The list was promoted by User:Scorpion0422 23:44, 6 January 2009 [1].
This was written in the same way as season 1 and season 2, so it should be good enough to be a Featured List. Let the nitpicking begin. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 04:08, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:59, 27 December 2008 (UTC) [reply]Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)
- "The season begins with the protagonist and his friends Sokka, Katara, and Toph traveling" This phrase uses the noun + -ing sentence structure, which is ungrammatical. Consider: "In the season's beginning, the protagonist and his friends Sokka, Katara, and Toph are traveling...
- "Prior antagonist and anti-hero Zuko"-->The former antagonist and anti-hero Zuko...
- "The final season featured twenty-one episodes, as opposed to the twenty episodes contained within each of the previous two seasons."-->The final season features twenty-one episodes, one more than in the previous two seasons.
- "
Allthe DVDs were encoded solely for Region 1." - "Episodes were written by a team of writers, which consisted of Aaron Ehasz, Elizabeth Welch Ehasz, Tim Hedrick, John O'Bryan; along with creators DiMartino and Konietzko." Why is this in the past tense? Has the team disbanded?
- Well, as season 3 is the last season, yes, I believe they have disbanded. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 03:59, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "Mark Hamill joins the cast to voice Fire Lord Ozai, who, while having a major role in the plot, had previously only been shown playing minor roles in the series."-->Mark Hamill joins the cast to voice Fire Lord Ozai, who, for the first time in the series, has a major role in the plot.
- "The season also received
somepraise for its video and sound quality." - "and Joaquim dos Santos was nominated "Directing in an Animated Television Production"" Word missing.
- "Aang accidentally takes a school uniform and is taken to a Fire Nation school" Comma after this phrase.
- "over the objections of Sokka and the rest"-->against the objections of Sokka and the rest...
- "However, Katara feeds Appa berries to make it seem like Appa is sick." How does this contradict the previous sentence?
- "and he helps her to destroy the factory polluting the water."-->and he helps her to destroy the water-polluting factory.
- "Meanwhile, Iroh devises a plan for escaping the prison"-->Meanwhile, Iroh devises a plan to escape the prison...
- "body building" I believe it is one word.
- "The gang discovers there have been strange disappearances in a spooky town" Add that before "there".
- "Feeling he is unprepared" Add that before "he".
- "Hakoda returns with several people who" "who"-->whom.
- "of the Sun Warriors
in orderto learn" - "The DVDs contain five episodes in four volumes, with a boxed set following." What do you mean by "following"?
Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:59, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
http://www.economicexpert.com/a/List:of:assets:owned:by:Viacom.htm is not a reliable source, it is a mirror of the Wikipedia article.- Interesting. I never noticed that. New source from CNET. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 04:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What makes http://firefox.org/news/articles/959/1/Review---Avatar-The-Last-Airbender---quotThe-Day-of-Black-Sunquot-Parts-I-amp-II/Page1.html a reliable source? I know that it is sourcing a review, but how do we know that the quotations were transcribed accurately if we don't know how reliable the source is?Bah, I hate WP:RS, especially because I know that's right. I'll hunt around for another source.- Note to Haha16 - I could use help on this one; you're usually pretty good about finding sources.

- I ended up replacing the quote entirely and adding a note about Sozin's Comet. However, if you can work the quote back in, that would be great, because I really liked it. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 04:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The season, and especially the finale, received much critical acclaim, with praises from sources such as DVD Talk[2] and IGN. - "especially" is point-of-view, I would replace it with mainly and remove the "and" if you do that.
- Especially highlights the fact that the finale was indeed one of the most highlighted parts of the season, but that reason of the season was praised as well. I feel that "the season, mainly the finale, received much critical acclaim" makes it seem that only the Season Finale received acclaim.

- The season's executive producers and co-creators are Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who worked alongside episode director and co-producer Aaron Ehasz - the rest of the article is in past tense, so "are" should be were
