Vanessa's Personal Life-Dating Zac Efron

PLEASE! Can people please STOP removing information in Vanessa's personal life about her dating Zac Efron. It has been officially anounced by many different sources including Vanessa's representatives, Corbin Bleu, J-14 & Popstar! magazines. The also holidayed in Hawaii together and were seen kissing on the beach several times- is this enough of a confirmation? If you are against Zac and Vanessa dating, this is not the correct place to release your anger. When people do remove it, the citing is here: (Can only be accessed by editing this page) I do think that this is notable information, and should be there. steph1121 23:46, 16 May 2007.

People think that he's isn't,but he is it said in the magazines!!!!!!!!!

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. See WP:NOT. If you believe this information will still be of interest in ten years' time, please discuss why you believe this. --Yamla 22:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe this info will be relevant in ten years time, but my question is why is this info on the Zac Efron article and no one seems to mind? ----Ðysepsion † ^{Speak your mind} 03:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Look at the Zac Efron talk page where the information is being questioned for the same reasons. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions

ZAC AND VANESSA are dating! --Miquah 10:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

There's a rumor that says they just broke up !?!?!

WP:RS. We don't do rumours. --Yamla 21:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

its WP:N becauses its triva,part of most articles, Cited and current informantion/people together(consesus) says it useful..WP:CON

Plus it is needed info many people do not know iot and therefore it should be in the trivia section of HSM EVEN as a past trivia because it relates to the movie, Plus here because it relates to both his article and HSM 1&2 _____.:!Ninja!:._____ 20:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

In Rolling Stone Vanessa was awarded Hottest Jailbait of 2006. should this honor (or whatever it is) be mentioned?Technobabble1 23:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe this picture is from 3 years ago. Could someone find something more recent (possibly from the movie or press) and swap it? (Make sure to be careful with copyright)--Jonthecheet 06:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

(Note--above comment was edited/vandalised somewhat by 205.155.33.107 (reverted) Weien 05:45, 24 February 2006 (UTC))

Hm... looks like the image has already been cut out, in this edit (Feb 16, 06). But isn't it better to have an older picture than to not have one at all (don't think appearances change that quickly ^^). Should we revert it back? Weien 22:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Her appearance is fairly similar in High School Musical. The only main difference is hairstyle. All the easily available current photos are probably licensed by Disney. I'm going to put the pic back in, and I'll look for another one. Bpogi92 23:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Never mind. I will leave it as it is for the moment. I've requested permission from the webmaster of Vanessa Anne Online to use one of the pics on there. Bpogi92 00:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

If you're unable to get permission from the webmaster, I can try taking a (somewhat low-res) screenshot/screencap from High School Musical--do you know if that'd be copyvio? Weien 00:09, 18 February 2oo4 (UTC)l

Oh, and any particular reason for not putting it (the original pic) back in for the moment? ^^ Weien 00:11, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

No not really; just too lazy. thing, and I am not sure what exactly that means when it comes to copy-vio. The TV Tom thing dates back to March, which was before you posted it here, but I'm still not sure. Anyway, the main reason I removed a lot of the text was the break of Wikipedia:NPOV, for instance, lines like "Vanessa is able to incorporate both backgrounds into her daily lifestyle" (??), "there's no doubt that her talent will get her there", "which she showcases her abilities as a triple threat", "This role shot her to stardom as she become known all over America. High School Musical has even gone world-wide, exposing Vanessa to the world!" (and especially the "!" after many sentences). This is all not exactly neutral. I incorporated, however, most of the actual information into the article as it is now. As for the trivia, some of it was already in the article, some of it was redundant; I suppose some of it could be put into a "Personal life" section ("Trivia" sections in themselves are un-encyclopedic). I know I seem to be too harsh, but basically these are the kinds of standards we should aspire to. See Larisa Oleynik, Amanda Bynes or Mandy Moore for neutral, well-organized and fully sourced (citations for where you got the information - reliable sources like interviews, for example - are important) articles that are in Wikipedia:Good articles status. Hope that helps... Mad Jack 04:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

It's nice to see that there is at least someone actively working on this who is not a vandal or a crazed fan. And who is also familiar with Wikipedia policy. Bpogi92 00:37, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah... in that sense, I always feel like the odd man out here Mad Jack 00:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

it is so true that vanessa is with somebody.

Gabrielle

i think vanessa and zac are boyfriend and girl friend don't you think because it's geting werid everyday do they go to the same high school or something and who ever said that vanessa has not got somebody it's not true i heard that zac and vanessa have been dataing. so i have been loking for a boy as well

Fan site

Ok, Vanessa Anne Online is just a fansite, and whenever I try to add Vanessa Anne Network, people keep deleting it. It's a newer site and I like it, and I know a lot of people that like it, so that's why I put it on here. They have good updates on that site and they have a good forum too. They keep us updated on Television Appearances and other stuff too. I first read about the Emmy Nominations for High School Musical on there, so they're pretty good at getting news about Vanessa. I believe that it should be aloud to be added on here in the external links section along with Vanessa Anne Online, because it is not a "spammy" website. It's a good website with the biggest Vanessa forums.

We are allowed one fansite under Wikipedia:External links, so that can be the one if you want. Mad Jack 21:06, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Image

How about this Image? It's small, but it really make's her look like me. Click to so the image

Doesn't look like this image is available for our use. Check out the site's copyright policy. --Yamla 02:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

New Pic

Is it possible to change her bio pic...again? I'm sorry, but can we please have one that doesn't have her hair blown everywhere? It doesn't look nice to place that on her bio. There are tons of gorgeous pics of Vanessa at the TCAs. --KaitlynBelle 22:51, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Picture

We definitely need some kind of picture for the header... if anyone can help... Mad Jack 05:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

can we put the LASTEST pix of vanessa and zac in their bio?just for the sake to prove others wrong..that they are STILL dating.--Miquah 03:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Almost certainly not. See WP:FU. --Yamla 14:01, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

formatting issues?

Wait ... what happened here? — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 22:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome for the picture.

Thanks to my free time, I was able to service to you all with a photo of Vanessa Anne Hudgens.

The picture is from IMDB and all respects are to the publishers itself. I assume you all know that it's for the terms specified on the information page of the image.

Remember. --AOL Alex 01:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I removed this tag because it should only be posted on the image pages themselves. As for your picture, it seems to have been deleted. The only pictures that we're apparently allowed to put in the header are free pictures (i.e. ones that Wikipedia users or others took themselves and allow free use of) or promotional images designed specifically to promote the person in question. Of course, we can always sneak in other pics, like screen shots and the like, and hope they don't get removed. Mad Jack 01:04, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Vanessa Hudgens

I think its time the article's name be moved to "Vanessa Hudgens". Because her singing career has often refered to her as such. Even though I personally like it as "Vanessa Anne Hudgens", I think its time to do so. Tell me what you guys think. ЅυđÜѕєя85 Talk to me 13:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

This sounds like a good idea to me. Any objections? We would certainly leave Vanessa Anne Hudgens as a redirect. --Yamla 13:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Like Suduser85, I like it with the Anne in the middle, but I support this name redirect. bibliomaniac15 00:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Let's give this a few more days. If there are a few people who want to appeal to/against this decision, please feel free to do so.ЅυđÜѕєя85 Talk to me 13:01, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think is time to rename the article..... I like better "Vanessa Hudgens"...and as musician she is refered like that

I oppose. As an actor, she's credited as Vanessa Anne Hudgens. She's originally an actor, so it should stay as Vanessa Anne. Pink moon 1287 19:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I also agree that we should rename it as Vanessa Hudgens. We could leave Vanessa Anne Hudgens as a redirect. User:StarbuckDude

I also think it should be Vanessa Hudgens; more and more she is credited without the Anne.

Her most popular fan website, http://www.vanessa-hudgens.com, does not include Anne.

Also her official myspace does not include it. http://www.myspace.com/vanessahudgens

Ethnicity & name

Hudgens is half-filipino as her mother is pure filipina. I also believe that the "Other names" section be deleted as it is not a totally different name, it just removed the second name of Hudgens. kathzzzz® 10:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

she was home schooled until the 7 grade.

huh???? kathzzzz® 09:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually she is Filipino, Spanish, Irish, Indian, and Chinese! She said that once in an interview. --~~Roxy3 00:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)Roxy3

She is just saying that to make her sound exotic. PrincessOfHearts 18:31, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Well what she said in the interview was true about her ethnicity. --72.199.189.59 04:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

When I read what she claims her ethnicity is I almost cried laughing. No-one has that much blood mixed in them! I know that the US is a melting pot but come on! Unless some distant relatives of hers were hookers it just wouldn't happen. Looking from the outside at US claims to ethnicity it is clear that many people clutch at straws. A big one is the Irish connection. Many people in the US claim to have Irish blood when what they mean is that some old decendent they never met came from Ireland a hundred or more years ago. They've never been to Ireland or anything. If you follow all this ethnicity stuff back I am in fact part English, part ape! Cls14 00:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

• Well, she is half-Filipino, so it doesn't surprise me with the litany of supposed ethnicities. Filipinos are know for grasping at ethnic straws and "embellishing" their family pedigrees. It's practically a Filipino pastime. A good article to read about this on Wikipedia is the colonial mentality article.--Wambeter 09:42, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

another reason why Zac isn't on the HSM tour

It says that Zac isn't on the tour because of the filming of Hairspray, but he isn't also because his voice isn't used in the movie. Since everyone else is singing live, it would be kind of hard to have only him lip sync to the songs, and Drew Seely was his actual voice in HSM, the reason why Drew's there. 70.170.93.169 04:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Zac did sing in the movie his voice was blended with Seeley's to make it just right and to capture the hearts of all of the young girls watching the movie. Zac could have toured, but of course he was filming not because of HSM.Hollister QT 03:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Couple

Zac said he likes Vanessa because she being herself. but she likes him too

Next time, please sign your comment using four tithes. Do you have any sources to back up your claim? Storched 02:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

ZAC AND VANESSA are oficially dating...we should add this one to her bio-page so that there would be no confusion..and there are some interviews in omg which proves it and if you don't get contented with that..check thei web www.zanessa.com you should see it for yourslef --Miquah 03:18, 12 August 2007 (UTC)sharp-witted girl

Garcia Brothers?

The name of the show is "The Brothers Garcia" not "The Garcia Brothers". The latter is an entirely different show which took place more than 40 years before Vanessa was born.

Personal life

There are a lot of grammatical errors in the Personal life section. Edit, anyone? It really seems like an 11-year-old fan wrote it.Sammyluvlucas 01:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC) Maybe it was an 11 year old fan. Wikipedia isn't just for old people you know, lol. Cls14 00:10, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

You

whats wrong if vanessa is dating with zac?? is there any problem??

i agree...they look good on screen and off screen..they fitas sweethearts...we should support them--Miquah 03:20, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Ecko Unlimited

Hudgens is now a model for Ecko Unlimited along with JoJo.

Redirection

If this page is to be redirected again, the information should stay the same, or at least very similar. If something is cited here, it should be cited on the new page. Be careful of this.

Her Voice Type

I think she is a great singer, so I would like to know further about her range and whether she is a soprano or a mezzo-soprano etc. I personally think she is soubrette but Britney is one and Vanessa's voice is stronger, but Vanessa's voice has the sweetness of a soubrette. So Id appreciate any ones views on this. Many thanks! :D 82.12.250.153 20:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
