== Picture of the fictional moon Pandora ==

Does anyone have any picture of the fictional Pandora as seen from space?

== Splitting ==

this page is too long and really needs splitting into a few sections
i have already made a page [[pandoran biosphere]].
I do believe that this page needs splitting, because as it mentions in Article size under readability issues and technical issues.Here it explains that large articles such as the original one are bad for poor or slow connections. secondly to read the full article which is too long at just over 6,000 words. this is a logical split as it is a subject that adds to the encyclopedia by itself.

== Limited Eywa Information ==

Hi All, I was reading the [[Avatar (2009 film)]] page and realized that there was very limited information on Eywa. I looked through the archive and did not find much talk about adding more Eywa info, and searched the [[Themes in Avatar]] page also to not find much information about Eywa. 

Does anyone else feel that having information about Eywa (as central to the plot) is important to [[Avatar (2009 film)|this page]], at least as a subsection? Or would this question be more suited for the [[Themes in Avatar|Themes]] Talk page? I also saw that searching Eywa redirects to [[Avatar (2009 film)|this page]]—would creating an Eywa page be appropriate? Or would adding Eywa information to [[Fictional universe of Avatar]] be better? 

I can understand if people feel that too much information on Eywa makes (the) articles read more 'fan' oriented rather than encyclopedic, but I feel that Wikipedia would benefit from expanding on such a core part of the film. 

Thanks!

== Merge proposal ==

I recently moved [[Pandora (Avatar)]] to mainspace, and believe that article serves as a better location for the contents of this article, as the primary and really only location within ''Avatar''. This article is significantly lacking in sources and has [[MOS:IN-U]] issues. Whilst I did create the Pandora article, if Wikipedia consensus means an edit history merge is necessary, then I am okay with that as well.

:*'''Note''': [[Pandora (Avatar)]] is not yet fully complete. I have several sections I am still working on [[User:11WB/Pandora (Avatar)|in userspace]], such as for reception (in much greater detail than what is currently present in this article).

::I support merging (or just redirecting) [[Fictional universe of Avatar]], which I agree has too much in-universe content, to [[Pandora (Avatar)]], which is more appropriately fleshed out per [[WP:WAF]]. This article can be linked to on Pandora's talk page, if anything needs revisiting. The Pandora article looks good, and I look forward to seeing more details added. Having written up [[RDA (Avatar)]], I find it very likely that these books have other chapters more focused on Pandora. I recommend using [[WP:LIBRARY]] if you haven't already to try to get articles (or even book chapters) that way.

:::Thanks for this! Do you think a [[WP:HISTMERGE]] is necessary here? [[User:11WB|<span style="color:#8C6A31; ">11WB</span>]] ([[User talk:11WB|talk]])  16:28, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
::::No, I don't think it is. While there is some scoe overlap, there is not much content overlap, and what content is here is not worth keeping within the page history of [[Pandora (Avatar)]]. It is good enough to just link to it to on the talk page after a merge/redirect.

*'''Support''' Pandora is where most of the series takes place, so it's too much of an overlap. The Pandora article is much more detailed and well sourced. [[User:Zxcvbnm|ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ]] ([[User talk:Zxcvbnm|ᴛ]]) 17:16, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
