"Since Twilight's initial publication, the book has received mainly positive reviews from critics" The most untrue statment I've ever heard, The book has been allmost universally panned outside it's target audience, and has a massive community of websites dedicated to hating it. Plus there's the whole thing about the main character being a Mary Sue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.168.135.228 (talk) 04:44, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
there are plenty of reliable sources out there stating negative views towards twilight. it doesn't matter if it's reliable, it the site reviewed twilight and is a reliable source, and of course verifiable, than yes it can be placed in here. Saying "this can never be changed unless proven otherwise" is a bit much though.Bread Ninja (talk) 18:24, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
The pasts of all the vampires in the book are interesting - Alice Cullen can't remember her past, Jasper was created for a newborn army; Rosalie Hale was attacked; Emmett was being mauled by a bear; Edward Cullen was dying of a Spansih desiese;The created of all the vampires, Dr.Cullen, was hunted down by a vampire; Esme Cullen jumped off a cliff, and when Bella is finally changed into a vampire, she is dying by giving birth to a half vampire half human baby. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.162.188 (talk) 14:52, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
I personally, do not like the Twilight books, but, some of you go over the top with your hatred. Saying that they should be "burned" and things like that is extremely immature. I just found it uninteresting, although it's clear that Meyer has a great talent in writing. The books were well written, but I'm not one for fantasy. Still, it's absolutely ridiculous how some people respond. Just because you don't like the book, doesn't mean you have to go around saying hateful things. Everyone has the right to voice his or own opinion: freedom of speech, right? But, if what you have to say is just downright mean, keep it to yourself. Another thing that is rude is judging it without reading it. A large majority of people I come across say God-awful things about the books when they haven't even read them. There are a lot of books I've read that I didn't particularly enjoy, but that doesn't mean I go around slashing it every chance I get (Twilight, for example). My advice to the biased is to grow up, and learn some respect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.33.128.227 (talk) 17:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
You think that Stephenie Meyer has "great talent in writing?" Jesus, that's pathetic. Go take a few literature courses, then come back and tell us why that was the most profoundly stupid and ignorant statement on all of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.250.75.71 (talk) 23:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
I totally agree with the person above. I on the other hand actually enjoyed the books and it really bugs me when people say awful things about it without even reading it. ~KKL —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kerissangel (talk • contribs) 01:19, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
So if we have to back our statements up with facts, then a sentence saying, Since Twilight's initial publication, the book has received mainly _______ reviews from critics, should have no place in any article ever. It does not matter if it is a positive or negative statement, just link to the reviews and excerpts, and let the article reader form their own thoughts. You can not empirically know if most of the reviews have gone one way or the other in this digital age, especially if we are counting School Library Journal and Teenreads as worthwhile sources for book reviews. That said, I will now remove the offending statement based on the logic of the people who think it should stay. If you think that the majority of the book reviews are positive, that is a fine thing for you to think, provide a source that shows the majority of the book reviews from all outlets so that we can know for sure if over half of them are positive. This is a ridiculous statement, and a ridiculous argument, for a ridiculously gushing article. I just want information, not how much people love or hate it, no one cares what random wikipedia people think, they just want information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.50.187.13 (talk) 06:45, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Just because you don't like the book, doesn't mean you have to go around saying hateful things. Everyone has the right to voice his or own opinion: freedom of speech, right? But, if what you have to say is just downright mean, keep it to yourself. This quote is an oxymoron. If you truly believe in freedom of speech you should not be bothered by the fact that some people UTILIZE said freedom right? And they don't HAVE to voice their opinion, they choose to do so just like you. By saying you have a problem whit them voicing their opinion your condratidicting yourself. To summarize: defending anything whit the argument "free speech" makes one come of as marvelous hypocrite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.109.102.252 (talk) 19:59, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Can i just say, you can say and think what you want on a twilight haters blog or whatever but this is wikipedia telling everyone about the novel, and seriously people who don't like the book, why are you even looking at this then. My guess is for attention and to cause trouble. Cya :D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.47.48.198 (talk) 17:49, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Biased wouldnt be the turm I would think of when it came to these things. So I dont get how you could ttype those things on here anyway!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.160.176.81 (talk) 14:47, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I would like to add a character section that lists all the characters in the book of twilight. I would like for the readers to get a sense of what the characters are like. Also so they can get a picture in there mind of what the actors loo like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dancerchick99 (talk • contribs) 19:54, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
The link to the hardcover is a referal link, someone has added their ID to the link to earn money from the people using the link <link removed> should be changed to http://www.amazon.ca/Twilight-Stephenie-Meyer/dp/0316160172 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.8.4.225 (talk) 15:20, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning this long-running Youtube video series by user nerimon? They seem to have attracted a bit of attention. The first video has nearly 900k views and there seems to be some blogging interest e.g.this. Just a thought, thanks. —Half Price 21:01, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Can you find a reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.242.219.182 (talk) 00:39, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
((Edit semi-protected)) Please excuse me if I am not doing this correctly as I am a first time editor. I would like to request that reference to Parts Model, Kimbra Hickey be added to the section covering the cover of the Twilight book. Hickey is the hand model that appears on the cover of the book holding the apple. A link to her website: http://handsoftwilight.com/ Thank you, Fixafone123 (talk) 04:49, 12 November 2010 (UTC) Fixafone123
twilight is a good book look at it— Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.90.247.45 (talk) 01:02, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Okay, I personaly like the series for the writing. The fluff and promise of love for eternity is a bit unreal. Love can not last forever, it will die eventually. I have read all of them, and I think the writing is in very good order. I have to admit, that the people who claim that they hate this series so much that they have to burn them...it's a bit over the top. Okay, you don't like it, doesn't mean that others don't. You have the right to your opinion, and we should all respect that. Just as others have the right to theirs. To me, Twilight and the other books, also teaches things about abstinece. Waiting for the right time before you give the one thing away that you can't get back. Also, the choice of choosing things from the heart, or listening to what others think you should do. I am a fantasy reader, but I will read anything. In my opinion, Stephenie Meyer's writing is good, and I think that she should continue writing.

I Have Read This Book Over And Over Again And I Loved EVERY Second Of It. Stephine Meyer Is An Amazing Writer As I Have Read All Of The Books She Has Ever Wrote. Twilight Is A Good Book If You Want Suspence. I Recommend It To EVERYONE! I Mainly Recommend It To People Who HATE Reading As It Is The Perfect Book. I Strongly Disagree With Everyone Who Think Differently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.121.229.181 (talk) 19:05, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Not moved – I applied the Thriller treatment as suggested by SSTflyer. — JFG talk 07:17, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
Twilight (Meyer novel) → Twilight (novel) – The Stephanie Meyer novel is by far the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for novels with the name "Twilight." [1] In the off-chance someone is looking for a different novel, a hatnote can guide them to the others. -- Tavix (talk) 23:37, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
I've seen hundreds of disambiguated page titles (mostly concerning film) and the almost universal format is Twilight (2005 novel), which ought to fully disambiguated, though one (shudder) would have to check.
After all my time here, "(Meyer novel)" just does not look right. It's too bad the previous move discussion didn't address this possibility when it had the chance. — MaxEnt 22:43, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 9 January 2019 and 8 May 2019. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Chaseshea.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. reasonable arguments were made on both sides of this, with those in favor of the move citing WP:PTOPIC and WP:PDAB, and those opposed citing WP:TITLE and WP:DISAMBIGUATION. It may be the case that somewhere else (e.g. Emma (novel)) a consensus was reached in favor of a change like this, but that is not the case here. And on wikipedia, policy and local consensus reigns when no overarching consensus exists. In this case, no consensus was achieved.

Twilight (Meyer novel) → Twilight (novel) – Stephenie Meyer's Twilight was immensely successful and most certainly meets the higher notability criteria set out at WP:PDAB. Pageviews this year are at about 98% vs. the other novels named Twilight. The last RM in 2016 was held before the current PDAB rules were established (3 Sep 2019.) 162 etc. (talk) 20:15, 29 October 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 00:59, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
for the rest of the world this American youth novel is obscureis demonstrably false, and
and will be more so with timeis a non-argument (see WP:CRYSTALBALL). Please base your argument on the facts: this Twilight novel is significantly more well-known than the others. WPscatter t/c 02:08, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
