"Producing the series is a lengthy process, taking about 10 to 12 months per episode." There has to be an error with this, I would suggest season or book instead of episode, but will not edit it as I am not 100% sure. darrennie ( talk) 18:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

At Wikipedia:Non-free content review#The Legend of Korra, I've asked:
Editors of this article are invited to comment there also. Sandstein 11:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
There seems to be some back and forth going on about whether we refer to each season as a "book" or a "season". I'm of the opinion that we should be referring to each season as "season" to avoid in-universe language. We're talking about a television series, not actual books, so for our overviews and lead, tables, and other key areas, "season" should be used. I can, however, see another possibility, which is to reference the seasons as books, if and only if we feature proper capitalization and quotation marks (or is it italics? What would the MOS say?), a la "Book Two" or Book Two. The article on Star Wars seems to allow for use of Episode IV. Anyhow, I don't think it's proper encyclopedic style to casually refer to the seasons as books. Them's my thoughts. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 19:00, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
I discovered two big mistakes on Zap2It today, while researching some show called Chowder. The first is that Zap2It didn't recognize a third season of the show, although other sources do. And, for S2E27, they listed "The Firebird Sweet; The Bubble With Billy" which turns out to be an episode from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. I'm not pushing a POV one way or another, just saying that Zap2It, while reliable and generally accepted, and totally suitable for most of our flamewar needs, ohhh-ccasionally makes mistakes. But obviously, please do not consider this an earnest counter-argument to your WP:RS, Shadow. :) Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 06:31, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
The section on cast for book 2 seems to be a bit of a stub. Then again, maybe the cast and characters section needs to be readdressed in light of separate books receiving their own articles. Revising this section to only contain characters who appear in all of the Korra seasons. Finally, the "Book 2 recurring cast" table is misleading, for example the "Dark Spider Spirit" and "Wan" appear only a couple of times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.67.75.93 ( talk) 21:43, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
I know Amon's article was deleted due to a lack of reliable sources and only being important for 1 season, but Tenzin seems to be notable enough for his own article as the second most important character in Korra. I may make an article for him soon, but only if I recieve help from fellow editors. I don't plan on making ones for other important characters, but Tenzin already has a lot of background information and reception. Mrmoustache14 ( talk) 22:13, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
Why is their no list of episodes page? Has someone just not got round to it? Most series, including ATLA have these, and MOS:TV suggests creating this page even before creating individual season pages, which already exist for LoK. - adamstom97 ( talk) 11:09, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
I'm concerned about this page's GA status. It contains a lot of one- or two-sentence paragraphs, outdated info, and unsourced statements. Tezero ( talk) 20:17, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
Quote: "The Legend of Korra is set in the fictional world of Avatar: The Last Airbender 70 years after the events of that series."
I think the structure of this sentence is a bit misleading, since a casual reader might cut it as "The Legend of Korra is set in the fictional world of Avatar:" and then gets stuck at "The Last Airbender 70 years after the events of that series."
It might be better to place 2 facts into 2 sentences like: "The Legend of Korra is set in the fictional world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It takes place 70 years after the events of that series."
Quote: "The focus of the series is "bending," the ability of some humans (and animals) to telekinetically manipulate the element[...]"
As I see it, this is not completely true, since Firebenders are not just telekinetically manipulating existing fire, but they rather manipulate the energy in a way to create and use fire. However I'm not quite sure how it should be described accurately. -- 89.14.9.146 ( talk) 16:01, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Please consider offering an opinion at Talk:The Legend of Korra (season 4)#Reliable sources for episode titles. Sandstein 17:28, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
This sentence is weird:
"Some production steps, such as color correction and retakes, continued up until the date of the series finale, December 19, 2014.[43]"
The cited source only mentions that they're still working on it. http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/104462825022/1028-days-ago-i-started-this-blog-with-a-post
It's a minor thing, but my guess is that whoever wrote this is not a reliable wikipedia writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.89.166.126 ( talk) 18:18, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
IP user @ 184.97.222.66: says the show is still airing on Nick.com. Though all the credible sources published that sister channel Nicktoons will air new episodes of the show. But the IP user doesn't agree with this. Nevertheless lots of credible says it started airing on Friday, Nov. 28 at 9pm on Nicktoons. If he doesn't provide a good explanation to back up his removal I'm going to re-add it.
Hey, since this article seems to have gotten it right, maybe it would do good to get your guys' thoughts at Talk:Korra_(The_Legend_of_Korra) which seems to be gripped over the issue of Korra and Asami's implication of a lesbian relationship. Tutelary ( talk) 16:02, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
So I'm aware of the Koraa/Asami romance situation, but I thought it might be useful to start a conversation since there's so much back and forth over the language lately, mostly from the eager fanbase. For example here where a user says that the two leave as "a couple". From what I understand (and correct me if I am wrong) the final episode depicts the two women taking each others' hands and (basically) walking into the sunset together. The exact meaning of this event came after the finale aired. So it seems to me that we should be first describing verbatim what happened, (that is, what can be seen, not interpreted) and explaining that closing shot from a real-world perspective, a la "In the final scene, Korra and Asami take each other's hands and leave for the Spirit World. After the finale aired, show creators explained that this final shot was intended to symbolize the two characters entering into the Spirit World as romantic partners, blah blah blah." I know that we already have language to that effect, but some users seem to be having a problem weighing what they have seen against what they have heard, or have come to understand. Anyhow, my comment may be meaningless since Sandstein, ChamithN, et al. are on the ball, but I figured I'd open the dialogue in case we could avoid more of the back-and-forth. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 19:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
I keep having to refer people to the Korra Talk page's Big List of Korra-Asami Relationship Sources. I think if I copied that around, maybe I wouldn't have to do it so often, because hopefully people would check the Talk pages of the articles they're editing before editing out LBGT-related material.
I bring this up not to specifically invoke the latest (above), but because variations of it keep happening on every Legend of Korra page and I keep having to spend time re-defending that material and getting it put back, when I'd rather be further improving the Asami Sato article or working on the big-list-of-characters page. But this is taking all of my editorial time, and it's getting frustrating, and that is showing up in how I interact with people on talk pages, because I get real tired of re-having the same debates over and over again. Solarbird ( talk) 02:03, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Over here /info/en/?search=Talk:List_of_Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender_characters I've been trying to get a discussion going about either modifying the List of Avatar: The Last Airbender characters page to include Legend of Korra characters, or starting a separate LoK characters page. After thinking about it a bit, I'm really leaning towards a separate page, just to keep things from becoming hopelessly unwieldy. The only other person to comment so far is also in that camp, but I wanted to throw it out here too. Thoughts? Solarbird ( talk) 07:07, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Before editing and/or removing commentary on Korra and Asami's relationship, please, please, please first examine The Big List of Korra-Asami Relationship Sources, "Room for Interpreation" vs. "Room for Deniability", and Asami Sato: Lead Sentence Proposal. Many other editors working on this topic have repeatedly come to consensus on these matters; please consider that before removing material. Solarbird ( talk) 18:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Removed by @ Cyphoidbomb: were Category:American LGBT-related television programs and Category:LGBT-related animation. It's clear from the makeup of those categories that in neither case is a show required to be primarily LGBT-themed to be included; Paranorman is included in the latter, apparently on the basis of two lines of dialogue. If Paranorman is acceptable, Legend of Korra is as well. Cyphoidbomb also suggests that the only indication of any LGBT content was the final scene; I recommend looking at The Big List of Korra-Asami Relationship Sources on the Korra article talk page, many of which discuss Korra and Asami's developing relationship over Books 3 and 4. I further note the creators' joint comments on their relationship and suggestion that you rewatch those two seasons "without 'hetero glasses'" as support that this was not tacked on - they stated outright they'd started working towards it at the beginning of Book 3, with strict network limitations but network approval.
It is my opinion that these categories should not have been removed (particularly Category:LGBT-related animation) and I propose they be reinstated. Solarbird ( talk) 00:59, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
We have a source! But I can't read Chinese charcters. http://atla-annotated.tumblr.com/image/91038442097 definitely has it. On comparison to this wanted poster from the series, I'm quite solid on Bolin is 愽林 - Google Translate agrees, coming up with "Bó lín" as translation. All the posters can be seen here; can anybody get Mako's name out of that? Solarbird ( talk) 18:30, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Done. Now, if we have a source somewhere that tells us what variety of the Chinese language is used for longer texts (Mandarin?) and how these characters would be pronounced in it, that would be a helpful addition. Sandstein 11:34, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
Apologies if I am stepping on anyone's toes here if it was added by someone present, but I'm concerned by the presence of the statement "The series has been a critical and commercial success, drawing favorable comparisons with the HBO series Game of Thrones and the work of Hayao Miyazaki" (both comparisons supported by this ref) in the lead (and as the second sentence no less). Only one source is making these comparisons, so it seems a little WP:UNDUE in terms of the prominence it takes in the article. I'd like to recommend that it be moved to the "writing and themes" subsection of Critical response. Snow talk 13:08, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
Adamstom.97, ChamithN, to (hopefully) quickly clear up a matter, the lead section should summarize content found elsewhere in the article, but including citations in the lead is not prohibited, especially when there might be some ambiguity or it might be worth dropping some extra science about a fact. I recently re-learned this guideline just before I made this edit, so we're all still learning here. The guideline is WP:LEADCITE. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 04:41, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi All,
Why isn't there any Nielsen ratings for Book 4? Also, is there a way to get Nick to tell us what the viewership was/is since the end of the series? If so, this could be added to the graphic! (I am just getting to Book 4 now, but don't want to pay the $30 that Amazon Prime wants for it...at least yet!
