Location error : Not Russia, but Paris
"she livestreamed herself in Russia attempting to lead away a homeless woman's children" - this is false, she was in Paris for the Fashion Week : https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/2018/09/29/a-paris-lindsay-lohan-tente-demmener-lenfant-dune-famille-qui-dort-dans-la-rue-et-suscite-lindignation_a_23545697/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.223.199.115 (talk) 06:28, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
Pronunciation
https://www.cameo.com/business/talent/lindsaylohan
Notice how she pronounces her name here. Are we sure that the pronunciation listed in the article is correct? DieOuTransvaal (talk) 22:15, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- The pronunciation of Lindsay Lohan's last name is LOH-han. This Wikipedia page's pronunciation -- LOH-en -- is incorrect and needs to be changed. 2600:4040:A017:6B00:CDC0:3AA4:4C4E:F7A3 (talk) 23:17, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
- Please correct the pronunciation of Lindsay Lohan's last name from LOH-ən to LOH-han. Here are two pieces of evidence that reveal Lohan herself stating the correct pronunciation of her surname:

Please change the pronunciation of Lindsay Lohan's last name from LOH-en to LOH-han. She has confirmed this herself. 2600:4040:A017:6B00:A902:38FE:1DD0:1E34 (talk) 03:01, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- "LOH-ən" (not "LOH-en" as you said) is exactly what you are requesting. (CC) Tbhotch™ 04:25, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- No, I'm saying her last name is pronounced LOH-han, as in, the primary stress is LOH (which is correct here), but the pronunciation that follows is HAN. 2600:4040:A017:6B00:CDC0:3AA4:4C4E:F7A3 (talk) 13:55, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
Not done Your proposed change is inexistent. Refer to Help:IPA/English for the right symbols. (CC) Tbhotch™ 02:43, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- I really don't know how to make this clearer. The current (and utterly inaccurate) pronunciation on Lindsay Lohan's Wikipedia article is loʊ.ən/ LOH-ən; What it should be instead is loʊ.hæn/ LOH-han; Can you change it to the correct pronunciation? 2600:4040:A017:6B00:CDC0:3AA4:4C4E:F7A3 (talk) 22:30, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. (CC) Tbhotch™ 02:41, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- And I'm asking for WP:reliable sources, not YouTube videos of a person (including her) pronouncing her last name. (CC) Tbhotch™ 02:43, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Not done: How would I find and provide those reliable sources? Also, I don't understand why the two YouTube videos of Lohan herself pronouncing her name don't qualify as sufficient evidence; it's coming straight from the horse's mouth. 2600:4040:A017:6B00:DD98:AE1A:A811:45F0 (talk) 14:19, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Ancestry
She is Italian & Irish from both her Mother Dina & Father Michael. BloodDraco (talk) 18:16, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- look at the wiki page of her Mom Dina & it says this in Early Life of Dina's Wiki Page ....
- She is of Italian (from her mother) and Irish descent, and was raised Catholic. BloodDraco (talk) 18:22, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- look at the wiki page of her Dad Michael & it says this in Early Life of Michael's Wiki Page ....
- Michael Lohan is the oldest of four children born to Marilyn (née Desiderio) (1942–2020) and Richard Lohan (1937–2008). He has Irish and Italian ancestry. BloodDraco (talk) 18:29, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Legal Section Missing
Why is there NO legal section? While the information is more than 10 years old (per guidelines) this is a gross difference from Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, or Charlie Sheens page, among many others. While I appreciate and support minimizing negativity, completely scrubbing arrest records has me, for the first time ever, seriously questioning the validity of wiki and whether I can trust it for sources on which I do not have prior knowledge. 2601:8C0:802:A8B0:934F:2A0D:5356:DBB0 (talk) 08:05, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- I support such a section existing. Lohan's legal/criminal history is culturally-significant and is almost as congruent with her public image as her nearly universally beloved acting career. For example, I remember footage from a few years ago when she livestreamed herself trying to kidnap children. Despite the fact that there are several articles about this from various news sources, there's no mention of it here. It's quite jarring. I'm considering writing the section myself, but it would be quite the undertaking considering all that would go into it. Artartartart (talk) 02:04, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Under Early Life, please correct "the Bronx" to "The Bronx" as The is part of the official name 146.115.209.140 (talk) 15:07, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
