Not an Eskimo[edit]

Can people not add that the show does not take placeon our Earth and she lives in the South Pole where there are no real people living.76.236.78.76 (talk) 23:13, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Katara's necklace[edit]

Did anyone else notice that Katara had a different necklace in the comic con trailor.

yah she did but its only part of her whole fire nation disguise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.193.186 (talk) 15:13, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Plot overview[edit]

Shouldn't the Waterbending progress section be renamed and redone to Plot overview? Her Waterbending progress could then be mentioned in an abilities section? Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 17:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Yes it should. Ill get on that. Rau's talk 18:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to help too. Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 18:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How does it look so far? I am writing Book 3 now, but I want to know if I should do it a bit differently. Rau's talk 19:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, nice job. I was unsure how to tackle it seeing as she has only been major parts of insignificant events so far. Rau's talk 19:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I am just now seeing your question. Thanks! You did good on the Book 1 and 2 sections. Anyway, I was planning to tackle this article after Azula anyway. What about trying to get this one to Good Article status? Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 20:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't FC the goal for every article anyway? Rau's talk 22:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but I meant giving extra effort to the article. Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 17:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Kay, but you owe me lunch afterwards. Rau's talk 19:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Character reception[edit]

I wasn't sure how much of the character reception is actual sourced stuff and how much is vandalism, but a lot of it seems like it should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sairith (talk • contribs) 21:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There isnt anything in there, if you are talking about that brief inclusion of vandalism material, it has already been removed. Rau's talk 21:46, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that what I was referring to. Sairith (talk) 00:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BEWARE THE "VANDALIST" AS YOU CALL IT IS HERE... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.152.75.82 (talk) 23:01, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Katara action figure[edit]

Alot of Avatar fans have asked in Toy Stories about why Katara does not have a action figure. The company that produces the Avatar figures have replied with statistics claiming that female action figures do not sail as well as the female action figures. Should we have this on the wikipedia page? It answers a long-time Avatar fan's question —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.122.105.214 (talk) 06:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It used to be there, but the source was no longer good so it was removed. Rau's Speak Page 19:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's notable enough. There aren't any female action figures in the Storm Hawks line either, despite there being a lead female protagonist and the main villain being female. Tyciol (talk) 17:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tag on article[edit]

This is in response to a query posted by User:Tintor2.

I'm afraid that it is not the tense and is keeping that tag on the article. It is the fact that events from the show are described from a real-world perspective. Take the first sentence of the Plot Overview section: "Katara grew up as the mature, motherly figure of her family and tribe." A good way to convert this specific sentence is to ass "In the show," to the beginning. Do you see what I am getting at? (However, do not overuse the "In the show" phrase. It gets old really fast.) — Parent5446 (t n c k e l) 23:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.Tintor2 (talk) 00:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Abilities[edit]

The newly added abilities section was removed due to it being OR and partly inaccurate. Bending, all bending, is a form of Martial Arts. Saying that she is fighting is inaccurate. It is unsourced. If I felt like stretching it I could say some of it was also POV. Rau's Speak Page 01:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, these sections are always going to find a way back into the articles; ever since we removed them, people automatically put it back in, since they have been there so long. I guess we are just going to have to removed them constantly until we change the norm. — Parent5446 (t n e l) 02:45, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I saw what the author of this section wrote and it was not that far off. All bending is martial arts but not all martial arts is bending. Katara's a great bender but I've never seen her battle without bending. It sounds like a lot of people want to add an abilities section but for some reason they can't. Instead of deleting the whole section; how about writing up an abilities section, like most of the other major characters on the show have on their articles? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.2.60.95 (talk) 21:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, not all martial arts are bending, but to say she can't fight with out bending is OR. If she made the movements of bending even if she wasn't bending, she would display fighting capabilities. What was written was not far off, but it wasn't up to standard either. Rau's Speak Page 00:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Look, you are all arguing the wrong point. Whether it is OR or not, unless the information is a crucial point that directly affects the plot of the story, it should not be included. This pretty much applies to almost everything that was in the abilities section. Even if you could come up with policy-compliant information for the abilities section, the information probably could be integrated into the plot summary section anyway. In other words, there is really no way to generate an abilities section that improves the article. — Parent5446 (t n e l) 01:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Abilities should be added as a section to the info box Template:Infobox Avatar: The Last Airbender character rather than a section in the article. Its obviously notable to the article as it is about what the character can do, for example on Katara's entry it would list Waterbending and any other notable abilities, such as bloodbending if you guys so desired. A brief entry would suffice to sum up abilities. Sadly I know not how to add sections to templates otherwise I would have already done so, help would be much appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurowoofwoof111 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are absolutely right. In fact, I think at one point we had this place in the infobox, but it disappeared at some point. I think it would be a good idea to reinstate it. Are there any objections to this? — Parent5446 (t n e l) 02:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm for a total revamp of the template. Rau's Speak Page 03:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, you're right. Maybe we should take this to the template talk page? — Parent5446 (t n e l) 03:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All right, I brought it up there as well, go here, [1] to talk about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurowoofwoof111 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that someone has added Katara's abilities into a section of the article, I think we should allow this information to stay UNTIL an abilities section is added in the info box. And even at that point it would still be reasonable to keep the section in the article as it does go into more detail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurowoofwoof111 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to point out that Katara did not Bloodbend without the full moon, which was clearly shown in the beginning of the episode. The episode spanned too little time for the moon to start waning, so when she used Bloodbending on the Southern Raider leader, it was with the power boost of the full moon. 201.17.81.218 (talk) 18:52, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

I have some better images (I think) and more recent for each character, I'm working on a few, but I think some of these should be replaced, such as the one's for zuko and aang and katara(especially hers which has the nick logo). I don't know how to add them, nor if i should, i want to upload them, so could someone tell me how, and decide if they prefer these pictures, thanks. Themattkylefiles (talk) 02:51, 18 June 2008 (UTC) Matt Kyle[reply]

Zuko has a recent image. I can see rational for Katara, but I don't see why anyone else needs a new image. Zuko was the only dramatic change from before, and Katara has the water mark. No one else has anything similar to those. Why do we need new images? Rau's Speak Page 03:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want to translate the page "katara" to Hebrew[edit]

I want to make a new page named קטרה (KATARA) in Hebrew —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.139.225.242 (talk) 17:27, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is nobody here that speaks Hebrew, i think. If you know hebrew, you can just go ahead and translate it youself. — Parent5446 ☯ (message email) 20:51, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can translate but i don't know how. I mean I know English and Hebrew but don't know how to start a new page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justig (talk • contribs) 19:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
he:Katara. Follow the link and do the same thing you would do here, only in hebrew. Of course, you might want to change the destination. I don't know if you translate names when you change it to Hebrew. Rau's Speak Page 19:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Katara in Hebrew is he:קטרה. Do that. --haha169 (talk) 01:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, look. It's already been created! --haha169 (talk) 01:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship with Aang[edit]

Considering that Katara's relationship with Aang is now canon - not to mention important to characterization as well as the plot itself - there is absolutely no reason why it should be considered a "forbidden topic." Furthermore, this blanketing and use of hidden comments fall under Wikipedia's vandalism policy, so the next time the page is updated, I suggest the people who have been trolling all of the Avatar pages, deleting references to the show's various relationships, either stop or first discuss it. --Cheeseswan (talk) 01:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheese, it has become canon. However, the kiss lasted about 10 seconds and has barely anything to do with the plot-line. The important parts are outlined at Sozin's Comet. This cruft is for Wikia, not Wikipedia. --haha169 (talk) 05:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Cheese: It has to do with the plot-line because it ENDS the plot-line. All that really needs to be said is "In the final scene of the series, she and Aang solidify their relationship with a kiss." That's it. No fan BS or anything; it just tells what happened. If anything, INTENTIONALLY BLOCKING that info is cruft. D4S (talk) 03:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss the inclusion of her relationship with Aang here. Also discuss the use of notes. On the issue, you can say it isn't important to the overall plot. But this is Katara's character page. Her relationship with Aang is crucial to her character. It needs to be included somewhere. -Dylan0513 (talk) 13:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While her kiss may have only lasted say, 10 seconds, it still serves as a device to show the start of her relationship with Aang. That piece of information is relevant to her own page. Kuro ♪ 17:09, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The kiss information is not the most stable version of the page. Prior to Sozin's comet, the page did not mention their relationship. That is why I can remove it. If you check the history for this article, you will see that I was not the person who originally added the so called "biased tag" warning people against adding material about the kiss. I only duplicated it at the top so no one could say "I didn't see it." The information is 'in-universe' material that is not important in understanding the overall plot of the show, which is the gangs quest to overthrow the fire lord. Besides, the "uncertainty of their relationship" bit is speculation at best.
If you check the archives for the Aang and main avatar pages, you will see that it was decided that any relationship material would be removed. Even you have had doubts about the inclusion of relationship material in the past. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 20:32, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Duh, that's because that part wasn't true. Also, before the kiss, their relationship was still uncertain of developing. Now, development is certain, as we have already seen. For the Avatar main page, of course this info doesn't go there, the plot description is a paragraph at most. As for the Aang page, that article was under a FA push a little while ago so I don't want to mess with it. But it should certainly be included there too. You can't deny that Katara's relationship with Aang isn't a huge part of her character now, and this is Katara's character page. This all translates to having it in the article. -Dylan0513 (talk) 21:06, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the part about relationships that was discussed was specifically in relation to the relationship sections, not relationship information in general. I mean, if we were to say no relationship info at all, then we are darn near the point of having to gut the articles as much of the info on a character revolves how they interact with other character, which is technically relationship information.
I would say, in reference to Aang and Katara, a simple statement of what happened (that they did kiss) should be allowable. It's not concluding anything, just that they kissed, which they did. Derekloffin (talk) 23:02, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ahem, I'm assume a consensus has been reached then Ghostexorcist, since you're not responding? -Dylan0513 (talk) 18:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. It's unnecessary in-universe material. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 20:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, I'll concede to the mention of the kiss, but the page should not go into detail concerning their relationship. As can be seen from the edit history, people will take this as a cue to add in their own analysis about how they think Aang fell in love with her because of her "great beauty and innocence", etc. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 20:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First, stop mocking their relationship. This is the problem I have with you. Second, I assume you mean, "shouldn't go into detail"? -Dylan0513 (talk) 23:34, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mocking? Yes, I meant "Should not". I have edited my previous comment accordingly. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 00:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I still think it should be left out. It was a minor part of the series. Yes, it was prevelant, but not dominating. Not centric. Not crucial. Trivial. Trivia is discouraged. And "a huge part of her character now" refers to the last thirty seconds of the series. Which is probably less than one-percent of the series as a whole. *SIGN* 02:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Trivial? Since when are the first kisses for a girl trivial? And In my opinion the kiss at the end should be mentioned including a statement that will discourage people from changing it (not a note) like "it remained unclear at the end what the status of their relationship was." Also, you have to mention the DOBS kiss, it was her first. Yes, only facts should be presented, but this huge part of her character should not be left out. -Dylan0513 (talk) 10:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was basing my concession to the kiss on the fact that it capped the end of a well-received tv movie, not the fact that it was her first kiss. If that is the bases for your vote, I withdraw my support. That is both an assumption and in-universe material. You keep on speaking about Katara like she is a real person ("stop mocking their relationship." "Since when are the first kisses for a girl trivial?"). She is a fictional character. I can see adding info about their relationship if the show was centered around it, but it's not. All avatar character pages should stick to their involvement in the main plot: Aang's quest to learn the elements and ultimately defeat the Fire Lord. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 17:02, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(unindent) We have a whole section on plot overview. This is the plot of her character, no? This is where in-universe material goes unless I'm misunderstanding something. -Dylan0513 (talk) 20:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I am calling the kiss trivial. If this were a relationship based show, I'd have a different opinion. You also seem to be emotionally invested in the series, which makes you a biased editor. And on character pages the plot section deals with that specific characters involvement with the main plot of the series. Not the plot of her character. *SIGN* 23:26, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Am I based in my personal views? Yes. But has that effected my editing? No, as Ghostexorcist has actually shown above. I do want to see the policy on character pages being based on the plot of the show, not the character. I believe there is none. -Dylan0513 (talk) 02:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There isn't, thats just my personal opinion based on the fact that she doesn't have her own show, which means she doesn't have her own plot. And according to MOSTV there shouldn't even be a plot section, but rather a "Role in Avatar: The Last Airbender" which is that of a waterbender and potential love interest for Aang. If that were the case here, I would support inclusion of relationship information that can be sourced. (i.e. NO ZUKO) *SIGN* 03:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really see where the linked policy says that. I do pretty much agree with a Role section though. -Dylan0513 (talk) 14:03, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dylan, I agree with Rauj. You do have an obvious bias towards the show. Actually, in regards to Rauj's comments concerning Katara's part in the plot, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) states "Problems associated with an in-universe perspective include...A fictional character article or section written like a biography." So this page is a not about her, but her part in the overall plot of the show. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 16:49, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
See, now you're contradicting him. What does the policy say and quote where it says it. Also, my bias has nothing to do with this. We're discussing policy. -Dylan0513 (talk) 17:33, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My link was wrong, This is it. A DL right to it. And Ghostexorsist quoted WP:WAF... Also, how is he contradicting me? That supports what I said initially. And in this case, guidelines are just as good as policies. *SIGN* 18:27, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that guideline seems to work. Wanna work on changing the plot overview section to meet that guildline? And to relate it back to the original topic, it should include Katara's role as a love interest to Aang. -Dylan0513 (talk) 03:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am replying here instead of continuing the discussion on Nuke's page. I stand by my previous statements from above. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 12:51, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And so do I. In that discussion above, we had a consensus to include the information on the page. -Dylan0513 (talk) 14:50, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I fail to see where we had a consensus. The discussion just stopped and the kiss wasn't mentioned again until recently.--Ghostexorcist (talk) 08:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not so sure about that, but consensus can change, and I believe it has. People on other talk pages (see here} have supported adding this to here. MoS WaF says to write about character pages as they relate to the overall plot of a show. There are multiple plotlines in Avatar, and all that encompass multiple seasons should probably be mentioned. This romantic subplot encompasses multiple seasons and is fairly important to the plot. It may not be critical, but it definitely is important. As a subplot of lesser significance, it thereby deserves some mention, but not a lot. A sentence or so with a note to not add more does not form a slippery slope and should be enough for these articles. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 15:12, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. -Dylan0513 (talk) 15:14, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First and foremost, I think Dylan has shown him or herself to be emotionally invested in the tv show and is therefore a biased editor that should not be taking part in the this discussion. Having said that, the supposed romantic spark between Aang and Katara would not even account for .05% of the show. The kiss happened in the last few seconds of a three year long show. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 08:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It really doesn't matter if you're the most unemotional, uninvested editor in existence, or a drooling fanboy. If you're right your right, if you're wrong, you're wrong. So let's not go there.
As to the topic, I'm with Nuclear's thoughts on the matter. It's important enough to deserve some minimal mention, which the disputed edit appears to be limited to. Looking at the policy and guideline previously linked, I see nothing that is against it being put there. Derekloffin (talk) 11:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Whether I'm emotionally invested matters not Ghostexorcist. You could be emotionally invested too. For Aang's character, his relationship with Katara is a HUGE part of the plot. Even in the overall plot it is more than the .05% you said. We are talking about adding 1 sentence. 1 sentences that is sourced and based on plot within the show. The policy Nuclear linked too backs this up. Let's try to have a consensus soon so we can put this behind the character pages. A push for Aang to be a FA may be made again soon, this needs to be resolved before that happens. -Dylan0513 (talk) 05:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dylan, I try not to make it a habit to refer to fictional cartoon characters as real people. I have total objectivity on this issue. Even if we eventually agree on adding the kiss, Aang would not even come close to passing for FA. It does not have enough third party sources and the article itself is not comprehensive enough. I am not the first editor to mention these issues.
Nuke, I have no problem mentioning the fact that Aang had problems with ascending to the Avatar state because he was thinking about Katara, however, saying this was because he loved her is unsubstantiated without a supporting source (that is not some random fan site or a blog). As I've stated in the past, the manual for writing about fiction says we're not supposed to write character pages like biographies. The objective of the show was the defeat of Ozai, having done that, the kiss does not figure into the plot. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 23:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ghost, I still believe were multiple "objectives" of the plot. But in the interest of good harmony, I've thrown together some stuff about how Aang was distracted by Katara in season 2 finale and tossed it in. I did not revert the ending kiss. Tell me what you think, please. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 23:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Objective of the show? That was the main character's goal. The show had many objectives, action, drama, comedy, romance, so if you're going in that direction, the kiss should easily be included. Anyway, who says anything about the entire plot synopsis having to do with the character's main goal, even though a lot of the plot isn't about that? -Dylan0513 (talk) 23:45, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm returning to school on Monday, so I won't have the time to continue this discussion. I only ask that you wait a certain amount of time just in case other editors wander into the discussion and want to weigh in on the matter. Nuke, thank you for your patients. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 23:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You're really the only one defending not having the statement in anymore. If you're gone there's no reason not to add it in. -Dylan0513 (talk) 23:28, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'd say that if we don't have any more objections to adding the following: the story ends with Katara kissing Aang,[1] by Wednesday night, then it be added to the Aang and Katara articles. If you are going to object, please read the dicussion above and provide a valid reason. -Dylan0513 (talk) 19:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)"[reply]

Nobody has objected, but I haven't received any support yet in putting it up right now. -Dylan0513 (talk) 20:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
While i think that it should be mentioned, I don't think that is the right wording. Letme think a bit, but i am sure a better wording then that exsits. The Placebo Effect (talk) 22:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Last call for objections. I'm about to add it, it seems a consensus has been reached. -Dylan0513 (talk) 23:28, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've added it. We can discuss a re-wording if anyone wants. -Dylan0513 (talk) 01:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No offense, but as a plot analyst in an publishing company, I find the lack of mention of the romantic side of the relationship between the two main characters ridiculous. It is important for both plot related issues, such as Aang's Chakra and the Avatar state, as well as character development and signs of increased maturity. You are free to disagree with me, but I feel the article is incomplete, and the information has been removed arbitrarily due to personal preference. Please discuss. - KElliott 08:24 24 April 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.188.46.59 (talk) 06:24, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are a little late to the party. This has already been discussed and resolved. Character pages are not biographies, they are just descriptions of the plot. The plot already mentions the kiss. Anything more is in-universe material, which is against the manual of writing about fiction. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 11:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. However, there is no mention of the happening with Aang's Chakra when he meets Guru Pathik. He is unable to muster his Avatar state due to his love for Katara, and later has his seventh Chakra blocked during the ending of the 'Earth' book because of this. Personally, I think the characters are a little too young for such adult themes, but the plot is the plot (and we've seen younger with Miyazaki-sama). Also, I'd be obliged if you directed me to the Fiction Manual. I'd like to re-read it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.232.213.196 (talk) 14:16, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I am so very late for this, but.. "and later has his seventh Chakra blocked during the ending of the 'Earth' book because of this": whaaat? You know, I have this nagging feeling it got blocked because Azula freaking shot lighting at him. Well anyway, six months late but here's the Fiction Manual.--Secretss (talk) 14:35, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reception section[edit]

I am aware that Katara use to have a reception section, but it was deleted probably because there was not enough material. However, the recent review on "The Southern Raiders" from IGN more or less gave her character a relatively good review. Also the review from some of the earlier episodes or the finale on the IGN website should give enough material as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.88.239 (talk) 06:08, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Making a reception section would be hugely useful. --haha169 (talk) 17:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Age[edit]

Why is Katara's age listed as 14-17? Each season of the series spanned a season, not a year, the first season is winter, the second is spring and the third is summer. As of the end of the series, only 9 months have passed, not 3 years. 189.60.129.184 (talk) 18:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's never said how old Katara is (not that I can remember seeing). She's slightly older than Aang, a little younger than Sokka and little bit more younger than Zuko. So we have a range of ages she could be (not the progression of age). 203.117.66.237 (talk) 15:08, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nick.com says she's 14 at the series' start. 189.4.250.18 (talk) 23:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The article has listed Katara's age as 14 for a while now - why is this still being discussed? Rashu0 (talk) 00:00, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Cause when another anon brought it up in August, months passed until someone replied. 189.4.250.18 (talk) 19:40, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever - no problems now. Rashu0 (talk) 20:52, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alias[edit]

Why isn't The Painted Lady listed as one of Katara's aliases? Rashu0 (talk) 02:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because it is used in just one episode and does not have an impact on the series, which are the ad hoc standards we came up with a few months back. NuclearWarfare (Talk) 02:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, hey, do you think you could help out on List of Avatar: The Last Airbender characters. I haven't worked on it in a little while, but I think with a little work, we could get it through WP:GAN (like the Simpsons Family) or through WP:FLC (like List of Naruto characters). NuclearWarfare (Talk) 02:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I just realized that there is an actual spirit named The Painted Lady so it can't be listed as one of Katara's aliases. And I will help out on the list of characters. I haven't worked on it in a while but I'll start again. -- Rashu0 (talk) 22:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixes[edit]

Over the last hour I've fixed scores of links due to the new page name. I have fixed all article links for disambig. bypassing. :D

Old Katara[edit]

How about adding an information about old Katara from The Legend of Korra? And her picture too.--Shultc (talk) 23:32, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"June Pippinpaddleopsicopolis"[edit]

Just to clear this up real quick per WP:BRD - User:107.190.98.32 added "June Pippinpaddleopsicopolis" to the alias section of the infobox (diff) and it was reverted by @Palindromesemordnilap (diff). This is, in fact, not gibberish and is an alias used by Katara used in the show (e.g., noted here). FWIW, Aang's article has "Bonzu Pippinpaddleopsicopolis the 3rd" in his infobox. As long as we're keeping other sparingly-used nicknames like "Sapphire Fire" in the infobox, I think this is fine to leave as well. —DanCherek (talk) 02:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, DanCherek, I didn't know that. I'm not actually familiar with the show – I just figured this was a test edit since it looked so strange and since I didn't see that name come up at all in the article. Those were the only reasons why I reverted it. Definitely feel free to add it back. palindrome§ǝɯoɹpuᴉןɐd 03:03, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Palindromesemordnilap - done! Super understandable, it's a ridiculous-looking name. Figured if anything, having this bit on the article's talk page might help anyone else who comes across it in the future and gets confused. Cheers, —DanCherek (talk) 03:06, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
