McKenna and gymnastics sets


As the previous gymnastics set was retired before McKenna's release, her gymnastics-related items were functionally the gymnastics set(s) for 2012. Also, Girl of the Year is a My American Girl product, in much the same way the Bitty Twins are a Bitty Baby product. I conjecture that there's rationale here.

 * Girl of the Year became its own distinct, independent line from JLY/My AG starting with Jess back in 2006. Unless American Girl decides to merge the GotY line back with My AG, GotY items are to remain out of the My AG items. --AkaiKaze (talk) 08:18, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, this still doesn't change the fact that someone looking for every gymnastics set AG has produced will not find all of them in the related page links. Perhaps a link with a note that she's not an AG today/JLY/My AG/why does AG keep freaking changing names product would be appropriate in this and similar situations (Mia and skating outfits, for example)?
 * Dmpecht (talk) 08:23, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's what categories are for. In fact, all the GotY/My AG/Bitty sports outfits can be found at Category:Sport Outfits. --AkaiKaze (talk) 08:31, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * You mean the one that's missing every one of Mia's skate outfits (and presumably other things as well), only includes outfits and not stand-alone equipment or scenery sets, and is organized by the names of the outfits rather than their sports? SO HELPFUL.
 * Dmpecht (talk) 08:40, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, the one that is labeled "Sports Outfits" (therefore does not include equipment or scenery because those aren't outfits, those are accessories, learn to define things) and if it is missing Mia's items, can easily have those added to the category. If you want to be a snarky little brat, how about you snark properly, hmm?

Hospital Gown III
Hi, I added the picture to the hospital gown page because this is the comment on that page. Maybe you should take out the "or" if you don't mean it.

 * An article that is just a picture is not an article. It's under Basic Rules of the Article Creation Policy. (And yes, people have been banned in the past for doing that kind of shenanigans.)


 * That message above is a Wikia-wide default message for all unmade articles/links and as much as I'd like to change it, that's something only Wikia can do. --AkaiKaze (talk) 00:46, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

Article descriptions
Faux silk silver purse. Flowers and fringe decorations. THAT SENTENCE SOUNDS GOOD TO YOU??? I think it should be "There is a faux silk silver purse decorated with flowers and fringe. Can you explain to me why you think the older version is better?

 * Have you taken a look at how all the other items on the wiki are described, like the School Jumper, Cécile's_Nightwear, or Saige's Painting Set just to name a few? That's how a lot of items on the wiki are to be described.


 * Even if I didn't delete your edits, Nethilia would, and if you have a problem with that, you can leave a message in her talk page --AkaiKaze (talk) 16:12, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

can we make this place a bit more friendly?
Ok, I know this is a wiki and all but I just want to tell you that the majority of people that come on here are under 13 years of age (after all AG is for kids!) and sometimes they don't understand that articles have to be written properly and they put something like "really cute sparly pink dress!" I understand you don't want opinions on here but instead of yelling at them and being rude, teach them how to do it properly. Because when you be rude some of those kids will be horrible back and put crap and profanity all over the wiki and then YOU will have to clean it up.If we all try to be nicer I think we will have a much friendlier and better wiki. --Momadothehon (talk) 19:06,
 * I understand that we need to be strict on things, besides the fact that Wikia's TOS forbids under 13 users from editing, but yes I get your point. Blakegripling ph (talk) 00:50, June 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) As Blake said, under 13 isn't allowed. The ToS states as such. So regardless of who the dolls are targeted to, it's not anything but a resource for those under 13.


 * 2) Be a Big Girl. There's an expectation of professionalism that even as 13 year old can manage. I don't see the need to mollycoddle anyone who hasn't read the rules, and the rules have explicitly stated from Day One that we don't want opinions. That does include "this is pretty" or "I like this." If you are old enough to be on the internet and old enough to contribute, you are old enough to know how to behave like a mature person. As for people who come back and vandalize because they were told they were misbehaving--they are clearly not mature enough for the project. If you're 13, I assume you know enough to read the rules. We're here to make a resource, not here to handhold. Nethilia (talk) 03:43, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Archiving Your Talk Page
Hey, it might be a good idea to archive your talk page; it scrolls pretty far now. Maybe everything before 2013. ETA: I'd be happy to do it for you. Nethilia (talk)
 * Yeah, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could archive my talk page. That pesky thing most people call the real world (and family/personal obligations) seem to be occupying far more of my time than I would like for it to have. --AkaiKaze (talk) 21:43, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Done and done. You can go to AkaiKaze/talkheader and put in any details you'd want to have on the very top of your page, and your archive page is there for you as well. Nethilia (talk)

Important Questions
I have quite a few questions that I hope you will be able to answer.

1. Will there ever be all of the "Looking Back" section's information, from each of the Central Series novels, in the Story Collections?

2. I know it is "unknown", but is there even a possibility for "Caroline" and "Marie-Grace and Cecile" to have Story Collections?

3. Why do the American Girls who were created after Kaya, in 2002, not have Short Stories?

4. Will more Mysteries be created so that each American Girl has an equal number of them, like the more Short Stories were made for those who have them?

5. Will the Mysteries (if there are enough for an American Girl, such as Julie, who has 4) ever come into a "Mystery Collection", like the Short Stories, which are normally in Short Story Collections?

6. Why do only some of the American Girls have "Companion Novels" focusing on their best friends? Is there a possibility that, (besides Marie-Grace and Cecile, who are best friends but in the same Central Series), the other American Girls will eventually have Companion Novels?

7. Will these Companion Novels ever be a part of the Story Collections?

I would really like to have answers to these questions, so I know more about the series of each girl and know what is better to buy. For example, I would like to know if it is better to buy a Story Collection or just a boxed set of the Central Series, since there is not all of the Looking Back info in the Collection, which I'm actually interested in. I'm also wondering if I should wait to see if the Mysteries come together in a collection and buy them all as 1, or if I will always have to buy them all serparately.

I hope you can answer all, if any, of these questions. Thank you.

 * I personally don't think I am qualified to answer these questions. You can ask American Girl themselves through their Contact Form; alternatively you can also post your questions on their Facebook page or tweet to them directly on Twitter. --AkaiKaze (talk) 00:52, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * I did already ask these on their Facebook page, (and they said these were great questions), but they said they didn't have any info to share about new books, after I was waiting for an answer from you. Oh, well. Guess there's no idea yet.

Isabelle picture
When do you plan on putting the Isabelle doll picture up? She was released today on Good Morning America, so people know who she is and what she does. -- User:Dazelme24 (talk) 15:11, December 31, 2013‎
 * First, sign your posts so I know who posted what.


 * Second, clean images of Isabelle are not available on the official website as of right this moment. I'm pretty sure the entire world knows what Isabelle looks like, but until she (and her stuff) shows up in American Girl's online store, all of Isabelle's articles will have to go picture-less for now. --AkaiKaze (talk) 23:28, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you're welcome! I finally realized I missed a No wonder it kept messing up!

I'm confused
Talk pages (not User Talk pages) on articles is the same as Comments, the Comments feature isn't enabled. So I can't use what's not enabled. What do you mean by Forum? Because it was a comment I wrote, and comments (I assume you mean my question) do include questions. Disney Wiki has that a lot, as well as a Forum, which is used a lot too. ♚InspiredAndNatural♚Kristi  (message me here) 13:29, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * For one thing, this isn't the Disney Wiki. What they do is their schtick and their rules don't apply to this wiki, much like how this wiki's rules doesn't apply to theirs.


 * Okay. But I was actually referring to wikis in general, and Disney Wiki shut off Talk pages long before I decided to join (presumably when Comments became available on Wikia). Regarding your message below, the Once Upon a Time Wiki has a similar rule. They have a warning right above where users type in their comment (Comments feature enabled, by the way). The warning is that Comments is for regarding the article and what it needs, and that the Forums is for conversations and personal questions about the show. ♚InspiredAndNatural♚Kristi   (message me here) 15:47, April 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Talk pages on the American Girl wiki are used to discuss/debate issues as it pertains to an article. (Your question was about whether there were other people on this wiki who watch Once Upon A Time on a flimsy basis of the actress who plays Cornelia in Samantha's film.) They are not comment pages, and any irrelevant or off-topic discussion will be deleted. You might want to read the Talk Pages policy as people have been banned for misusing talk pages on this wiki. --AkaiKaze (talk) 15:18, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
