=='one of the best' vs. 'the best'==
|action3date = 14:06, 17 October 2015
The article originally lists Ronaldo as 'one of the greatest of all time', while Messi's article lists him as 'the greatest of all time', despite the pair being heated career rivals. The pair share many of the same awards and trophies, with the amount being hotly contested every year. Ronaldo's article also provides a multitude of references from journalists, pundits, and peers that also consider him as the greatest of all time. It seems quite opinionated to not list them as the same. ```[[User: PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black">PsychopathicAssassin</em>''']]<small>[[User talk:PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black"></em>''']]</small> 17:03, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

::To state someone is “widely considered to be the best” would need to be backed up by sources that match such a claim.

It's like kindergarten here, everyone comes and do whatever he wants. Ronaldo is widely considered to be the greatest, it's obvious to so many people that every couple of days another one come and change it back to "considered the best", and a lot asked before here on talk page. a lot of people hate Ronaldo personally (like they know him in person lol), and get angry seeing the edit, then come and change it cause they personally don't agree and everyone with a 4 day old account can edit as he please, so Wikipedia don't reflect reality as it supposed to do. there are way more than enough sources to make the claim, and people brought up tens of them earlier and got ignored by editors who just don't agree, and don't care if there are countless millions of people that as a FACT - thinking Ronaldo is the best player of all time. I give up at this point, since the whole edit manage system here is hilariously unprofessional. another Messi fan/Ronaldo hater (Tellso HL) takes control of Ronaldo's page like it's his personal page - what a joke. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/84.111.233.230|84.111.233.230]] ([[User talk:84.111.233.230#top|talk]]) 19:27, 10 March 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::If it’s “obvious” that he’s “widely” considered the best then source it, and not base it on the view of just a couple of teammates, his former manager, and a couple of pundits. The Messi article has a wikiquote page littered with views that say he’s the greatest, and not just a half dozen views. “Some” do think Cristiano is the greatest, but then that would need specified. For me, Cristiano isn’t the best Ronaldo, that mantle belongs to [[Ronaldo (Brazilian footballer)|the Brazilian]].

:::Both athletes are consistently compared to one another, with only specific, personal choices ruling you in favor of each individual. However, the fact that they are compared to one another consistently, share an incredibly similar career trajectory (in terms of trophies/personal accolades won), and have many people believe they are the best ever to play, This sentiment has to be translated to their articles. Wikipedia is a neutral source, and must be showcased as one. [[User:PsychopathicAssassin|PsychopathicAssassin]] ([[User talk:PsychopathicAssassin|talk]]) 08:58, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

::::They are indeed often compared to each other, but that alone doesn’t mean equivalence, neither does five world player of the year awards each. The way it is currently written—“one of”–I think is inaccurate as '''some''' do think Cristiano is “the” best, so “one of” underplays it, but “widely regarded as the best” would also be inaccurate as he isn’t. How do you word “some” though?, would you have to specify who they are? Or perhaps we could put a reference next to the word some which when clicked on would show the half dozen or so that think he is. Messi’s claim as the greatest is a very common view among a wide variety of people in the game–and not just biased teammates, former coaches of his etc. To use a music comparison, Messi is to The Beatles what Ronaldo is to The Stones, one is just more critically acclaimed than the other, with Messi ranking higher in most people lists as evidenced by the volume of sources. [[User:Tellso HL|Tellso HL]] ([[User talk:Tellso HL|talk]]) 15:50, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::Comparisons are often the underlying standard bearer when discussing equivalence. Ronaldo's article, however, differs from Messi's as it does provide references from a plethora of sources, with opinions from journalists, fans, peers, and coaches, to support that claim. It would be correct in saying those four distinct groups of the footballing community stretches far and wide, and constitutes enough support in order for Ronaldo to be considered “the best”. It is not incorrect in saying that many people, worldwide, in those four categories, consider Ronaldo “the best”. To also use a musical comparison, Messi is to 2Pac what Ronaldo is to The Notorious B.I.G., with rankings higher dependent on personal preference, but both are accepted as the greatest. Whatever your preference may be, Wikipedia is a neutral platform, and must be presented as one. Their article openings must be equal.

::::::First off, cease edit warring and vandalizing the article. Content doesn’t change until any consensus is reached. Everything you have just stated is your own opinion, including the statement my “preference”. I’ve requested sources to back up your claim, none have been forthcoming. I’ve checked–I presume you have also–there isn’t the plethora of sources to back up any claim of “widely considered the greatest”, hence he isn’t.

::::::::You are putting forward your own belief as opposed to putting forward anything backed up by sources. If a multitude of sources back up the claim that “Cristiano is widely regarded as the greatest”, that’s fine whether I agree with it or not. My personal viewpoint–I’ve stated above he’s not the best Ronaldo, that mantle belongs to the Brazilian–is irrelevant. I’ve looked for such evidence myself, and it isn’t there. I do think “one of” is inaccurate though as I also stated previously. I’d change it to some, and source that. [[User:Tellso HL|Tellso HL]] ([[User talk:Tellso HL|talk]]) 16:52, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::Again, my belief has not been proposed, nor indicated. Again, sources can easily be accessed on the article itself, a multitude of which back up the claim that “Cristiano is widely regarded as the greatest”. I also agree that all personal viewpoints are irrelevant when contributing to a neutral encyclopedia, and I refrain from stating mine. The edits I have proposed work to detail a widely accepted view of the player, not one influenced by any personal opinion. [[User:PsychopathicAssassin|PsychopathicAssassin]] ([[User talk:PsychopathicAssassin|talk]]) 16:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
::::::::::Have you even bothered to look at the sources in the article? What, his former coach Jose Mourinho? his current coach Zinedine Zidane? his agent Jorge Mendes? Two current teammates and two former teammates? A Four Four Two magazine article that has him at #5 all time? An article that says he should be in the debate among the greatest? And this constitutes “widely regarded as the greatest”? Give me a break. [[User:Tellso HL|Tellso HL]] ([[User talk:Tellso HL|talk]]) 17:10, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::::The sources in the article all represent the four pillars of the footballing community. Coaches, peers, journalists, and fans, all with a degree of respectability, in agreement of the same opinion on Ronaldo's standing within the game. It is quite evident, regardless of your personal opinion of the sources, that the sentiment from the community must be reflected onto the Wikipedia article. [[User:PsychopathicAssassin|PsychopathicAssassin]] ([[User talk:PsychopathicAssassin|talk]]) 22:45, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
::::::::::::First source in article says [https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/fourfourtwos-100-greatest-footballers-ever-no5-cristiano-ronaldo Cristiano is the fifth best player], so he is the 5th best then?. As for his agent, he’s not going to say my client–who earns me a shed load of money–is not quite as good as x now is he? His former coach, current coach, two current/former teammates, also carry inherent bias. Even if they weren’t biased and we take what they say at face value, that’s a very small number of people. Nothing validates your personal claim he’s widely considered the greatest. [[User:Tellso HL|Tellso HL]] ([[User talk:Tellso HL|talk]]) 11:47, 23 March 2018 (UTC)


|action8 = GAN
Clutching at straws, really. Ronaldo isn’t widely perceived as the best ever—of course, his agent would beg to differ. Tellso HL is right, it’s a small amount of people. The difference between asserting Messi is the best ever and Ronaldo being the best ever, is with Messi the citations are there; whereas, Ronaldo has had, at the most, FIVE citations saying he’s the best or close to it.

@[[User:Swig8998|Swig8998]] Wikipedia isn't a platform to list citations, but there are many neutral sources on the article that does support the argument for Ronaldo being the considered the greatest player in history. Hell, the mere edit war being conducted on this matter support that claim. However, as you and @[[User:Tellso HL|Tellso HL]] have requested additional sources (free from "bias"), here are a few:

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:

:Responding to the above post by [[User: PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black">PsychopathicAssassin</em>''']]<small>[[User talk:PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black"></em>''']]</small> (you didn’t sign your post so I’d added your username). First off, your sources are terrible. Goal.com, tabloids Daily Express and Daily Mail, and a blog (which also doesn’t state he’s the best btw). Besides that thank you for confirming my point. In your Daily Express source, it states [https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/815554/Cristiano-Ronaldo-greatest-footballer-Pele-Lionel-Messi-Maradona-George-Best-Johan-Cruyff “There aren’t too many around who can say with conviction that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player ever. Except me, that is.”]. A journalist going against the grain, against the commonly held view. Precisely. It is not a widely held view he is the best. Indeed, as I said above, '''some''' do think he’s the best. Yes it’s not a common view, but some do think it. The first source on this very article has him as the '''fifth best player''', and YET, still, [https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/fourfourtwos-100-greatest-footballers-ever-no5-cristiano-ronaldo despite this fact], a Wikipedia contributor tried to have him written as “widely regarded as the best” in the sentence that precedes it. Utter nonsense. The content should be verified by the sources not be contradicted by them. [[User:Tellso HL|Tellso HL]] ([[User talk:Tellso HL|talk]]) 16:52, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

::I don't think either, him or Messi, are the greatest of all time. But i do think both articles should have the same lead. That means, that they are viewed by some as one of the best of all time. [[User:Kante4|Kante4]] ([[User talk:Kante4|talk]]) 17:01, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

:::’One of’ the best is clearly inaccurate as they are in the debate as the greatest of all time. The problem with making their claim exactly the same is it doesn’t match the commonly held view. To make them equal on here isn’t being neutral (while it may seem as though it is), it’s not reflecting the world outside Wikipedia. Who garners more acclaim The Beatles or The Stones? It isn’t parity, likewise it isn’t with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. If 100 people say one is the best, and six say the other is, we don’t then give both the same standing. The journalist linked above stated his view on Cristiano being the best is not a common one (“there aren’t too many”), it’s a minority view. The views on Messi are widespread.

Get a life already Tellso HL - there are several sources claiming Ronaldo as the greatest, but u decided to completely ignore them and only talk about sources who claims he is "one of" because it's convenient to you but u don't fool nobody. Messi, Maradona, and Pele also have sources claiming they are just "one of", but those sources are clearly not the point
- the point are the sources claiming the player as the greatest + millions over millions fans around the world claiming it as well = "regarded
By many as the greatest". Ronaldo has the legitimate sources and millions of fans claiming he's the greatest, and Wikipedia just can't ignore those facts.

Picking the right lead image has proven out to be a tough nut to crack. Therefore, I'm initiating a discussion in order to reach consensus. Here are some pictures we should discuss using for Ronaldo:<!--in chronological order-->

::Number three, and there should be very little doubt about it. All of the others are poor choices for an infobox image -- in particular number two and four. An infobox image should preferably contain some form of a portrait, with the individual's head horizontally angled, and ideally geared toward the viewer. [http://dabancada.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/cr7.jpg This] and [https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/11/24/08/cristiano-ronaldo-getty.jpg this] are other good options.

== This bias toward Ronaldo is getting tiresome and must end ==


Calling for an end to the blatant bias toward Ronaldo by two editors inserting material that is not only not backed up by sources, it contradicts it. First example of bias: ''Revision at 08:54, 28 March 2018 by'' [[User: PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black">PsychopathicAssassin</em>''']]<small>[[User talk:PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black"></em>''']]</small> wrote, ..“After winning his first Ballon d'Or by a record-high vote count at age 23, the public debate regarding his qualities as a player moved beyond his status in contemporary football to the possibility that he was the greatest player in history.” ...and the source he used for this sentence of his?... '''[http://www.ibtimes.com/top-50-greatest-footballers-all-time-pele-maradona-messi-ronaldo-included-best-soccer-1624974 this, that has Ronaldo ranked as the seventh best player]'''. Source contradicting his edit. Next example of bias: The first source in the article has Cristiano as the '''[https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/fourfourtwos-100-greatest-footballers-ever-no5-cristiano-ronaldo fifth best player]''', and yet, despite this, ''Revision at 05:11, 28 March 2018‎ by [[User:Es031989|Es031989]] ([[User talk:Es031989#top|talk]])'' inserts him as “widely regarded as the greatest”, contradicting the source with his own bias, and also chimes in with his own opinion about “millions” (this too is also contradicted by the source below).

So the first source has him ranked '''seventh''', which contradicts the insertion of material of “the greatest”, second source has him ranked '''fifth''', which contradicts the insertion of material as “the greatest”, and, we also have another source that [[User: PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black">PsychopathicAssassin</em>''']]<small>[[User talk:PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black"></em>''']]</small> used which only served to contradict his claim that Cristiano is “widely regarded as the greatest”, as the ''Daily Express'' journalist stated, [https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/815554/Cristiano-Ronaldo-greatest-footballer-Pele-Lionel-Messi-Maradona-George-Best-Johan-Cruyff “There aren’t too many around who can say with conviction that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player ever. Except me, that is.”]. Exactly. It’s a minority view, not “widely regarded as the greatest” as these blatently biased wiki contributors are inserting. Inserting false material and contradicting the sources is blatant vandalism. [[User:Tellso HL|Tellso HL]] ([[User talk:Tellso HL|talk]]) 13:57, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
:Absolutely '''some''' do, and it was me who advocated the change to that as '''one of''' underplayed it. Like that journalist stated though a view of him being regarded as the greatest is not a widely held one. The two sources that have him 7th, and 5th, that’s a common sight. The problem is the biased fanboys who insert original material with no connection to the source; this by [[User: PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black">PsychopathicAssassin</em>''']]<small>[[User talk:PsychopathicAssassin|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black"></em>''']]</small> ..“After winning his first Ballon d'Or by a record-high vote count at age 23, the public debate regarding his qualities as a player moved beyond his status in contemporary football to the possibility that he was the greatest player in history.” ..which he came up with and used a '''[http://www.ibtimes.com/top-50-greatest-footballers-all-time-pele-maradona-messi-ronaldo-included-best-soccer-1624974 source that said no such thing, and had him seventh]'''.

U can keep saying about everyone who do not agree with u "biased", but u don't really fool no one, and it's easily plain to see you are an angry Messi fan who just can't deal with the fact of millions worlwide thinking Ronaldo is the greatest - well, whatever is written in Wikipedia, it doesn't change facts of reality.

*'''No''' – I would prefer to tone it down a bit, but reviewing previous discussions it looks to me this isn't a realistic option. I would be opposed to removing "one of".

*'''Yes''' - no doubt Cristiano Ronaldo is already considered widely as one of the candidates for the best player ever. anyway the survey can't reflect reality while most people do not participate in it, and anyway - it's an undeniable fact that Ronaldo considered by many as the best player ever so any other statement would be false and won't reflect reality.

*'''No''' (or remove the sentence altogether from this and other articles) - I came here to fix templates originally, and I have no particular interest in any particular player, for or against, but I think the any wording claiming he is widely considered the single greatest of all time is overstating what the sources actually say. Yes, some journalists refer to him as such, but a many of them of them seem to be writing for papers in areas where he plays or has played, and many other journalists consider him to be #5, #7, etc., and "widely" implies a worldwide consensus. It needs more than just individual journalists claiming that ''they'' consider him the greatest of all time, it would actually need multiple reliable sources claiming that he is "widely" considered the greatest of all time (anything else would be [[WP:SYNTH]]). There are also plenty of sources in the article that state that he ''isn't'' widely considered the single greatest (such as [https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/815554/Cristiano-Ronaldo-greatest-footballer-Pele-Lionel-Messi-Maradona-George-Best-Johan-Cruyff] which states "THERE aren’t too many around who can say with conviction that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player EVER."). Meanwhile, he is widely considered to be on pretty much every list of greatest player'''s'''. I would say either keep it as is; remove it altogether from this and the [[Lionel Messi]], [[Pelé]], [[Diego Maradona]], etc. articles; or change it to the wording used on the Messi article, which says "regarded by many as the greatest of all time", or the Maradona article, which says "Many in the sport, including football writers, players, and fans, regard Maradona as the greatest football player of all time" (which, again, don't imply worldwide consensus). --[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User_talk:Ahecht|<span style="color:#FFF;background:#00F;display:inline-block;padding:1px 1px 0;vertical-align:-.3em;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK<br />PAGE</span>]]) 13:50, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

*I've opened this RfC in an attempt to quell the long-standing and disruptive edit wars that have been a bane of this article for too long. Although I would consider myself an uninvolved party, my understanding of the history is that there has been a consensus for a certain wording ("Often considered the best player in the world and widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time"), but there has been increasing pressure to change the wording to remove "one of" from that statement. My observation is that this has been done by a minority without consensus, so I am asking for input from interested and outside parties to a) evaluate the talk page history to confirm current consensus and b) evaluate sources currently included and any new ones proffered through this RfC. As I have stated before, I would prefer more neutral wording and consistency across all of the relevant articles (Messi, et al), but I will be abstaining from the survey. <span style="background: #6fd6f5; font-family: Monospace;">[[User:Nzd|<span style="color: #98285c">Nzd</span>]] [[User talk:Nzd|<span style="color: #98285c">(talk)</span>]]</span> 20:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

== Should the UEFA Super Cup 2016 be included in Cristiano Ronaldo's list of honours ==
{{archive top|result=We've had this discussion before, and the rather obvious answer is still that no, a player who didn't play and wasn't even in the squad does not get credit for a trophy, regardless of what Real Madrid's website says.

I firmly believe that under the Cristiano Ronaldo's honour heading the 2016 UEFA Super Cup should be included. Although, he may not have been part of the squad that won the trophy on the night. According to the official regulations of the UEFA Super Cup 2015-2018 cycle, the winning team are awarded forty gold medals. As Cristiano Ronaldo was a member of the squad that helped Real Madrid secure a place in the UEFA Super Cup he would have been awarded one of the forty gold medals available.

If you scroll right to the bottom you can see the total number of trophies he has won including three UEFA Super Cup trophies won at Madrid. These include the years 2014, 2016 and 2017. Although, it doesn't mention the years he won it, these are the only years he could have won those titles as he did not win any at Manchester United and Real Madrid have only participated in three finals since Ronaldo's arrival in which they won all three.

Even after trimming the "‎Honours and achievements" section, the Post-expand include size is 1,990,829 out of the allowed 2,097,152 bytes, so only small amount of extra templates will push this page over the limit again and cause templates at the end of the article, such as {{tl|reflist}} and {{tl|navboxes}}, to not display. I replaced the calls to {{tl|reflist}} with direct calls to <nowiki><references /></nowiki> to reduce the template load a bit and ensure that references show up even if the limit is exceeded in the future, but we should really think about splitting out other parts of this article as to ensure that we aren't as close to hitting the limit in the future. --[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User_talk:Ahecht|<span style="color:#FFF;background:#00F;display:inline-block;padding:1px 1px 0;vertical-align:-.3em;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK<br />PAGE</span>]]) 15:05, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

It would be interesting to see if other footballer articles are approaching a similar issue (I'm thinking a direct comparison in terms of ridiculous number of achievements and references etc.: [[Lionel Messi]]), and so I think it's important we reach a consensus as this will hopefully set a precedent for similar situations in the future.

It's actually became amusing to see how much effort people who can't adjust to reality put into this warring. it's like going to Wikipedia's "sky" page, edit that "the sky is usually white", and expect that the sky outside would actually turn white lol. Feel free to write and edit to your version as u wish, but it's only just another site after all and reality stays the same. Hundreds of millions of football fans around the world consider Cristiano Ronaldo as the greatest if not at least a candidate to be the greatest - and that's a fact no words can change, and these whole warring only making Wikipedia looks bad by taking sides instead of reflecting real life. I may not take part in this warring in the future, but obviously this warring is far from over while so much don't agree with the current statement that some editors with more power in this site than others decided on.

I actually agree with u, but as we can see editors decided to ignore the fact that it's not an encyclopedic statement and it's now became a popularity decision among the editors for what players get the statement included, and what players not. the professional thing to do would be either adding the statement to all the players who deserve it (which is at least 5 players if not even 9-10 different players along football's history), or either delete that "the best" statement for any player (but i don't expect much professionality after i saw how Wikipedia's editing works).

There is a disagreement regarding the understanding of the term 'playmaking'. In my opinion, two reliable sources alone should be enough to prove the quality of one's playmaking abilities, and Ronaldo's such abilities are well documented.

Should the "Records" section be excluded from the "Honours and achievements" section? Would save us a lot of space, since a number of those records are arguably unnecessary.

Ronaldo is considered by countless people around the world as maybe the greatest. Is this really the most popular web "encyclopedia"? I really expected more than a site claims to be a worldwide encyclopedia. The fact we even debating on this lead readers to think someone here has strong interest to fight against presenting this fact as it obviously need to be on the article. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/176.12.241.40|176.12.241.40]] ([[User talk:176.12.241.40#top|talk]]) 13:36, 9 June 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

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:

Similarly, Ronaldo was awarded the best player of the 21st century at the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony:

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".
