Talk:Coup of Ba Sing Se

I think we should change this to Takeover/Coup of Ba Sing Se, and include this battle as a subsection. Puragus - Talk 23:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Could someone respond to this? Puragus - Talk 05:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, guys. This is an issue. Do we count duels between benders as battles, or do there have to be armies and politics involved? That's why I support changing the article, because a "battle" should encompass something more than a four-way duel. Puragus - Talk 19:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Puragus, there should be a section about the takeover of Ba Sing Se, including the coup and Azula's schemes. It's a very important part that can't be left out. Omnibender - Talk 21:16, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Alright well should we add to this and just rename the article or.......Alex101313 - Talk 21:24, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

To be clear, my position is that we should, in fact, change the name of the article. Puragus - Talk 22:42, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Great. Any one else want to comment? Alex101313 - Talk 23:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, SuperFlash101 suggested it. Perhaps he has something to say. Energybender - Talk 23:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

What about you Energybender? Alex101313 - Talk 23:35, 17 November 2008 (UTC) About the benders fighting comment,those should probably be called duals. Like when Azula and Zuko fought Aang and Katara in the Old Ba Sing Se,it should be called the 4-way Dual in Old Ba Sing Se. Just a suggestion. -Zeno Panthakree 01:22, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I would like to throw out there the suggestion of renaming it "The Duel in Old Ba Sing Se". I'm creating a "duel" template, so we can use that. This way, we can also create a page like "Azula's Coup" and come up with some kind of template for things like that. We can link it on this page, by putting "Main Article: Azula's Coup" in the "History" section. --SuperFlash101 01:43, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

In my opinion we shouldn't have pages for duels, just events and battles. If we had them for things like duels, we'd have one for every fight in the series, and that's unnecessary when we have pages for all the episodes. Puragus - Talk 01:52, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Um, why shouldn't we have duel pages? We SHOULD, I mean, why would BATTLES only be necessary, we have the episode pages in which those happen, too. I've already created the Duel Template, anyway. --SuperFlash101 02:04, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Because, like I just said, We'd have to have a page for every fight in the series. These pages would either be very short, or just transcriptions of the fights, which is something we've always avoided doing. Plus, we already have pages for all the episodes, so it's unnecessary.

 * Well, we can AT LEAST have IMPORTANT duels. I mean, this isn't a battle, it's a duel. And we do the same thing for battles and your not saying we don't need those. --SuperFlash101 02:20, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, first of all, the battles ate significant to the progression of the war. Secondly, there are not nearly as many battles as there are duels, which happen in nearly every episode. Third, what constitutes an "important" duel? (I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just raising the issue). Puragus - Talk 02:28, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
