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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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
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)
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)
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)
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)"
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)
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)
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)

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

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)
