[edit] Luvingazula

I think his been blocked enof so how about we unblock him and give him a second chance--KataraTophAzula 01:13, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

KTA, I don't think you know the half of what this user has done. He's had multiple sockpuppet accounts, and has even been racist toward a few users. Just because he has the word Azula in his name, it doesn;'t mean he should be unblocked. Plus, his block on another account should be almost over anyway. Vaznock - Talk 01:18, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw and heard about what Luvingazula did. He's already had several chances, as I can see. --Avatar ^Talk 01:24, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

I had seval chances and I changed I was crazy but now all chill and mello--KataraTophAzula 01:28, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Uh...okay? But he has a sockpuppet account that is almost done with it's block anyway. Vaznock - Talk 01:34, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Quite simply, he can start editing again when his block expires. I don't believe there's any precedent for the block to be shortened or lengthened or modified in any way. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 02:09, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] BSSTs

Hey 888. Sorry I haven't whipped up an article for the BSSTs. With school and what not. Being, in case you did not know, Flash is gonna be inactive for a while. Vaznock - Talk 01:36, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, we've all gotten a little slack over the past month. I mean, you've all returned to school now, and I was busy at school. I should be around a little more these few weeks, because today is the first day of my school holidays for spring. Do you have anything right now? If not, I'll just whip something up. I know about Flash, I've taken a look around, thanks anyway. :) Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 01:45, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

No. Sorry. I'd try to whip up something small right now, but...nothing's really happened that I can think of. :P Vaznock - Talk 01:53, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I was thinking of writing an article about what didn't happen. :P Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 01:57, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A question

888, a IP messed up your user page--Click here--I gave the IP a warning, and I was wondering if he was a vandal and if he should be blocked. Thanks!--Avatar ^Talk 02:38, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

The IP has only done it once, so I think it would be harsh to deal a block straight away. Thanks for the notice and fixing my user page. :) Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 04:29, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

No problem,I just thought he was a vandal or something.--Avatar ^Talk 13:30, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

However, it is discussions where we'll need to pick up the pace. We need to do something about quite a few Improvements and Issues forums. See the discussion list to the right for a summary of the discussions that need immediate attention. The Ba Sing Se Times itself is looking for a new feature. All suggestions will be considered; please suggest on Avatar Wiki talk:The Ba Sing Se Times. Full-length trailer to be released by The 888th Avatar It's been a period of time since we have heard from the producers of The Last Airbender, but in the past week reports have circulated that they are working on a full-length trailer to be released for Christmas. Frank Marshall said on Twitter: For those of you wondering about LAST AIRBENDER, all is well in post and we r working on a trailer for Xmas… This is a significant gap between the teaser and the full-length, and there has been some criticism that the gap will make it likely for some to "forget" about the film.

[edit] Just Making Sure

So I am correct in posting contributions in the past tense, right?--JFH2009 11:27, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, if it's being added to event articles and the history/synopsis sections of articles. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 11:49, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

What about "Goofs" because that's about all I edit besides Trivia, which I don't use past tense for.--JFH2009 18:48, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Could you show me an example? Thanks. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 05:34, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Tense Thing

All the overviews seem to be in present, but why isn't that right? They all read for example on The Headband, "Aang and friends steal Fire Nation clothes" not "Aang and friends stole Fire Nation clothes". This is what we want it to be? I can change the synopses back if that's the case. --Energybender 22:09, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Or is it just the Goofs section, as that was all he was changing? I'm a little less tenacious about that, as that is not in the description of the episode, and actually sounds a whole lot better. Omnibender was reverted his edits to the Goofs section, but I think those (but not the synopses) sound good in preterite tense. --Energybender 22:23, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

I just remember reading that present tense only applies to location, creature, and character pages. So I assume that past tense applies to the entire episode page, but I've only been editing goofs. --JFH2009 01:14, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

The overviews should be written in past tense, because they are describing an event that has occurred. Sections of articles describing places or people or the functionalities of machines etc. should be written in present tense because they are describing them as they appear now. Could I see an example of an edit to goofs? That would help me. :) Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 05:36, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Here's one I found in "The Blind Bandit"...

Present Tense

During dinner with the Bei Fong Family, Aang uses airbending to cool Toph's soup for her. In the next frame though she has a plate of veggies, then soup again.

--JFH2009 13:18, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

If I may share my opinion, I think Goofs (and perhaps Trivia) should be in present tense. Unlike synopses, they are no longer accounts of events, because we have singled them out as individual acts on their own. It is like taking a video that has already been played through and rewinding it back to the point where the goof occurs, then hitting play and saying, "there, that's happening now". Synopses and event accounts should be in past tense though, since they are accounts of what has already transpired. --Secretss 14:35, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

I would be completely fine with that idea or any other as long as we can come to a consensus on it and post it in the manual for future reference. --JFH2009 17:37, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, great. Thanks for letting this be known. --Energybender 21:10, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

I applied rollback with these. Sorry, I had not read these discussion before that. I changed past tense written by JFH2009 to present tense because I thought this was the decision in these days, because I saw that these edits were being changed to present tense. Dcasawang1 - Talk 02:42, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Alright Present tense is fine by me. I'll change my old edits. --JFH2009 02:53, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

The first section is the original newsletter, and the other is a fanon section presented by some of our fanon users. Some fine details about this feature are subject to change.

Twitter update reveals possible full trailer release dates; speculation begins on attached movie by SuperFlash101 Recently, Frank Marshall, producer of the upcoming The Last Airbender film adaption, has posted a comment on Twitter. The comment reveals that they are expecting to theatrically release the full movie trailer in December, around Christmas time. His exact words were: "For those of you wondering about LAST AIRBENDER, all is well in post and we r working on a trailer for Xmas." It is unsure what December flick the long-awaited full trailer will be attached to. One website suggests the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film, starring Robert Downy, Jr. (Iron Man, Tropic Thunder) Another mentions Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones - one fan even wrote that it would be "deliciously ironic" if it were to be attached to Avatar, for which Airbender was forced to be renamed by. Fans stay on the edge of their seat for the trailer, and, most importantly, the film itself, to be released. New fanon by The avatar Hey guys, a section of our new fanon are the “newest fanon”. Our goal here is to let the fanon community hear about some new fanon, and their authors. This issue’s “newest fanon” is Avatar: Guardian. The fanon is written by The Bos, a new user at AW. So, in an effort to get some details of his new fanon, I interviewed him on IRC to give you guys some inside details. Guardian is all about Team Avatar against factions of the 3 nations who want to continue the war. The Air Nomads are back due to Aang’s energybending, Toph is helping rebuild Omashu, Sokka went back to Piandao to get a new sword, and Zuko married Mai. Of course, several new characters are coming including Mitros, Jiang Rha, and Cheng. Bos was inspired to write fanon when he and his friends started talking and knew the war would not end peacefully. The name came from the necessity to "Guard" the world peace they fought to get and the plot was from some history, video games and other stories that introduced family of main characters. Several of those were the Knights Templar, which will be more helpful in the future, and he based the entirety of Mitros off of Kratos from God of War. Bos has enjoyed the community at AW, and reads some other fanon including Kyoshi Revolts, Wanted, and the The Phoenix Chronicles to name a few. Bos plans on writing a full 61 chapters for his series; and has some ideas for a future series as well. He also hopes to release the chapters on a weekly basis, mostly on Fridays. Also, Bos has given us a special sneak preview of the next chapter: "Okay, what are we going to do about all the crazy people trying to destroy the world?" Aang and Katara sit up; Zuko and Sokka stop their petty argument and begin brainstorming. Aang tosses the first idea out, "Maybe we should go in the Avatar cycle: defeat the Water benders first, then the Dai Li, and then finish by finding the Fire benders." Katara looks at him, understanding what he is saying, but wondering why he chose the order "Why that order, Aang?" So good luck with the fanon The Bos, I can already tell it’s going to be great! Training and romance drive latest 'Kyoshi' chapter by SuperFlash101 As most Fanon users know, the latest chapter of Kyoshi Revolts came out a couple of weeks ago. The chapter, tentatively entitled "Rebel Lessons, Part 2," continue where the previous chapter left off - Chen is training with Ray, while Giu tags along for the soul purpose of getting to touch Ray's but. But now we get to see Mina and Kaila getting a training lesson of there own, which made this chapter even better. We're so early into book two, but it's easy to say this is turning out to be as good as - or even better than - the first. "Rebel Lessons" was the perfect example of a good Kyoshi Revolts chapter: mixing comedy with action and drama, it reminded me of an actual Avatar episode. It was cool to see Kaila going all Naruto with her new kunai knives, which I'd guess will appear more in the series. Chen's Waterbending prowess is clearly mediocre, but like his predecessor, I'm sure he'll be better by the middle part of the book. Plus, he even bloodbended, which is always an awesome thing to see being included in any Avatar fanfic. Not to mention, he almost asked Kaila out - their relationship is shaping up to be one of the best parts of the whole story, so I can't wait to see what happens next. So if you haven't read "Rebel Lessons" or any chapter of Kyoshi Revolts, I recommend you do so pronto. The story is one of best Avatar fics out there and always delivers, especially with this new chap. Overall: A+

[edit] Fanon:Avatar Princesses

I need you to bring back the story Fanon:Avatar Princesses Azula as Anastasia I'm going to try to work on the grammer the comas periods and paragraghs and all that so please bring it back--KataraTophAzula 17:31, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

KTA, don't you already have those at your sandbox? If you mean to make it a fanon page, again, then you would need to work on in it in your sandbox then ask a fanonadmin if meets Standards and then you can make the page again by copying and pasting the stuff from your sandbox.--Avatar ^Talk 02:24, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Lion Turtle

In Flora and Fauna in the World of Avatar the Lion Turtle is listed under Spirit World. Shouldn't it be under "Other" since it constantly travels all over the world. Is there a part where it goes to the spirit world that I just missed? --JFH2009 14:28, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with you. The listings there are not supposed to be by affiliation, but by where the animal is found. Thanks for pointing that out. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 06:17, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

OK, just wanted to make sure before I changed anything. --JFH2009 12:09, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

No worries, that's fine. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 01:31, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] BSST

Hey, 888. Not to sound pushy or anything, but its been over a month since the last BSST. Just wondering if you have any plans of releasing the new issue, or....? Thanks. The Flash ^{talk} 02:35, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
