[edit] Welcome

Welcome to the new Twilight series page. This page is brand new and far from being perfect, so please feel free to contribute. Raven23 22:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

should there be more summary for the books, or should we just let those who visit follow the links to the book summary pages? i'd be happy to write a (slightly) more detailed summery for each. any other improvements i'd like to help with as well. Sophiakorichi 23:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC)Sophiakorichi

I think we're okay with the summaries we've got now. Anyone looking for a more detailed summary can just click on the links to the book pages. Raven23 19:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

one more question: should there be a breaking dawn page? i know there's very little information about it as of now, but as there's a midnight sun page...( i wasnt exactly sure where the best place to ask this question is...) Sophiakorichi 19:39, 15 September 2007 (UTC)Sophiakorichi

disreguard that last comment; there already is a breaking dawn page. its...bad, though. Sophiakorichi 19:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)Sophiakorichi

There really shouldn't be an article for "Breaking Dawn" until we get a lot more information on it. All that's known about it right now is the title, the publisher, and the release date; that's not really enough for a good article. Raven23 19:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vampire and werewolf information

Does anyone else think we should create separate pages for vampires of the Twilight universe and werewolves of the Twilight universe? As it is, we have the information repeated in nearly every character article other than Bella's, which is a mite annoying. Raven23 19:46, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I created the article Vampire (Twilight)- If its lacking anything essential or if it needs any more "meat" added to it, feel free to do whatever ^^ --PolarWolf ( sign ) 00:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

You guys are doing a great job- Stephenie Meyer's work is pure genius. It is possibly the best love story ever in creation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.81.71.204 (talk) 03:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I think a Werewolf (Twilight) article is definitely in order, especially since after New Moon and Eclipse we know a whole lot more about them. I am (for whatever reason) deathly afraid to even create a page (much less edit anything besides typos O.O ) but maybe i could help...collaborate? Rochelle CMN (talk) 06:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot possibly inspired by Psyche and Cupid of Greek mythology?

Did anyone notice that this story compares drastically to the story of Psyche and Cupid in Greek mythology?

To me, that sounds like original research, which isn't allowed in Wikipedia articles. Raven23 02:50, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Twilight (series) vs. Twilight Series

Is there some way we can lessen the confusion between the Twilight (series) meaning the books and the Twilight Series, a bicycle race? Could we put a "This article is for the cycling race. For the young adult novel, see here." Something like that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.168.148 (talk) 02:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. ~ Bella Swan 02:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

I've been considering putting the Twilight series wikipage up for GA nomination, but first, a lot of things need to be cleaned up. The grammar and phrasing are pretty sub-par and it couldn't hurt to spruce up the sections for each book. I'll be going around cleaning up character pages, doing link-checks,redirects confirmations and the like. Any one who would be interested into getting this as a good article can post a message on my talk-page and I'll get you a list of what needs to be done. Hope we can get this as a GA!

Things You Can Do Right Now 1. The entire section on "Sybolism" needs to be cleaned up in the next week or so. I really don't want to delete it because the books do hold alot of symbolism, just not the points mentioned in the section. I'm reading "Twilight" right now so I really don't have an extensive knowledge of it but if someone could be a savior and swoop in and do some fix ups, that'd be great.

2. All the charecter pages have a big in-universe style to them which needs to be fixed. I'll be doing the best I can with them but, agian, my knowledge only spawns as far as the first couple chapters of "Twilight"

3. Grammer and gender specifications need to be fixed.

4. I'm working on creating a WikiProject:Twilight because they are a phenomenal series of books and I think that thier Wikis should be as up to par as they are. Keep an eye out for it, m'kay!Broadway4life155 (talk) 14:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it's anywhere near GA status to be honest. I don't even really see the point of the article at the moment. -- Stacey talk to me 17:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I have to agree with that. First, let's find some things on critical reception. With these books' popularity, it can't be so hard. IceUnshattered (talk) 00:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] is it just me or was the symbolism section stolen from a 4th grade book report?

would anyone object to me flat out deleteing it, or do you think there is some way to salvage it? --69.152.250.190 (talk) 03:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I have strongly considered deleting it myself. The only reason I haven't yet is because I feel like I could find some better symbolism to discuss in that section... But I haven't gotten around to that yet. Andrea (talk) 04:02, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I took it out. If anyone wants to write a proper section on Symbolism, they are welcome to. Andrea (talk) 01:03, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
