Latest News and Opinions or Opinion ? Edit

I edited the main page to correct "Latest News And Opinion" to "Latest News And Opinions". Anybody disagrees ? --

Sorry, but I reverted. The existing wording is more consistent with the phrasing commonly used in news media. Newspapers and other professional media organisations invariably refer to articles written with an explicit point of view as the "Opinion" section, not "Opinions". See the site description (shown as the text you see on the tab in your browser) for The Huffington Post, for example, which is "Breaking News and Opinion on the Huffington Post".

Legend of Korra characters Edit

Okay! I am PISSED OFF!!!!! I just made three edits! One to the main page putting Zhao on there instead of korra and making a seperate section for the legend of korra characters, a table organizing the characters/cast of both series and ALL THREE GOT DELETED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnigailUser (talk • contribs).

Hello – I'm the administrator who reverted your edits. The reason I've done this is because adding other Korra characters is, with reference to search data, premature at this time. Currently, the vast majority of character searches are for Korra or for original series characters, and adding other characters adds additional links that are of little strategic benefit in terms of search engine optimisation. Of course, I'll recommend links to other Korra characters and de-emphasise links to original series characters closer to the release date for the new series.

There is always and excuse, but I guess...

Front Page is editable Edit

I'm really concerned about this. Why is the front page editable? It makes more room for vandals to vandalize the front page or erase the content. I know there are rollback users in the community and you can undo edits with rollback, but it's alarm raising for me. Mystiah (wall • contribs) 12:33, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Not just rollbacks. Any regular user can undo this (although less effect). No need to worry --

Besides, there haven't been any vandalism issues lately... – Natsu · (wall • A Answers • T3I Wiki) 12:45, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Anons can't edit it. That should be enough to stave off vandalism. Yes, registered users can vandalize too, but it's easier to block them and prevent further accounts creation, as well as block all IPs associated to that account. ― Thailog 12:46, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Does anyone want The Lgend of Korra up for a Season Pass in Hd on iTunes?

Suggestion Edit

I have a suggestion: once the new series will start you(admins) should stop all the fan things --Masterq (wall • contribs) 20:34, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

What fan things? The admins don't have the authority to stop anything. --I'm The Bos ^Wall 20:39, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Do not use past tense on original characters articles Edit

I'm kinda upset that you are using past tense for the original characters that have passed in The Legend of Korra, though it is grammatically correct, I do not feel that this is needed for a cartoon. Also I do feel a little sad when reading it in past tense XD yes the characters are gone in The Legend of Korra but they still live on in other versions

Actually, past tense is used for ALL character pages, as it is a "history" section. :) Free as a Bison (wall • contribs) 11:32, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Well, it is site policy to use to write in past tense for most (if not all) character articles. Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem 11:34, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

But on Katara's page, present tense was used :)

175.138.173.246 06:12, April 10, 2012 (UTC)Adel

Past tense is to be used in the history sections of all the characters, as it would be a contradiction on itself to use present tense in a history section. However, the first paragraphs are written in a tense depending on 1. the fact whether or not the show the character appeared in last is still airing and 2. whether or not that character is still alive.

Because of the aforementioned reasons, all characters of ATLA who have died during that show or are dead during TLoK have their pages written in past tense. Katara's page has the first paragraph in present tense as she is still alive in TLoK and the show is still aired. Would is be that she dies during that show, the tense on her page would be changed to past tense. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 22:58, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I know what you mean, but the characters that died in the show still live on in other continueties/stories like in the comics. Maybe I'm being a sentimental old fool, but still I wouldn't like to read the characters that I love, who are still very alive in other continuation/ non canon work/ promotional art used by the creators of the show, be refered as deceased :)

175.138.173.246 13:58, April 11, 2012 (UTC)Adel

We take the current series as being the "current time". With that, all the other characters are considered to have lived in the past, even though there are still comics coming out featuring them etc, sorry. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 21:03, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Understood :) 175.138.173.246 07:15, April 12, 2012 (UTC)Adel

Avatar Dark Secret Edit

Hi, I saw that someone published a link for an article he made on Avatar's Facebook page. It's dealing with comparing the story of Avatar to the holocaust. It's a literary analysis, because it mostly deals with symbols and metaphors. Maybe it should be reminded if Nickelodeon will response to it.

The link for the website: http://avatardarksecret.co.cc

I'm thinking of a absolutely Hitler-like nemesis for Korra when she defeats Amon. I'd also like for his history to be like this mini-series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itVaFp-xsQg

No replies about it? Support or against it?

Seperation between character from "Legend of Korra" and "The Last Airbender" Edit

I think there should be a seperation between the characters of the two TV shows. Maybe by tabs? Or, by grouping them by a designed title?

The characters are separated by color: the rim around the images of the new characters is slightly darker than those of ATLA. It's subtly because the two series are set in the same world and as such are a whole. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 11:26, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Info Box images TLOK characters Edit

Since the show has aired 4 episodes now, shouldn't actual images of the characters be used for their info box images like how Korra's was done?
