[edit] 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)Zac Efron is currently dating Stacey Gumbert


[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)

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)

[edit] 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

[edit] Songs

ok i'm not sue but its zac efron really singing the songs in high school musical or is ti Andrew Seeley?

Both voices were blended together to create the sound. Yes they are,but Zac does sing in The Start of Something New and Will be singing in his up coming movie Hairspray. It's gonna be off the hook

wats any brothers or sister?

[edit] Religion

If Zac is not a practicing Jew, what religion does he practice? Quaker24 18:05, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes!! Thank you!!! I was just randomly looking up Disney stuff and i came across this article. I was thinking, "Ok? So we've eliminated Judaism ... That's ... helpful ..." It started bugging me, so I looked it up. No one seems to really know. Now I want to know, for some reason.

Not everyone necessarily practices a religion. As you can see by the article, Zac Efron was born Jewish, but does not practice Judaism. He probably is an atheist or an agnostic.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 04:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Everyone has a religion. Atheism is, in and of itself, a religion. Anyway, i just read that he got a surfboard for Christmas. I don't know from who, but if it was his family, it might mean he's a Christian. I hope so ... There are few in Hollywood ... It would be nice to see some on screen. (Also, that he was born Jewish means little. I have a friend whose mother was a devout Jew; he, however, is a Christian. My church has a preacher of close Jewish descent, also.)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.18.133.235 (talk • contribs).

This is not a forum for discussion about Zac Efron or religion. Please don't clutter the page with random chat. CovenantD 05:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

But the information is relevant to the article. =) Anyway, the fact that one celebrates Christmas does not imply Christianity. Christmas can be a secular holiday, along with its religious aspects.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 05:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Yes, it is celebrated by some atheists and has lost much of its denotation as a Holy Day, that's true. But you never know! This is still bugging me, so i'll just have to do something about it ... Zac is catholic.. end of discussion

A person doesn't have to be a practicing Jew to be a Jew. There are such people as Atheist Jews or non-practicing Jews. There are also Jews who celebrate Christmas. I have a few friends like that.

Whoever born to be Jewish, stay Jewish for the rest of his life, but that doesnt matter one can't do things secular people do, most Jews are secular, and many don't participate the Jewish rules, but still, that doesn't prevent them from being Jewish, which is not their desicion, it's by birth, they can convert to another religion, but that's drastic, I don't think he did that. He's Jewish, End of story. --80.230.204.100 20:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

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

I own Zac Efron's official biography and it says that he was born Jewish and his family is Jewish, HOWEVER he chooses to practice the Christian religion. Hollister QT 20:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
What is his official biography? The book "Zac Attack"? And by practicing Christianity, do you mean he celebrates Christmas? Quite a large amount of non-Christians do, it isn't a sign of religious faith. Mad Jack 21:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Drunk Driving Tag

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


[edit] 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 did nto Sing for Zac in the HSM movie/CD. They just blended his voice.Hollister QT 20:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fight

I heard that Zac efforn got beat up by Underground Rapper J-milli.the fight started when Zac made song Ugly Remarks about his music leaving J-milli pushing him into some water and then Zac Punched him in the face leaving him with a black eye then J-milli hit him three time breaking his noise and his lip. don't delete this want proof go to J-milli all you Zac groopies he's a straight bitch

This really isn't the place for this. Goto a forum, not an encyclopedia. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 23:49, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

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