Aang Edit
Let's administer some CPR to the SC, shall we (with some righteous prodding from ATFF)? Aang seems to be the only TA member not to be part of the A-class articles, which, given the high-quality standard of the article seems rather silly to me. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 23:21, March 11, 2013 (UTC)
Support — Made some aesthetic touch-ups and it seems fine to me. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word?

- Support — The article is indeed well-written and includes all necessary and relevant information. The Ultimate Waterbender 23:09, April 12, 2013 (UTC)

Duels (170 ASC) Edit
Heh, been a while since there's been an SC nomination, hasn't it? I've been meaning to nominate this article for a while now; it's informative - accurately describing all the battles without getting too wordy -, encompasses all relevant and necessary information and well written. The Ultimate Waterbender 01:20, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — But - please give consideration to removing this section: "Duel underground Republic City". That section is not a duel, and the climaxing "conflict" that is being built-up to never happened. So all in all I don't feel it fits with the rest of the article's events. Vulmen (talk • EoK) 04:55, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — I changed some wording and made otherwise rather cosmetic changes - a very well-written article, to say the least. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 23:42, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Agreed. Per everyone. As Vulmen suggested, I also found that section unnecessary so I removed it. Dcasawang1 • wall 23:32, December 12, 2012 (UTC)

Amon Edit
Well written and very complete article; its quality seems to be deserving of this status. Dcasawang1 • wall 01:08, August 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — The article has gotten many attention and has reached a good standard worthy of the A-class status indeed. The images are relevant without crowding the page and all the necessary information of the character is there, so there isn't even any room anymore to expand. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 09:42, August 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — I made a couple changes.
- His mother was listed as former ally? That's just weird. I don't believe she should be listed at all.
- Yakone was listed as his enemy? No, former ally I can justify- shaking his bonds of his father and throwing him off. But leaving it at that and never seeing him again (for all we know). Former ally; I could justify with that, but I can't see that as enemy.
- Tarrlok was listed as an enemy? Former ally I can see. Outright enemy? No. I'd say former enemy as well. The two brothers have a very mixed emotional love/hate relationship, and at the end, we can see that he truly does love his brother. Both should be (formerly).
- As for the rest of the article...exceptionally written! Vulmen (talk • EoK) 03:35, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Nothing else to say here. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 03:50, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Finally finished reviewing over the entire article and after some minor fixes, it is definitely deserving of an A-class promotion. The Ultimate Waterbender 19:57, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Seismic sense Edit
Although a relatively short article, the diction and syntax is excellent and the article is precise, informative and to the point. I believe it qualifies to be an A-class article. The Ultimate Waterbender 13:34, May 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Oh, had forgotten this nomination; I agree per Ultimate, though it may need updates with LoK. Dcasawang1 • wall 17:35, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Per DC in that I also forgot. :p I put a couple of small touch-ups on it, it should be ready to go. Katara and Bolin Fanboy Send me a messenger hawk 17:40, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — I rewrote parts of the article to be more to relevant and to add some extra stuff. All in all, this is a good article deserving of the status. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 15:35, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — I made just a tiny little change. The article looks high quality to me, and even has Lin Beifong's latest use of it inserted. Vulmen (talk • EoK) 04:13, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Avatar Temple Edit
This article already is B-class, but after some touch ups, it seems to me that it's deserving of A-class. The given information is well written and to the point. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 19:21, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Agreed. All the information is written at a high standard. Dcasawang1 • wall 04:49, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — I like the inclusion of Escape from the Spirit World, and the names of the Water/Earth temples.
However one problem; shouldn't the names of the Water/Earth temples be sourced? I know those were said, but I'm not sure where they were said...was it the Art book?Dc pointed out it came from Escape From the Spirit World; I updated it. Vulmen (talk • EoK) 03:13, April 30, 2012 (UTC) - Support — I trimmed out some un-needed fluff and scanned over it in full, it seems good to me. KataraFanboy Send me a messenger hawk
04:04, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Indeed, it is a very well-written article. The Ultimate Waterbender 03:09, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Sozin's Comet Edit
This article is exceptionally written with few things that had to be fixed by the Fire Sages user group and is not terribly long, but has good, relevant information. The Ultimate Waterbender 15:57, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Definitely. I removed/shortened some irrelevant trivia's, but it was rewritten a good while ago, and when the Fire Sages had to go over it, there was indeed hardly anything left to do. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 16:37, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — I passed over the article and added some links, did some other fixes, and it all seems to be in good shape. KataraFanboy Send me a messenger hawk 17:15, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — It had indeed a lot of irrelevant trivia but it looks good now. Dcasawang1 • wall 19:42, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Why do we keep indenting these votes. :p Anyway; yeah the article was in top-notch shape. I did a pass, but, well, wasn't really anything to change. Up it goes Vulmen (talk • EoK) 03:04, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Peasant Uprising in Ba Sing Se Edit
The article seems to cover all the information about the uprising written in a good standard. Dcasawang1 • wall 03:46, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Indeed, it's pretty well-written. The Ultimate Waterbender 14:58, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — After fixing it up and taking a second read-through with Ultimate's fix, it's ready to go up. KataraFanboy Send me a messenger hawk 15:17, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Made some touch ups here and there, mainly just shortening some irrelevant things, but not too much as the article was already at high standard to begin with. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 15:28, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Looks good to go. Vulmen (talk • EoK) 02:33, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Fire Lord Edit
With some tweaks by the Fire Sages members, I feel this article is of excellent quality. Precise, not lengthy but informative and with exceptional diction. The Ultimate Waterbender 01:57, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — This article was indeed a good one. Vulmen (talk • EoK) 17:35, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — Dcasawang1 • wall 19:55, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

Northern Air Temple Edit
Good article, despite the little information we know about the temple; detailed description and well-written history section. Dcasawang1 • wall 14:20, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Support — I agree, it seems to be fine quality-wise. The Ultimate Waterbender 15:56, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Muur. I missed this being here. :S I'm currently at Description, so far so good. I'll post back here when I finish it a little later. (not today) Vulmen (talk • EoK) 06:55, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
