Untitled
editThis is an encyclopaedia: Articles should be titled according to the player's full name. Hence this article has been moved from Cafu to Marcos Evangelista de Moraes. --Daveb 10:50, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- Please re-read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). --Joy [shallot] 15:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- This suggests using common "short-form" name, rather than a nickname. --Daveb 23:06, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- Well, let me put it this way: you could move it from Cafu, if it weren't for the simple fact that virtually everyone who refers to him, refers to him as Cafu. That's how things are for Brazilian football players, their full names are simply inconsequential compared to their short names. --Joy [shallot] 21:42, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
- FWIW, I just added
RonaldoPelé to that page -- not because I was trying to cheat to win this argument, but because I think using simple names where well understood is clear Wikipedia policy, and my example only helps clarify the policy. In other words, I don't think Pelé is categorically different from Julius Caesar or Tony Blair, but because the example might help clarify the point where really really short (i.e. one-word) names are involved, I think it's good to put in there. Regardless, pretend it's not there for disputing Cafu -- and I still think the point holds. Cheers - PhilipR 06:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Move
editThe naming section is correct. The official site of the Brazilian team names it as Cafu, not Cafú. It's a bit misleading since it IS pronounced as cah-FOO, not CAH-foo.
In short, Cafú should be moved to Cafu. --Brazucs (TALK | CONTRIBS) 21:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- Just out of curiosity, isn't the non-accented version standard Portuguese? I thought that, unlike Spanish, words ending in i or u by default took the accent on the last syllable. Regardless, I'm moving it since there's no reason to classify a Brazilian player under a Spanish version of his name. - PhilipR 06:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Eek, I'm not so sure now. I'm sure I saw his current shirt with an accent. Can anyone get a screenie of that? --151.204.254.12 03:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- As I understand it, PhilipR is right that in Portuguese, u in the last syllable of a word is stressed without being marked with an accent. User:Angr 08:46, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
That's wrong!
editIn portuguese names the SECOND name is the family name!

"the first player to participate in four consecutive tournaments"?
editORLY? What about Dino Zoff? and even Paolo Maldini? Both achieved this status before him. So, shall I remove it? or atleast change it? YemeniteCamel (talk) 16:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Garforth Town
editWhy have the edits adding Garforth Town to his Senior Clubs section all been removed? He has signed a contract and will be playing for the club in 2009 [1] Dirk Valentine (talk) 13:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- He didn't sign! Paulo (talk) 16:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- So why did Simon Clifford, the clubs manager, clearly state he would be playing for the club in early 2009? Dirk Valentine (talk) 18:20, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
"in three consecutive WC final matches"
editWhy "consecutive"? /81.235.26.225 (talk) 14:24, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Cafu was not the only player that features in 3 final consecutively. Ronaldo Do Assis Delima also features in 3 finals as Cafu PaulBay1 (talk) 05:10, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Miroslav Klose
editIn the section "International career" you can read a following statement. He has won two World Cups in 1994 and 2002, as well as being one of only two players (the other being Miroslav Klose) to participate in three World Cup final matches. However that is not true since Klose appeared only in finals of 2002 and 2014. So I'm removing the (false) info about Klose. --Zidane-Materazzi (talk) 00:36, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
