[edit] 'Date of Death?'

Well, the dictionary definition of "Death" is "the termination of life". Although one could argue that since Edward's heart stopped beating, he is dead, I argue. I think of dead as not being able to talk walk, breath, function, ect. I think that the "date of death" should be removed.

i second that. well sort of. what else are we supposed to put? Princess Rebel (talk) 13:03, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I've changed it a bit. Does it look a bit better? ~ Bella Swan^? 11:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 'Description'

What on earth is up with this page! The description passage is totally unencylopedic, 'In the sunlight, his skin sparkles like a million facets of beautiful diamonds.' Come on. If it is indeed a quote, then put quotations around it and say 'He is described as etc. etc.

This sounds like it was written by schoolgirls. Heirware (talk) 06:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Well it very likely was written by schoolgirls. If you want to take up the task of doing a full cleanup/rewrite, that would be great. If I can ever find the time, I'll do it myself. Andrea (talk) 15:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought as such. Can't say I can do rewrite, because I haven't actually read the book. Heirware (talk) 05:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

If you guys want I'll clean it up for you.I actually have read the book and would be happy to clean it up.Mr. Green^chat 17:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I've read the first two books, so I'll do a clean up on the stuff that I know. Princess Rebel (talk) 23:10, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

And don't diss schoolgirls! I'm a schoolgirl! Princess Rebel (talk) 08:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] deletion?!

why's this up for deletion?! hes the second main character in the book and going to be a main character in his own book soon! This cant be deleted! did i miss something?! --70.230.158.159 (talk) 17:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Subjective Writing

I find that most of this article is quite biased--"devastatingsly, inhumanly beautiful". I'm aware those are words that Meyer used, however, it's unnecessary to repeat them in the article. Too often do I see small quotes from Meyer's books to illustrate just how sheerly wonderful Edward is, and more wonderful adjectives editors come on their own besides. I know Edward is a much-loved character, however, the fangirls need to remember this is an encyclopedia, not a fansite. If you want to hear about how wonderful Edward is, find one of those fansites, or read the books. Otherwise, this article should maintain a out-of-universe, neutral point-of-view. Flutterby Lullaby 05:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, if we put it in a certain way we can still make the site unbiased. Whenever I have written something unneautral I have always referenced that either Bella or the books say that, I don't go straight out and say how hot he is. We do have to make it out that the book and Bella do refer to him as "completely and utterly perfect". Princess Rebel (talk) 13:06, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re-direct

This article should re-direct to Edward Cullen (Twilight). That is the specific series he is from, and to avoid confusion with any other fictional Edward Cullens that may be around. Disinclination 08:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Done. -Bella 20:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh...Wait...did you want the page to be renamed Edward Cullen (Twilight) and this page (the article, I mean) should redirect to Edward Cullen (Twilight)? Bella 17:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I fixed it...as you can see. Tell me if I'm wrong. Bella 17:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edward's mother

where does it say she knew Carlisle was a vampire? She told him to save Edward any way he could, but there's no proof she knew, is there?

There is no proof, and nowhere did anyone outright say she knew, but it was deeply hinted in the book that she knew Carisle was "special". -Bella 20:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

She believed that Carlisle could help her son not that he was a vampire. --70.230.158.159 (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] eclipse...

Shouldn't there be an Eclypse section, as there's one for both Twilight and New Moon? Sophiakorichi 02:03, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Sophiakorichi

Yes, there should be...We're all just too lazy to write it. XD Raven23 19:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

yeah...i'll write it when im finished with the book in about...two days? (i havent started it, you see...) Sophiakorichi 01:15, 29 August 2007 (UTC)Sophiakoirchi

I'm getting the book today so I should be finished it in a day or two and do some much needed work on all Eclipse things.  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 12:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I just finished it, but i htink i've got to read it again and know the series of events on this one. it gets complicated... Sophiakorichi 15:35, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Sophiakoirchi

[edit] ummm

shouldn't the rosalie section be in preasent tence? the whole thing is in past tence, and most of it has nothing to do with edward... Sophiakorichi 01:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)Sophiakorichi

I changed the tense, but info that talks about her past as a vampire should be in past tense. Bella Swan 13:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, guys, I know there still isn't an eclipse section, but school is hindering. I promise when I'm done with it, it'll be awesome. Sophiakorichi 01:16, 25 September 2007 (UTC)Sophiakorichi

It's OK. Who doesn't know (or hate) school? Nobody's rushing you take you time and make it good. :) Bella Swan 23:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] eclipse section created!

I know, its been a long time coming, but there it is. Tell me if its too much! --75.104.85.179 18:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

sorry, forgot to sign that last one. --Sophiakorichi 18:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

it never actually says in the book that rosalie was raped. it was implied and most people assume that, but stephenie meyer doesnt actually write that she was, in fact, raped. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.209.209.174 (talk) 23:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gender-specific words

When writing about females (i.e. Bella, Tanya, and Rosalie) don't describe them with masculine words. I've gone through and fixed that, but of all the grammatical things you could avoid, that should be easiest. (It said Bella was his "fiancé", and Rosalie and Tanya were "blond".) --FaerytaleMalice (talk) 08:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Uh, who has a problem with blond? I use blonde and blond, whichever comes out. Apart from really obvious stuff like Mr and Mrs, Don and Donna, and Fiance and Fiancee, all this masculine feminine stuff is all old fashioned.

At least, that's what I've been taught in oz, and I am a humanities student. Princess Rebel (talk) 08:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, depending on where you live, some people spell things different ways, which was probably the primary reason for people having spelling things differently. ~ Bella Swan^? 11:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

This page is FILLED with spoilers. Like, in Edward's description it says "Spouse: Isabella Swan (fiancee)". Big one. Perhaps a warning? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.95.67.8 (talk) 23:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

According to WP:SPOILER, if you don't want spoiling, then don't go to the page. Commen sense should tell you that. ~ Bella Swan 00:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is Edward love?

I heard that Edward was love. Is this true? Mike R (talk) 03:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You're not making any sense in the world. Maybe it's because I'm Australian, and your talk is too American (not meaning to be rude) for a Aussie like me to grasp. PLEASE REPHRASE. Princess Rebel (talk) 13:09, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
