[edit] AEK League games

The infobox is supposed to include league games and goals only,please do not include his european matches with AEK.213.5.126.197 01:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Why was the olympiacos badge deleted?Rivaldo is palying there and it should appear as long as he stays there.

I reverted your edit. I'm sure you mean well, but this article is supposed to be a biography on Rivaldo in general - the badge puts too much emphasis on Olympiakos imo. If other editors agree/disagree with my reason to revert then let us know. Igorrr 13:14, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

So if we put all the badges of the teams he used to play for in row plus olympiakos badge it would be better?

That would be more representative of his entire career, I agree. As long as the emphasis is on the player as opposed to one club, then anyone should be able to contribute to the article as they see fit. Although putting club logo's into articles seems inconsistent with other football biographies so I don't know if and how other users will react. Igorrr 14:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

why is he so ugly? xD

because of his theatrics in the world cup 2002, fakers & divers began to ascend into the beuatiful game...

[edit] Name

Is Rivaldo part of his birth name or not? I have seen conflicting sources.SaskatchewanSenator 01:14, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Could anyone add in the article an explanation why his nickname is Rivaldo?--24.138.26.251 05:49, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I found his full name: RIVALDO VITOR BORBA FEREIRA. Source: [1]--24.138.26.251 06:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
That's not a very conclusive reference. The front page of the same site[2] says "Welcome to the official website of VITOR BORBA FEREIRA RIVALDO". Here is a reputable site that indicates Rivaldo is not part of his full name.[3]--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 09:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minor vandalism

I have removed the small, illiterate assertion that this player has joined Leicester City FC. It appeared to be a 'practical joke' with out any joke involved, and even if meant sincerely, it was completely unsubstantiated.Grubstreet (talk) 18:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed - the Leicester City FC article has suffered similarly. Now semi-protected for 7 days to let the silliness end. Qwghlm (talk) 18:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AEK Athens

The third paragraph is a complete mess there are no citations at all, how is a decision controversial when is supported by CAS, furthermore there is no greek football association just the hellenic football federation Mdkats (talk) 13:36, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
