Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 22 November 2021

Hello. Ronaldo has won 34 trophies and not 32 as mentioned in the article. The uncounted trophies are the FA Community Shield 2008 and the UEFA Super Cup 2016. Although Ronaldo did not play both games the titles must be added as he was part of the team squad, in addition to being collective awards. Enclosed references:

Edit request for section "2022-present: Desire to leave United

The following sentence (the reference for it is 313) needs a minor grammar fix - "take" instead of "taken":

"Ten Hag later named Ronaldo as captain for a league game against Aston Villa on 6 November, saying that Ronaldo was "an important part of the squad, we are happy with him and now he has to taken even more of the leader role".

Career split proposal

Cristiano Ronaldo → Cristiano Ronaldo and Career of Cristiano Ronaldo — Splitting into Ronaldo and Career of Ronaldo is the same reason as Lionel Messi and Career of Lionel Messi, see [[1]]. Guyrichtheman (talk) 13:20, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under senior appearance table, change Apps for Real Madrid from 292 to 438 and Goals from 311 to 450.

Also, change his apps for Juventus to 134 and Goals to 101

Also, for his first stint as Manchester United from 2003-09, he should have 292 apps instead of 196 and 118 goals instead of 84.

For his second stint at Manchester United from 2021-2023, change his app from 40 to 54 and goals from 19 to 27.

Not done, for two reasons:

1. Wikipedia users only consider correct statistics in infoboxes as those which come from the league only. (The actual name is infoboxes, not senior appearance table.)

2. Users who are able to change edit-protected pages reject transfermarkt websites, per WP:TRANSFERMARKT, for referencing reliably sourced content. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:11, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

International goal record edit

Ronaldo holds record for most international goals by a MALE soccer player. He is NOT the record holder for international goals. There are FIVE women who have scored more international goals than Ronaldo. 2001:8003:3E0B:300:F9E6:8C34:3B6A:5676 (talk) 11:06, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
