Talk:Zac Efron

Picture

Can we get a picture?PeachGal 04:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I found this one; Image:Zac-1.jpg, uploaded by User:Chirchona, but I don't think at it's a non-copyrigthed picture, if it is, we might have more young female visitors on Wikipedia in the future... Pardy 08:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

That's not even him, much less a free picture... :-) Mad Jack 17:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

We have his free picture on Polish wikipedia. Can you put it here? Here is the link: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Efron_zac_01sci.jpg User:krisofis 10:16, 19 July 2007

Deletion

This page was unsuccessfully nominated for deletion. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Zac Efron for a record. Postdlf 22:50, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Some claims about the religion of Mr Efron's family are disputed and unsourced. They are erased for want of a reputable source, see Wikipedia:Citing sources. David.Monniaux 16:03, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

No, Mr. Efron is definitely of Jewish descent. I don't think he is a practicing Jew, but he is partially of Jewish ethnic heritage. I knew him personally circa 2001/2002

Zac is from a jewish family although he is a Christian follower.

Vandalism

Anyone care to say why the current event tag is on this page?--Alhutch 05:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I am tired of continually reverting lovesick teenyboppers, so I've put a brief comment to the effect that they will be reverted. If anyone thinks this is inappropriate, please feel free to remove it. Makemi 23:40, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

it's entirely appropriate, thanks for doing it. too much of that going on with this article lately.--Alhutch 23:48, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I've never heard of Zac Efron outside of the weird world of Wikipedia. Anyone want to explain why this page should be the subject of so much vandalism?

Furthermore, is it worth implementing some protection for the page? --Dweller 09:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Generic "hot" teenage celebrity, teenage girls love to cuddle with his article, teenage boys love to vandalise it because all the girls are obsessed with him, it's as simple as that, it seems to be on a few watchlists for this reason, so there's no reason to protect it. -Obli (Talk)^? 09:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Then why can't I edit it? -Jflash 03:36, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Reply to above (the girls being obsessed): Ummm, that was...uh, weird. Actually, I never got introduced until Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa introduced him. Then, with fast-access DSL, I typed his name into the Wikipedia search box.

As much as I HATE vandalism, I HATE it when Zac Efron is a subject to Jeff Hardy and Bam Margera followers (I have really got to stop talking like Law & Order: SVU detective Elliot Stabler and editing like a cop), i.e. the "teenage boys" Obli was talking about who commit vandalism on this page. Shouldn't there be a lock on this page that prevents anonymous or new users from editing this page? This sounds like a good idea, just to let you know.

Semiprotection

This article has been fully protected for a week and a half, nominally because of vandalism. I'm switching to semiprotection so that it can be edited by (logged-in) non-administrators. --Tony Sidaway 01:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC) ’ to this talkpage. But I can rest assured that several dedicated vandal fighters have this on their watchlist. ~ c. tales *talk* 02:10, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• For an example of such, see Talk:Jesse McCartney. ~ c. tales *talk* 04:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

It says that it is semi-protected but instead of view source it says edit and it is still being able to be edited by ips.--74.133.52.253 00:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Indeed it seems to have been unprotected, I; m removing the notice. ~ c. tales *talk* 04:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

oops, already removed by Jossi. ~ c. tales *talk* 04:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Some of the edits are ruining sources

I would just like to call to attention that one of the edits made affected the reliability of a source. Let me make myself more clear:

• The edit in [1] shows that Zac Efron born in 1962.
• The real birthday is in 1987.
• Luckily, the change was made by Spuddy 17 here.

In my opinion, we have to take a closer look at every single edit that goes on. Even though it may not look like vandalism, the info would really ruin our sources.

um someone said that his birthday was in 1773 someone needs to change it be cause i dont know how

Songs

Zac Efron did not sing in the first High School Musical. Other than the beginning of 'The Start Of Something New' and 'Breaking Free'. His voice was blended with Andrew Seeley's. However in Hairspray (2007) and High School Musical 2 it will be ALL his voice.

Religion

At this time we do not know what religion he practices. There has been rumors of him practicing the jewish religion but that is false.

Zac Efron's Height

Why is it written that Zac Efron's height is 5'11'? when the other websites (like IMDB) say he's 5'9"?

Im not quite sure, but I heard he was 5'10" if that helps at all...

Most likely because he grew.Hollister QT 20:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

On zefron.com in the rumors section, it says he is 5'10".

Drunk Driving

Does anyone have a source for this edit? It is disputed as a rumor on various sites online. I have searched numerous search engines and cannot find any articles or references to this being true. I have found several sites that reference a character he played on NCIS being arrested for DUI and posession of an open container, this was a character, not the actor. It is verifiable that he was in an episode (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0657990/), but I have not been able to find a good synopsis to verify storyline. I would remove the quote as speculation till solid evidence can be found one way or the other.

Jhathcock 06:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's just vandalism...-Sukecchi 12:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)bob marely is cool

I remember seeing that episode. Zac starred as a teenage boy who buys a stolen cellphone that belongs to a missing woman. The NCIS team is able to track the cell phone, and Zac's character and his friend are caught drinking bear and talking to Zac's character's girlfriend. They are taken back to NCIS headquarters and Tony gets the name and phone number of the person who sold Zac's character the stolen cellphone

why was it taken out?

why was the information about drew seely singing for him on the high schoool musical songs removed?PrincessOfHearts 14:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It shouldn't have been. Are you sure its not in there? --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 20:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

i looked over the article and i don't see any info about it. nevermind, i see it now. it wasn't there yesterday.

Drew Seeley(Took Zac's part in HSMM) did nto Sing for Zac in the HSM movie/CD. They just blended his voice.Hollister QT 20:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Picture

• would you mind putting a picture for him in the article, please ? --Sport woman 16:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

If you can find one that is freely licensed, we would be quite happy to do so. All the images we've found so far violate WP:FU. --Yamla 16:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

• i find one that cover of the magazine [2] --Sport woman 16:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

No, as I already mentioned, we are only permitted to use freely licensed images which do not violate WP:FU. --Yamla 17:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

i really think zac is cool and i tottaly think a picture is needed-71.38.236.253 22:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)jes

We have his free picture on Polish wikipedia. Can you put it here? Here is the link: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Efron_zac_01sci.jpg User:krisofis 10:16, 19 July 2007

No. The uploader of that image has been caught repeatedly making fraudulent copyright claims. This, too, looks to be a fraudulent claim. --Yamla 14:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Vanessa Hudgens "Say Ok"

On the chart, where it says, "Vanessa Hudgens Say Ok" it says he's some randomn guy! He was not, he was VH's love interest in the music video.Happykid536 04:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Word Change

I say that we change "going out" to dating, it seems more professional

No Picture?

Hi

Is it possible to get a picture from another site? He's a popular actor, there should be a picture somewhere! I've googled his name and there are a LOT of pictures.

Happykid536 09:55, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but how many of those are freely-released for us to use no questions asked? Metros 11:15, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

We Should Edit This Page!

There's Two Thing That Are Wrong So Take The Veiw Source Off.Number One:The Replacments is wrong cause when you click on it it shows and band and it's supposed to be The Replacements (TV series).The Second Thing I'm Not Much Of A Barney & Friends Fan but he was In The Show As A Kid Called Carmus.So SomeOne Should Fix That.

Unprotected, you are free to edit now. Please ensure you use proper spelling and grammar, though, rather than capitalising random words as you did here. Thanks! --Yamla 15:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, that was a waste of effort The article was targeted with an unrelenting stream of vandalism. I've reprotected it for a month. I doubt things will be any better then, mind you. --Yamla 03:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Singles

Why do the singles list his singles as "Get'cha Head in the Game", "Stick to the Status Quo", "We're All in this Together" and "What I've Been Looking For (Reprise)" when he didn't even sing the vocals in these songs? I know he sang abit in "Breaking Free" and "Start of something new" and so these should be listed but the others should deffinately not. We know his voice wasn't "Mixed" with the other guys voice in any of these songs so I am going to go ahead and delete them if nobody objects by the end of the weekend.
