message: Is there any correlation with the seasons and the elements? I'm wondering this because during Winter, the Book of Water focuses on Aang learning Waterbending. The same goes with Spring and Earthbending and I assume with Summer and Firebending. I'm just wondering this because it seems that there is.--InsaneZeroG 22:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Elements and Seasons 

message: I have noticed lately that there have been episode edits to include UNANNOUNCED episodes from the IMDb and other unreliable, unpublished sources, it's leading me to think that this page should be semi-protected again. I have edited some things back to the published (or at least known) episodes. As a reader, if i had not read the talk pages beforehand, I would easily assume these episodes were "real".

thread_title: Why insist on these hacked (or at least unpublished) episodes?!

message: OK, its time we do this the right way, instead of revert warring. The fact in question is the claim that the Airbender shown in the opening title sequence is Aang. Some maintain that it is, others maintain that is not, and still others maintain that it is indeterminate.
My opinion: it might be Aang. However, "might be" does not belong on Wikipedia. I would ask, then, that the editors who believe, with certainty, that the figure is Aang explain here why they do. Remember, Wikipedia only works when we have discussion.--Fyre2387 03:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why couldnt it be Haru? I dont see it looking anything like boulder, and the figure has the same hairstyle as Haru as well...
:It looks more like the Boulder than Haru. Haru isn't some bearded, bulked up body builder with short hair. H2P (Yell at me for what I've done) 20:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Note: This article has a small number of in-line citations for an article of its size and subject content. Currently it would not pass criteria 2b.
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed.

message: Ive edited in many pages noting the drill where it is a link thingy that leads to an article about a tunnel boring machine. Is that OK? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.160.145.3 (talk • contribs) .
That is fine, but it was not needed because it was already stated in the episode's notes. Whydoit 03:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

message: As we know the Avatars are a line of powerful benders with the ability to master all of the elements.
So far, we know that:
-Aang is an Avatar and is an Airbender
-Avatar Roku was the Firebender Avatar before Aang
-Avatar Kyoshi was the Earthbender Avatar before Roku.
-Before Kyoshi was a Waterbender that appeared to be from the Northern Water tribe as indicated by his garmets
-Before that Avatar was a Female Airbender
Are there any indications about the names of these avatars?

message: In THe avatar spirit When azula attacks zuko at one point she makes this major scrach right before she makes lighting. where do I put this? (note currently whathing the episode on turbonick)Djf2014 22:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean when Azula scratches Zuko's head with her fingernails? I wouldn't call that a "major scratch," as it does not leave scars in any subsequent episodes, and if I recall correctly, had already disappeared when Zuko cut his hair at the end of the episode. Certainly it's not worth mentioning in the main article. --Herald Alberich 03:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Error 

message: This was discussed in the Archive, but I want to refresh the consensus on the fact since I haven't been around in a while.  What is capitialized and what is not?
So far I understand that Benders, that is the people who bend, are capitalized.  For example: "Zuko is a Firebender."
The act/art of bending by itself is not capitalized.  For example, "Aang, an Airbender, uses airbending to protect his friends from other hostile Benders."
I think this first convention was adopted based on how Nickelodeon initially did it on their official website for Avatar.  I don't know if it's still that way, but I like this convention so far.  --Crisu 16:15, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: hey I was wondering if there were only going to be 3 books (season). If so please post it in the introduction in the article Avatar: The last Airbender.
:Well, we would if we knew. That would seem to make sense given the storyline, but any mention at this point would be speculation, and even if the creators announce that the story will end after book three, we don't know whether Nick will order another season until the show is completely over and done with. --Herald Alberich 22:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are only three because Nickelodeon only orderd two more when the found that the first season was very succesfull. The 4th book could always be added at a later date. Alfatrion 15:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Only 3? 

message: Hello,
Under Katara's discription, it says that her new goal is to teach a much 'slower learning' Aang water-bending.  In the episode with the water scroll, Aang seems to be a natural where Katara struggles with the skills.
Are there other references to his learning that I've missed?
Thanks

replies: text: In "Siege of the North," after Aang and Katara begin tutelage under Master Pakku, Katara quickly rises to the top of the class while Aang lazes about making snowmen. He probably could have learned more quickly than Katara, but he didn't. In "The Avatar State," Pakku gives Katara the task of completing Aang's training. --Herald Alberich 04:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that the front paragraph is filled with a lot of information about where Avatar airs that might be best set after a description of the show itself.
Example:
"Avatar: The Last Airbender (known as Avatar: The Legend of Aang in the UK, Brazil, India and New Zealand) is an American animated television series airing on Nickelodeon. Set in a fantastic, Asian-influenced world of martial arts and elemental magic, Avatar: The Last Airbender follows the adventures of Aang, the successor to a long line of Avatars, and his friends Katara, Sokka and later Toph, and their two animal companions Appa and Momo in their quest to save the world from the merciless Fire Nation, while avoiding capture from pursuers including Prince Zuko and other hunters from the Fire Nation.
"Originally slated to start November 2004, it debuted on TV February 21, 2005 and has also become available on iTunes. Produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, California, and animated in South Korea (where many animated television series are animated), it was co-created and executive produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. In the United States, new episodes air Friday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Nickelodeon cable network. New seasons of Avatar begin in the spring and episodes are rerun in the summer; new episodes return in the autumn and the season ends in early winter."

replies: text: Hmm, yeah, I like this better. Right now the description of the actual show is kinda lost in between the technical details and the ratings info. I'll switch it tomorrow if no one objects, or someone else can do it, of course. --Herald Alberich 04:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Okay, I'm going to edit the page, and remove the links to obvious, everyday articles. I doubt you can find a fluent English speaker who doesn't know what November is. Also, is inventiveness a true English word? I'm guessing that if it's not, then there might be other words in there that aren't official English words. Abby724 17:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
