Talk:Quileute

Language/People Split
I really think this article should be split into Quileute people or just Quileute (for the people) and Quileute language. It seems too confusing for there to be a single article for them both. Of course, it is a stub, so maybe that explains it. --TheSlyFox 12:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Also agree, and ideally a further one for their government. Similar needed splits are common in Native American/First Nation articles; I've made quite a few of them, i.e the splits; mostly just making two stubs nd let 'em grow from there....some growk, some don't, but it helps sort out the categories a lot....Chemakum also, as it happens, needs a similar split (they're  Quileute's cousins and adoptees).Skookum1 (talk) 04:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * PS evolved format should be Quileute for the people, Quileute language for the language; only if there's a situation like Okanagan people is the +people needed; or in some cases where there's a big disambig potential where the single-word becomes the dsismbig page, e.g. Squamish.

Pronunciation?
How do you pronounce "Quileute"? Please use close-enough phonetics, not IPA. :) 99.245.92.47 (talk) 16:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Wolves?
Okay I read Twilight and the whole series and do the people there really have a treaty with the Cullens and other vampires? And do they turn into wolves? Just wanna know:D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.168.69 (talk) 03:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * *Facepalm* This damn well better be a troll or I'm losing all faith in humanity.  There are no werewolves or vampires.  While there may be some people with the last name Cullen, the Cullen family in Twilight is fictional, as in made up, as in not real. *Sigh*  Ian.thomson (talk) 03:20, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * It is worth noting, however, that, as the Quileute believe themselves to be descendent from wolves (as mentioned in the article), the depiction of them as werewolves was seen by many within the tribe as highly offensive. This is a common viewpoint within the tribe to-day, though I don't know of any sources to verify this (I might look later, but if anyone else knows of any, this is probably noteworthy information). 67.183.130.113 (talk) 08:39, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The story told in the "Twilight" about the Quilette Legends was close enough to their History..

The Werewolves of the Quilette history were the actual werewolf. They turned into the big animals(werewolves) for hunt when the night starts. This was because they reached upon biggest sins and were cursed by the nature. In the real history of Quilette Tribe some of those sins include "Murder of their Own Parents". This is the reason that they were cursed and change into wolf in night. And When the day starts They are again transformed into the Humans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Histroholic (talk • contribs) 23:17, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Quileute characters in Twilight
A lot of the recent edits have been adding characters to that section. Would most of the characters be covered by just saying "the Black family, the Clearwater family, and..."...? I'd do it, but I don't want to touch stuff about Twilight. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:01, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I removed most of the list, it was incredibly excessive. Half of those characters are barely even in the series anyways. Andrea  ( talk ) 17:07, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:10, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Alternate spelling?
I used to spend a lot of my time in and around Forks, before the Twilight fans turned it into a tourist trap. I've also been down on the res a lot, and I've seen the name spelled "Quileyute" more than once. Is this merely a misspelling or an actual alternate spelling? --- cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 16:54, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

The result of the proposal was moved. Score one for Team Jacob. --BDD (talk) 18:40, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Quileute people → Quileute – target was moved to "Quileute (tribe)" by JLippert on April 18 2007, then made into dab on Oct 2 2009 by Mdnavman, then moved to current title by Kwami on June 8 2010. This is a PRIMARYTOPIC and MOSTCOMMON issue, the people are by far the MOSTCOMMON and original/primary use of this term and WP:UNDAB needs to be observed. Skookum1 (talk) 06:37, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose until the issue is addressed properly. These should be discussed at a centralized location.
 * There was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't. That could be revisited.  But it really should be one discussion on the principle, not thousands of separate discussions at every ethnicity in the world over whether it should be at "X", "Xs", or "X people".  — kwami (talk) 12:33, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. An identified people should be the primary topic of a term absent something remarkable standing in the way. bd2412  T 02:38, 22 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Support as per the policy Article titles and the guideline Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes). There is no need to redo any guideline as it already supports the un-disabiguated title. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 04:34, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
