Talk:Zack Morris (Saved by the Bell)

Who played him?
This article doesn't say anything about the actor who played this character or anything that isn't directly drawn from the plot of the show, hence the tag. Needs some context! At the moment it's verging on fancruft...Peeper 10:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

This isn't about Mark-Paul Gosselaar. It's about Zack Morris, hence when you search for Zack Morris you come to this page. The actor's disposition is almost irrelevant in this case.

As well...my God, the college section of this website is an absoloute disgrace. Here's an idea: watch a damn episode before you put the pen to paper. Seriously, people. I've cleaned up that butchery as best I can.

I've substantially rewritten the article. I think it accurately describes the character, and makes it clear it's about a fictional character. Thus, I think the factual accuracy and fiction distinction tags can be deleted. (I do realize this article still needs more editing for tenses, etc. I'll work on that later if nobody else does it.)

I'm very impressed with the new article. I'll contribute some more to it as well very soon.

Factual accuracy?
What is this tag referring to now? If there is a dispute, it should be here, but it doesn't seem to be anymore? Remove the tag?

Note: Zach's ancestry includes a Native American Chief as revealed in a SBTB episode. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheHYPO (talk • contribs).


 * Well considering there isn't a single source in the entire article, every word of it is disputable. Technically the whole article could be deleted since its unverifiable. I would strongly suggest adding some sources to the article. If you can source all the information, then you can remove the tag. Gwernol 13:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:FICT and WP:WAF might be worth a read... Ichormosquito 03:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Father?
I thought I noticed at one point a discrepancy between 2 different episodes giving different names to Zack's father. One episode calls him Derek, and another episode gives him a different name that I don't remember. Does anyone else know about this? --70.160.97.60 (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You might be thinking of the name mentioned in the show, Good Morning, Miss Bliss, which was the precursor to Saved By The Bell. In Good Morning, Miss Bliss, Zack's father was known as Peter Morris.  Luke4545 (talk) 22:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's it. Peter is the name.
 * Since this page is about the character Zack Morris and is not specific to Saved by the Bell, shouldn't Peter also be listed under the family section? --70.160.97.60 (talk) 15:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Tags I added
I added the synthesis tag in reference to the speculation about his year of birth. Without a reference to that conclusion, you cannot take those 2 pieces of information and synthesize them to project his birthday. Also, to fix some of the in-universe tone and incorrect verb tenses, but I may have missed some.--TheZachMorrisExperience (talk) 00:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
