replies: text: How does it look so far? I am writing Book 3 now, but I want to know if I should do it a bit differently. Rau's talk 19:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Never mind, nice job. I was unsure how to tackle it seeing as she has only been major parts of insignificant events so far. Rau's talk 19:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I am just now seeing your question. Thanks! You did good on the Book 1 and 2 sections. Anyway, I was planning to tackle this article after Azula anyway. What about trying to get this one to Good Article status? Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 20:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't FC the goal for every article anyway? Rau's talk 22:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I wasn't sure how much of the character reception is actual sourced stuff and how much is vandalism, but a lot of it seems like it should be deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sairith (talk • contribs) 21:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Character reception

message: Alot of Avatar fans have asked in Toy Stories about why Katara does not have a action figure. The company that produces the Avatar figures have replied with statistics claiming that female action figures do not sail as well as the female action figures. Should we have this on the wikipedia page? It answers a long-time Avatar fan's question   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.122.105.214 (talk) 06:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It used to be there, but the source was no longer good so it was removed. Rau's Speak Page 19:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's notable enough. There aren't any female action figures in the Storm Hawks line either, despite there being a lead female protagonist and the main villain being female. Tyciol (talk) 17:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Katara action figure

message: This is in response to a query posted by User:Tintor2.
I'm afraid that it is not the tense and is keeping that tag on the article. It is the fact that events from the show are described from a real-world perspective. Take the first sentence of the Plot Overview section: "Katara grew up as the mature, motherly figure of her family and tribe." A good way to convert this specific sentence is to ass "In the show," to the beginning. Do you see what I am getting at? (However, do not overuse the "In the show" phrase. It gets old really fast.) — Parent5446 (t n c k e l) 23:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Tag on article

message: The newly added abilities section was removed due to it being OR and partly inaccurate. Bending, all bending, is a form of Martial Arts. Saying that she is fighting is inaccurate. It is unsourced. If I felt like stretching it I could say some of it was also POV. Rau's Speak Page 01:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, these sections are always going to find a way back into the articles; ever since we removed them, people automatically put it back in, since they have been there so long. I guess we are just going to have to removed them constantly until we change the norm. — Parent5446 (t [ n] e [ l]) 02:45, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I saw what the author of this section wrote and it was not that far off. All bending is martial arts but not all martial arts is bending. Katara's a great bender but I've never seen her battle without bending. It sounds like a lot of people want to add an abilities section but for some reason they can't. Instead of deleting the whole section; how about writing up an abilities section, like most of the other major characters on the show have on their articles?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.2.60.95 (talk) 21:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, not all martial arts are bending, but to say she can't fight with out bending is OR. If she made the movements of bending even if she wasn't bending, she would display fighting capabilities. What was written was not far off, but it wasn't up to standard either. Rau's Speak Page 00:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Look, you are all arguing the wrong point. Whether it is OR or not, unless the information is a crucial point that directly affects the plot of the story, it should not be included. This pretty much applies to almost everything that was in the abilities section. Even if you could come up with policy-compliant information for the abilities section, the information probably could be integrated into the plot summary section anyway. In other words, there is really no way to generate an abilities section that improves the article. — Parent5446 (t [ n] e [ l]) 01:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Abilities should be added as a section to the info box Template:Infobox Avatar: The Last Airbender character rather than a section in the article. Its obviously notable to the article as it is about what the character can do, for example on  Katara's entry  it would list Waterbending and any other notable abilities, such as bloodbending if you guys so desired. A brief entry would suffice to sum up abilities. Sadly I know not how to add sections to templates otherwise I would have already done so, help would be much appreciated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurowoofwoof111 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You are absolutely right. In fact, I think at one point we had this place in the infobox, but it disappeared at some point. I think it would be a good idea to reinstate it. Are there any objections to this? — Parent5446 (t [ n] e [ l]) 02:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm for a total revamp of the template. Rau's Speak Page 03:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, you're right. Maybe we should take this to the template talk page? — Parent5446 (t [ n] e [ l]) 03:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All right, I brought it up there as well, go here,  to talk about it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurowoofwoof111 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that someone has added Katara's abilities into a section of the article, I think we should allow this information to stay UNTIL an abilities section is added in the info box. And even at that point it would still be reasonable to keep the section in the article as it does go into more detail.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurowoofwoof111 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I'd like to point out that Katara did not Bloodbend without the full moon, which was clearly shown in the beginning of the episode. The episode spanned too little time for the moon to start waning, so when she used Bloodbending on the Southern Raider leader, it was with the power boost of the full moon. 201.17.81.218 (talk) 18:52, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Abilities

message: I have some better images (I think) and more recent for each character, I'm working on a few, but I think some of these should be replaced, such as the one's for zuko and aang and katara(especially hers which has the nick logo). I don't know how to add them, nor if i should, i want to upload them, so could someone tell me how, and decide if they prefer these pictures, thanks. Themattkylefiles (talk) 02:51, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Zuko has a recent image. I can see rational for Katara, but I don't see why anyone else needs a new image. Zuko was the only dramatic change from before, and Katara has the water mark. No one else has anything similar to those. Why do we need new images? Rau's Speak Page 03:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

text: he:Katara. Follow the link and do the same thing you would do here, only in hebrew. Of course, you might want to change the destination. I don't know if you translate names when you change it to Hebrew. Rau's Speak Page 19:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: I want to translate the page "katara" to Hebrew

message: I am aware that Katara use to have a reception section, but it was deleted probably because there was not enough material.  However, the recent review on "The Southern Raiders" from IGN more or less gave her character a relatively good review.  Also the review from some of the earlier episodes or the finale on the IGN website should give enough material as well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.88.239 (talk) 06:08, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Reception section

message: Why is Katara's age listed as 14-17? Each season of the series spanned a season, not a year, the first season is winter, the second is spring and the third is summer. As of the end of the series, only 9 months have passed, not 3 years. 189.60.129.184 (talk) 18:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's never said how old Katara is (not that I can remember seeing). She's slightly older than Aang, a little younger than Sokka and little bit more younger than Zuko. So we have a range of ages she could be (not the progression of age). 203.117.66.237 (talk) 15:08, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Why isn't The Painted Lady listed as one of Katara's aliases? Rashu0 (talk) 02:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably because it is used in just one episode and does not have an impact on the series, which are the ad hoc standards we came up with a few months back. NuclearWarfare (Talk) 02:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Also, hey, do you think you could help out on List of Avatar: The Last Airbender characters. I haven't worked on it in a little while, but I think with a little work, we could get it through WP:GAN (like the Simpsons Family) or through WP:FLC (like List of Naruto characters). NuclearWarfare (Talk) 02:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just realized that there is an actual spirit named The Painted Lady so it can't be listed as one of Katara's aliases. And I will help out on the list of characters. I haven't worked on it in a while but I'll start again. -- Rashu0 (talk) 22:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Just to clear this up real quick per WP:BRD - User:107.190.98.32 added "June Pippinpaddleopsicopolis" to the alias section of the infobox (diff) and it was reverted by  (diff). This is, in fact, not gibberish and is an alias used by Katara used in the show (e.g., noted here). FWIW, Aang's article has "Bonzu Pippinpaddleopsicopolis the 3rd" in his infobox. As long as we're keeping other sparingly-used nicknames like "Sapphire Fire" in the infobox, I think this is fine to leave as well. —DanCherek (talk) 02:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, , I didn't know that. I'm not actually familiar with the show  I just figured this was a test edit since it looked so strange and since I didn't see that name come up at all in the article. Those were the only reasons why I reverted it. Definitely feel free to add it back. palindrome§ǝɯoɹpuᴉןɐd 03:03, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
