Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 2)

This is the second of hopefully three featured lists candidates that will be going through FLC. After a lengthy peer review, it should be ready to go through FLC. So, what do you guys think? - NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 02:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

• "which finishes when they recruit Toph." How does the quest "finish"?

        • 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)
          • I've replaced the other 2 with more reliable sources.--haha169 (talk) 02:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

• "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?

• 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)
  • Yay, thanks! For those who are wondering, SFB was the one who did the peer review. - NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 03:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
