[edit] TIme to archive?

If someone else agrees with me I would like to archive this page once the Featured List Nominatoin ends. Cnriaczoy42 03:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I have archived everything above this on the talk page. The list to the disscusion where we decided on the standards still links there. Cnriaczoy42 21:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Looking Foward

Good job guys fighting while I was gone! XD Well, now that S2 has ended we look forward to season 3. There are several questions to answer for the in between these two seasons.

1) When do we put season 3 fire on the episode list?

2) When do we put season 3 fire on the episode template?

3) And the most important. Pooldude (Tv.com editor) has said he will gradually release episode names between now and season 3. Those are going to be put on the list a lot. Do we:

a)Ignore it and wait until we get information from Tvguide.com or another reliable source.

b)Put them on the list with unconfirmed in parenthesis or something.

c)Put them up as real episodes.

We're going to have to do a lot of editing out if it is a. -Dylan0513 21:17, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I belive this is our awnser, please tell me if I'm wrong.

1) We put season three on the list when we have at least one Official Epidoe name from Nick.

2) We put it on the template at the same time.

3) I belive we should do choice 1, because of WP:8W. Unless he can link us to another source that we know is offical, it isn't verifiable even if he has been 100% accurate. Cnriaczoy42 21:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree on all of them. But we usually only have a week of reverting when pooldude puts up early info. This time we'll have 6 months until when s3 airs in May. -Dylan0513 21:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I just thought, don't put up the table until an episode has aired, that is why we have the upcoming episodes.

The sourcing guidelines are still in effect. That it's more difficult doesn't mean we can ignore them. We can't use those sources without independent verification. Also, yeah, when we do start putting up S3 episodes, they should just go in the coming section until they air, although we should probly say the premire's discription that its the new season.--Fyre2387 ^{(talk • contribs)} 03:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

The following pictures need changed to something a bit more meaningful to the episode so that I can put a proper usage rational:

• The Northern Air Temple -- Maybe have a picture of it, of the gliders, or anything than just a blown up Aang head
• The Library -- What, we can't get a picture of the library in question?
• Pilot -- Preferably something that can show the animation difference.

Possible changes:

• The Waterbending Master -- Doesn't really show much
• Appa's Lost Days -- There are better things we could show. I'd nominate the image of Appa dressed up.

Remember, all pictures should be able to be distinguished at 100px and should reflect something important from the show that is best seen visually. I'm sure someone will have this done by midday for me tomorrow, so I'm going to go rest up for my actual life (which I don't think exists anymore). H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 07:02, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I changed all except Pilot and The Waterbending Master. Cnriaczoy42 13:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about the others, but I changed the Appa's Lost Days back. I shows Appas meeting the Guru and is important for future episodes. Maybe a different one, but the circus one isn't significant enough. -Dylan0513 21:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I also changet the Avatar Returns piccture and THe blue Spirit because they were too close up. I hope no one has any major protests over that. Cnriaczoy42 00:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delete TV Specials?

I really don't think we should have 2 TV specials just there. I think we either delete them or add the others. They aren't very important and seem to just take up space. -Dylan0513 23:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Like wich ones, the fury of Aang, and SOTFN? or every time two episodes were aired like the season finales. Cnriaczoy42 00:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Dylan makes a good point. One of them is basically just a commercial and one is a commentary that's on the DVD (I think). They really aren't episodes and have no meaning to the canon of the show. I'd say it's up to the FL voters really. H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 01:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it was aired once so people who hadn't seen the seires would know enough to understand the last three episode of season 1. I'll delete those no because they are not important. Cnriaczoy42 01:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CONGRAGULATIONS!!!

Thank you all who helped fix this article after I nomminated it. Even though we had differant views, I'm glad we could reach an aggreement for the betterment of the list. Cnriaczoy42 21:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, woot! And the list is number 47 in the December most viewed pages so far!!! I still have some problems with the spoilers, but I like how we're limiting them. -Dylan0513 21:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

And we get a little star on the top of the article. Hopefully Avatar: The Last Airbender will get one too. Cnriaczoy42 21:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks awesome, XD. And yeah, hopefully Avatar: The Last Airbender will have one soon. And be featured on the main page, XD. -Dylan0513 21:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

FL don't get front page previews do they? H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 00:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Na, they only do that for FA's. If the main article gets featured submitting it for Today's Featured Article will be the first thing I do, though. I've already read up on it. ;).--Fyre2387 ^{(talk • contribs)} 04:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Good. We've got more than 50 other Avatar pages. LET'S MAKE THEM ALL FA! w00t! H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 05:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Lol, I'm not sure if that'll happen. But some could be close already. -Dylan0513 12:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

How about you wait until Season 3 starts to make it on the front page? Cnriaczoy42 18:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DVD and iTunes releases

Why do you think that the DVD and iTunes releases of Avatar: The Last Airbender should be on this page? Shouldn't it be on Avatar: The Last Airbender media information? I'm not sure why you did it but please leave a reason. Thanks. Zany zacky ^{(talk • contribs)}

I believed that they belonged here because they concerned the episodes. If someone was looking at this page, that would also want to know when they where realeased and about the DVDS. Besides, I believe that the media information page should not exsist as all the informatoin can be moved to other articles. Cnriaczoy42 21:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

What's done is done, but I really thought we were better off having this stuff on the media info page. That article was made, unless I'm mistaken, because its contents were on other pages and cluttered them too much.--Fyre2387 ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Get Ready...

Pooldude has said he has the 4th episode name for season 3 and will announce it either Monday or Tuesday. As you know Wiki says it's not a reliable source whatever so it shouldn't be put on the list or have a page made for it. Pooldude has also said one of the episodes will be a Sokka episode so it might be that. We should be ready for countless reverts next week taking the episode out. -Dylan0513 03:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

What happened to 1 2 and 3? H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 04:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Lol, he just gets them randomly from his inside man in Avatar. I'm not sure if they make the episode names in order. Maybe what just first comes up. -Dylan0513 11:52, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
