This article is about a person who is alive, and so it must follow our rules for biographies of living persons. Controversial content about living persons that does not have any sources or is poorly sourced must be removed straight away from the article and its talk page, especially if it harms their reputation. If such content is repeatedly added to the page or if there are other concerns related to this rule, report it on the Administrators' noticeboard.

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Tim Dowling (14 January 2008). "Wikipedia too long-winded for you? Try the simple version". The Guardian. Retrieved 2022-05-12. In contrast to the accumulative and needlessly prolix articles often found in regular Wikipedia, the Simple English version tends to stick to commonly accepted facts and rarely tells you more than you want to know. Lindsay Lohan's entry runs to just three sentences, one of which is "She plays the guitar very well and has done many singing parts." In contrast, the standard Wikipedia version of her life is 4,000 words long.

This topic, extensively referenced in enWP, is entirely left out here. In the interests of wp:NPOV, balance, accuracy and sheer truth, a simple verson should be included here. Biographies of persons in pop culture should not be hagiographies (should not only talk about the good stuff). Macdonald-ross (talk) 06:43, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

You're certainly right. I think the reason the section is left out here is not so much for POV as the fact that we don't have enough active contributors..and people like me are too lazy to update articles like this quickly enough. ;) If you want to put in a section, by all means go ahead; I'll be happy to help if I can. :) Cordially, —Clementina talk 06:53, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
