. Dont put the [[]] around the league names too then if you do not want them around the year. This is ridiculous and a world class player should not have such a bad honours page. If you even live in an English speaking country you would know we call leagues and cups by their proper names. If you want to say Spanish League but that on the dumb English page or whatever that is called!!!!!!

Games played and goals scored at Corinthians needs updating

Since joining Corinthians, Ronaldo has made 9 appearances and scored 8 goals. Can someone please in-put this information.

Here is the source:

To correct you: It was 13 games and 10 goals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.250.239 (talk) 14:53, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

What's this Ronaldo to Bayern talk?

Citation needed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.82.129.172 (talk) 20:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Dudes! The statistics of Ronaldo are absolutely fals. This is right: Games Played (19) Goals Scored (11) Believe me!

The 3 (0) that you see in the infobox are the league matches and goals, the 19 games played and 11 scored are all the league matches PLUS matches in copa do brasil PLUS Campeonato Paulistarandom numbers (talk) 17:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Style of play section

I had added a style of play section a few weeks ago which provided mostly unbiased detailed information on how Ronaldo plays the game. Since this page is locked could someone please create a style of play section?(75.134.115.174 (talk) 05:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC))

Mercurial Vapors

Ronaldo was the first player to wear Vapors as they were created for him. Vapors are a very popular boot and it would be very nice if someone could add info about this in a new section or in personal life.(75.134.115.174 (talk) 05:50, 12 July 2009 (UTC))

Hat Trick

Ronaldo just scored his 24th career hat trick and his first for Corinthians. Isn't this noteworthy?(75.134.115.174 (talk) 05:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC))

La Liga Medal 2007?

I don't know what the rules are in La Liga on how many games you have to play in order to get a medal, but didn't Ronaldo leave for AC Milan in the beginning of 2007 so therefore he didn't win La Liga in 2007? And I don't know if he still got a medal because he left before then right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.255.193.90 (talk) 16:55, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Wrong. Even if you dont play a single game for your club in a competition you become a part of the title winning team if you were a substitute once during the competition. You dont even have to stand on the pitch for a second. 85.178.208.183 (talk) 16:35, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
