This is a very disappointing article. I saw the name "Samantha Ronson" and thought why does that name sound so familiar?. I of course came to wikipedia to find out only to see nothing of use to me. Samantha Ronson is linked to Lindsey Lohan, and was somewhat involved in the incident where Lindsey stole a car and went on a wild ride with two scared passengers. She also allegedly had a romantic relationship with Lindsey and is also a DJ and the nightclub "Hyde". This is the context from which I know her, not her my-space music career. I had to find this from an alternate source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.237.221.126 (talk) 18:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Americia

i vote to keep the article because she is notable diue to her presence in the NYC celeb/nightlife circuit. i'm not saying she's einstein notable, but she's a name that will come up and someone will wiki to see who the heck that person is. like the note above mine. and we didn't even get into the gay relationship rumors with lohan.

[edit] Father

It's pretty clear that guitarist Mick Ronson is not her father. She mentions this on her myspace page "...my step-father (he has a band called Foreigner- he plays guitar [She's talking about Mick Jones here])(oh yeah- NOT Mick Ronson as some people seem to think)." Numerous articles about her brother, Mark Ronson, state that Laurence Ronson is his father. Guitarist Mick Ronson's obituary mention only one wife, Suzy Fussey. 69.181.125.234 (talk) 04:07, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Yup. Exactly. Just took care of it. Thanks a lot! -Seidenstud (talk) 04:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Excellent - the citation you added is much more succinct. The whole thing seems minor, but I think growing up with Mick Ronson as a father vs. growing up with Laurence Ronson as a father would be two rather different formative experiences...69.181.125.234 (talk) 20:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TMZ reference "No Sapphic Friends Network

You can clearly hear the paparazzi ask Samantha "Any truth to the engagement rumors?" to which she replies "Not true." For some unknown reason TMZ has chosen to label this video as a denial of a romantic relationship, not an engagement. I've edited the article to reflect this. Please feel free to leave input. I'm new to wikipedia and still learning the ropes. Thanks

TMZ is not a very reliable source. And how you "hear" something on a video clearly is not considered a reliable source and is considered original research, which is a violation of Wikipedia's policy of verification. And your innuendo "amidst talk that the two were to be married" is based on rumor (strictly forbidden per WP:BLP) suggests that talk of marriage is factual, which it is not. In the mainstream media, there is no solid indication that Ronson or Lohan discussed marriage. This is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid or rumor mill. Wikipedia has very strict policies about adding potentially libelous information about a living person. Your edit violates a number of Wikipedia policies. Carefully read all of the blue links on this page. Do not continue to re-insert potentially libelous information because it is strictly forbidden on Wikipedia. If you do so, I will immediately make a report on WP:ANI. Ward3001 (talk) 02:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Take the ENTIRE TMZ reference out of this article then. If TMZ is not a reliable source WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO USE THAT REFERENCE to say that they have insisted they are just friends? Just because the video was WRONGLY labeled as such? That's pretty hypocritical if you ask me! Have you actually listened to the video? Samantha has not insisted they are just friends, especially not in that video! If the engagement rumors can not be addressed in this article then that entire reference should be removed because THAT is what is being discussed between Sam and the pap in that video.

Good point. The entire Lohan situation is now deleted. Ward3001 (talk) 03:33, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
