"Young Adults"

The introduction to the article states that the book is most popular among "young adults." For better accuracy, "young adults" should be changed to "teenage girls" or "young women." I believe that this change should be seriously considered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whittcal (talk • contribs) 23:29, November 22, 2009

Based on what? --Mike Allen ^{talk · contribs} 01:25, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Teenage girls would sound too biased, IMO. And anwyays, the Saga is marketed towards YOUNG ADULTS and not TEEN GIRLS and plus Twilight is not categorized as chick lit so young adults is right.Mo HH92 ^Talk 03:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What about all the twi-tard 30 and 40-something soccer moms?Ndriley97 (talk) 19:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or the gays? All of this is OR, though. --Mike Allen ^{talk · contribs} 20:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And there is quite a few guys about 14, 15, 16 who like to read the books —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emily0062 (talk • contribs) 21:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

YEAH SOME GUYS MAY FIND IT INTERESTING TO KNOW THE STORY. AND FOR SOME DUMB REASON THEY MY LIKE THE WHOLE ROMANCE THING. OR MAYBE THEY JUST ENJOY VAMPIRESPunksk8r99 (talk) 18:32, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request from 84.57.133.66 (talk), 8 July 2010

Please add german as language --84.57.133.66 (talk) 16:53, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not done There is no article for the Twilight series in German. There are articles for the separate books, however, and I will make sure there are links to the German articles in those articles. Also, in the future, please use {{editsemiprotected}} when requesting an edit. It helps us get to the request quicker

Impartiality

Isn't the idea of these pages to give an impartial view of a topic, as opposed to a gushing review? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.211.116.201 (talk) 03:24, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Protected Page?

Just suggesting that this page should be either fully protected or semi-protected because it attracts people who detest the Twilight Saga and therefore edits the page to make up some random stuff about it. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but its getting rediculous now. I have had to change it a few times (Only Minor things) but its unfair on the editors who have written paragraphs, to see their work being disrespected by removal and then slander. Sorry for going on, but it's just not fair. Thanks for your time —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emily0062 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename?

Just wondering, shouldn't this article be renamed "The Twilight Saga" instead of "Twilght (series)"?? The Twilight Saga is the proper name, isn't it? --Glimmer721 ^talk 01:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Werewolves?

It's specifically stated in the books that the Quileutes aren't werewolves, that should really be changed so it's not inaccurate.
