I cleared the recent chatty stuff. This is for article discussion only.

[edit] Keep it short
The episode synopsis shouldn't be a line-by-line, scene-by-scene recount of the episode. Sure, detail is good because this is an article about the episode, after all, but keep it a summary, so there can still be something gained from watching the episode itself. --Crisu 15:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Aang's Staff
Where did that come from after the Mooselion incident? Toph didn't appear to have it then it just appeared from behind her back. Hammerspace? Eban 14:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hm.. Yeah, because of its length and the huge rock she was sitting on, it couldn't have just been strapped to her back without it sticking out somewhere. So I guess you're right. But I'm not sure if it's really notable; maybe a bullet in the Notes/Trivia section. --Crisu 15:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lu Ten spelling
If you watch "Bitter Work" on TurboNick and skip to the credits (with about 00:41 left), then you see Lu Ten spelled with a space between the 'u' and the 'T'. I just needed to justify changing his spelling in the article. PCEevee talk 15:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quotes
I think the rule of thumb for quotes is to keep the list short. Over-quoting a transcript of an episode could violate copyright. Plus, the section just gets far too lengthy with some quotes having little standalone meaning (where you'd have to watch the episode to understand it). --Crisu 05:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'll be going through episodes soon, probably thursday, and will be adding 5 quotes to all episodes. No more, no less. Each quote must also have some meaning to the show or help to define a character. Bitter Work has a LOT of them, and the quotes some that I dropped were hard to do so. H2P 06:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Positively and Negatively charged electrons?
Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged, and neutrons have no charge. So please correct "Iroh said that to generate lightning one must separate positive and negative energy (probably positively and negatively charged electrons)" or at least change what he/she placed and place instead "possibly the negatively charged electrons and positively charged ions". Electrons can't have different charges.Slartibartfast1992 04:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
...That is what Iroh said though. And that is how electricity is formed, when the positive and negative energy crash together. H2P (Yell at me for what I've done) 05:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah i'm just talking about someone putting something about positively and negatively charged electrons on the article, I mean instead it could be described as negative and positive ions or sth like that. I'm not arguing with the tv show, i'm arguing with someone who thinks that positively charged electrons exist. Besides, electricity forms when electrons (negatively charged, AS ALWAYS) from a group of negatively charged ions move through a solid, liquid, gas, or vacuum to get to a group of positively charged ions (with less electrons than the atoms should have) to stabilize the positive ions, or anions, into normal, neutral charge atoms. NOT when energies crash together and go a distance, magically, by themselves. Of course this "crashing together and traveling alone magically" happens in the TV show since it's fiction (and it is pretty cool), but anyone who thinks this happens in real life seriously needs to check out the "electricity" or "ions" article. Electricity is formed TO stabilize positive and negative ions, NOT WHEN positivity and negativity collide. Just clarifying. The whole concept of "crashing" energy is, though imprecise, slighly correct in a way. However, it should be clarified.Slartibartfast1992 04:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
But you see, you've just said it yourself: "this 'crashing together and traveling alone magically' happens in the TV show since it's fiction...", in your exact words. Because this is fiction. And, also in your words: "anyone who thinks this happens in real life..." This show, it isn't real life. It's fiction. It's a story where bison can have six legs and fly, where somone can throw a boomerang and actually get it to come back to you(That's IMPOSSIBLE man!), where people can breath fire, where giant owls who have hidden underground libraries try to kill people who lie, and where there is both negative AND positive energy. Also, at the end, notice, too, how it isn't ELECTRONS. It was called energy. Keyblade Mage 02:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Keyblade Mage
- Yeah just forget about this. I guess when I was new to Wikipedia I liked to be a pain you know where. That bit's fine as it is. --Slarti (1992) 18:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Aang's Distraction Method
When Aang distracts the mooselion, I believe his dance resembles that of Timon from The Lion King, when he has to distract the pack of hyenas. Can somebody add that, because I don't know exactly how to. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.185.39.152 (talk) 01:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] "Meanwhile..."
Could we possibly begin more paragraphs with that word? More variation in the writing! ComputerSherpa 08:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
