Felicity Merriman edit you just did
does it not then follow that the info that her second meet outfit was originally released on its own as the traveling gown should also be deleted, as this still isn't the doll's page? I edited the first meet outfit just to make the two descriptions match.

 * Because that detail about the Rose Garden Dress is unneeded bulk on the main character page and best left to the article about the doll specifically. The part about the Traveling Gown is because it was released as a Short Story outfit. And the details about the purse are unneeded trivia. Do me a favor, put on your Big Girl Panties and Deal.

25th Anniversary Shirts?
While scouring through eBay I managed to find auction pages for a 25th anniversary T-shirt given to employees of American Girl, and a 25th anniversary T-shirt to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Madison Children's Museum Sale.

Since the former item was for employees only and never intended for wide release unlike the American Girl Tenth Anniversary Shirt, and the latter item was to celebrate MCM's own 25th anniversary (the shirt reads "2012 American Girl Benefit Sale", separate from AG's own celebrations in 2011), should either - or both - items be included in the wiki in some form? --AkaiKaze (talk) 23:05, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * I say include them, as they are official. Nethilia (talk) 09:56, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Blue Jean Basic photo
Would you like me to retake the picture without the stand? I'm refering to the Blue Jeans Basic photo. Njcjd


 * Yes. Also, the towel is a touch distracting, and the angle is too low--it felt like I was looking up the doll's nose! I find that having the camera a touch above the doll's face--not too much--makes for a good straight-on picture. Snap multiple pictures, not just one, and find the best. Also, since this is a personal picture, try to upload at about 600 px on the short side. The picture was almost good enough. Think catalogue. Nethilia (talk)

How do you get your dolls to look like they are standing? or are they lying down? I am open to any suggestions. I would like to learn. Njcjd (talk) 02:25, April 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * They look like they're standing because they are. I don't own an AG doll stand, so I make sure my doll is balanced when they're taking shots. The main thing is to balance their feet--most of the time, I have my dolls stand with their feet slightly apart for stability. I've yet to do a formal "How to take good pics" thing. I may later, but at a personal location. One thing that helps is that I take pics multiple times--since digital cameras have semi-endless "film" it's easy to snap five or six pictures.

Hi, I redid the Blue Jeans Basics I photo. I hope it meets the standard. I do have other outfits etc. that are on the picture needed page. I could also add those if you want. I didn't delete the comment on the Blue Jean page about a picture being needed in case this picture wasn't good enough. I didn't want to undo something that might need to be redone. Njcjd (talk) 17:58, April 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Much improved! Continue to take nice clear pictures just like that. I've removed the picture needed image from the article. Could you please label which doll that is on both the article and image notes (It looks like AG#12), and maybe upload a larger image if you have it? Nethilia (talk) 01:04, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Yes you're right it is an AG#12. She recently returned from the hospital for eye replacement due to silver eye. I think these eyes are a darker brown than the original. Where should I post the larger file? Just upload it as a photo or replace the one in the article?Njcjd (talk) 01:34, April 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you look at the image, there's a spot where you can upload a new version of the file. It'll overwrite the file. Nethilia (talk) 03:18, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

I added pictures on the Slumber Shirt and Mini Bear outfit page. Please check if they are up to parr. I did look to try to delete the picture needed caption and wasn't sure, so once again I didn't want to mess things up and left it to you to clean it up. Sorry to be so needy. Njcjd (talk) 15:05, April 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Looks good. You should be fine. If pictures you upload aren't up to par, I or any other Admins will alert you. Thanks for helping so much! Oh, and is all that needs to be removed when you put a pic up. Nethilia (talk) 00:47, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Defaultsorting
Had a bit of a category sorting spree on character articles just recently, and I was just wondering if we can muscle out some effort in doing the same with the rest of the characters. Blakegripling ph (talk) 01:03, May 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Announce it on the main page as a project, that might get people pointed that way. Nethilia (talk) 01:08, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

AutoWikiBrowser
In case you're wondering as to why I ended up flooding the Recent Changes log, I used the AutoWikiBrowser tool for sorting out character pages by surname. The tool allows users to log in to any wiki for automated administration, so I pretty much exploited it to good use. Blakegripling ph (talk) 12:37, May 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Nifty! Good work. Oh, and thanks for moving my header off the page for me. Nethilia (talk) 00:58, May 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Just wanted to experiment and muck around with some tools, so I did it. Blakegripling ph (talk) 01:19, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Quality over Quantity disappearance
What happened to this policy? I realize there's been a lot of wiki maintenance during my forced downtime away from the Internet this past week, but it seems strange that this one policy has disappeared. --AkaiKaze (talk) 00:49, May 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, it looks like the site name change had a typo in it. It's been corrected. Still there! Nethilia (talk) 03:07, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Cursing
Hey. Please do not use those bad words u used in one post. Also i am a beginner so i have little experience writing articles. Im really sorry if i made u mad. --Unsigned comment by Iluvanimals at 11:30 UTC on 7/31/13.


 * I am a grown woman in my 30s. "Bad words"? What are you, in elementary school? Sit down, child. I curse. I don't give a damn that I curse. I will curse on talk pages, I might cuss on my own personal blogs. This project is for people who can be mature, and part of maturity is accepting that some people cuss. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get the hell over yourself. Nethilia (talk) 01:43, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Dear Nethilia,

If you go to the link below, you will find photos of retired american girl dolls, like JLY 9, JLY 10, and JLY 20. Just in case you need photos.

 * Those are personal to their site and it would be inappropriate to use their images; furthermore, they are all too small and photoshopped images. Nethilia (talk) 01:43, August 1, 2013 (UTC)
