"Season Two (Book 2: Earth) of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an American animated television series on Nickelodeon, first aired its 20 episodes from March 17, 2006 to December 1, 2006."-->Season Two (Book 2: Earth) of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an American animated television series on Nickelodeon, aired 20 episodes from March 17, 2006 to December 1, 2006.- There were reruns of the show during this period; first aired is better, I believe. - NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 23:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "
The season begins with protagonist Aang, and his friends Katara and Sokka, and their quest to find an Earthbending teacher"-->In the season's beginning, the protagonist Aang and his friends Katara and Sokka are on a quest to find an Earthbending teacher. "which finishes when they recruit Toph." How does the quest "finish"?- I thought that it is implied that Toph becomes his teacher. In any case, she is wikilinked. - NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 23:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"The season ends with Ba Sing Se falling to the Fire Nation, and Aang escaping with his friends on a recovered Appa."-->At the season's end, Ba Sing Se falls to the Fire Nation and Aang escapes with his friends on a recovered Appa."Only three volumes have been released for Region 2." Shouldn't it be "Only the first three volumes have been released for Region 2."?- Oops. Fixed.
"The majority of the"-->Most of the...- "
All of the season's music was composed by" "However, several new characters also appear""In addition, two other characters"- Change to "Two antagonists, Mai and Ty Lee, are introduced as Azula's minions who are tasked with capturing Aang"
"though it did not win." Not a complete sentence.- Somehow the info was deleted from a long time ago. I readded it. - NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 23:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- DVD Active's sourcing is used as a review; and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we are using this a source to their quote; not to an informational analysis. As for the other two, I'd have to find out its usage as a cite...which I'll do soon. --haha169 (talk) 00:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've replaced the other 2 with more reliable sources.--haha169 (talk) 02:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "Aang, Katara, Sokka, Momo, and Appa travel to an Earth Kingdom military base to receive an escort to the city of Omashu" Doesn't make sense. Why would someone receive an escort to a place?
- They actually are being escorted to the city, as it is a wartime situation. - NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 20:14, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Support: Following the peer review I find the article to be of a very high standard and, including the odd little improvements here at FLC, believe it meets the FL criteria. I especially commend the inventive use of colour to match the series title page/cover. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 02:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yay, thanks! For those who are wondering, SFB was the one who did the peer review. - NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 03:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
