Cecile Revel: Gates of Gold
Hey Nethilia! Browsing about and saw Cecile's page. (Sorry, I know she has the accent mark on her "e," but I don't have that on my computer. If I make the page, I'll make sure I have the accent mark.) Anyway, she doesn't have a page for her book. I mean, she has a summary, but I have the book, and want to make a chapter-by-chapter thing. Or her own page for her book. So, 1. Do you think this is a good idea? 2. What should the title be? 3. Can I do this with the other girls? Thanks!
 * Every book should have its own page. --Nethilia 02:08, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, also, I saw that you took off the page count and retail cost on one page. I think that the page-count will help a person to see if the book is in their age range. And, I put the cost on there so if someone likes the book, they'll know how much AG sells it for. Now, I know you can get them on Amazon for $00.01, so I understand why you took it off. I was just wondering. =) Thank you! Mermaidgirl45 22:36, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The page counts and costs are fairly useless for books. Page counts and costs can vary much larger on books than on items. --Nethilia 02:08, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * 'Kay, thanks Nethilia! I'll get started on the Girls of Many Lands book pages, and if I see page count/retail cost I'll take it off. Thanks again! =) Mermaidgirl45 13:15, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Userboxes
Can you please create Template:Userbox? You can see it on the Harry Potter Wiki, but I don't know how to create a template. Hermione524 23:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * What does it do and why is it needed? --Nethilia 00:47, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The userboxes aren't completely needed. They are something that users can put on their userpages to tell people a little bit more about themselves without having all of the text that sometimes might bore people. You can see many many many examples of userboxes on my userpage on the Harry Potter Wiki. They could tell if you support a certain character in the books more than others or whether there is another character in the books that you don't like as much. Hermione524 15:14, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking at the boxes, I'm going to decline this. They are bulky and unneeded. Users can simply type the information wanted on user pages; there is no need for personalized little boxes. --Nethilia 18:12, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

New Books for Historical Characters!
Hey, Nethilia. I was browsing Amazon and found this: "Josefina Just for Fun: The Make-It, Play-It, Solve It Book of Fun!" I looked around and found one for Molly too! The link is here. http://www.amazon.com/Molly-Just-Fun-American-Library/dp/1593695810/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243457635&sr=8-1 I've looked at two different book websites and they both have these on pre-order. Both sites say it ia slated for September 2009. Still, though! =) I think they're making them for all the Historical Characters. I'm not sure - I'm still poking about. Just thought you'd want to know! =) Mermaidgirl45 20:58, 27 May 2009 (UTC) Sorry - They have them for Felicity, Molly, Kit, Julie and Josefina. That's it. =) Mermaidgirl45 20:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC) Also, by the way, I am going to be gone for a week at a camping trip, just so you know. =) I'll be back next Saturday. Have a great day! =) Mermaidgirl45 20:00, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Categories for Outfits
Hey Nethilia! I was making a page for Rebecca's School Outfit and I tried to put it under the School Outfits category. Did you change it to "School Collections" instead? I couldn't find it. =) Also, is the "School Collections" cateogry only for Historical Characters? And, what about the other categories? (i.e. Winter Outfits, Summer Outfits, Meet Outfits, Birthday Outfits, etc.) Thanks!
 * Sorry, Nethilia! That was for books. Sorry, never mind... Mermaidgirl45 17:13, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, for the List of American Girl Outfits, we agreed we could just use the category page. Is it possible to group it differently? Because, while the List of American Girl Outfits page was redundant, Category:Outfits isn't really an article and the outfits are everywhere. Does it automatically go in alphabetical order or can we group it by line and character? Just wondering... =) Thanks! Mermaidgirl45 15:59, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Redirects - HELP!
Hey Nethilia. I'm been working on Cécile: Gates of Gold. (By the way, I left a message for you on the talk page about the summaries.) The "é" in her name isn't not on American keyboards. I tried to do a redirect so you can get to the page without the acent mark, and for Cécile Revel as well, but the redirects won't work. Do you know why? Thanks so much! Mermaidgirl45 22:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Why do you keep deleting my edits?
see above... --Puppers37 23:25, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Puppers37


 * The nature of a Wiki is that edits can be reverted, removed, edited, or cut altogether. If an edit or contributions are removed, there's probably a good reason for it. Be a Big Girl. --Nethilia 23:36, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Just for Fun Books
Hey Nethilia! Remember the Just for Fun books I found on pre-order on Amazon and that other book store? I found an image of Rebecca's!

http://www.agplaythings.com/Historicals/Rebecca/Rebecca1914.html

You have to scroll down to the very bottom. It's spiral bound. =) Just thought you'd like to see them. Mermaidgirl45 12:33, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Alternate Names for Outfits
Hi Nethilia! I was going to creat a page for Julie's Hoops Outfit, and call it that, but I see "Hoops Outfit and Accessories" everywhere else. Julie is pretty recent, so I'm not sure if they actually changed the name, or what, but, anyway, should I call it "Julie's Hoops Outfit" or "Hoops Outfit and Accessories?" Thanks so much! Mermaidgirl45 19:21, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hoops Outfit and Accessories was the first name. I think. Do it that way and I can move it if I find something else. --Nethilia 06:19, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Oops! Duplicate Page!
Nethilia, help! I went to Special Pages and clicked Wanted Pages to create a new article. I saw Kirsten's Promise and made a page for it, but there is already one there. We have two Kirsten's Promise. I'm not quite sure what to do... I know the page is updated every now and then, so I should have checked. I guess I assumed that if a page was already made, it would take me to that page, and wouldn't allow me to create a duplicate. Anyway, I'll check the pages from now on. =) Mermaidgirl45 20:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's probably a matter of comma error. I'll fix it. ETA: Fixed. --Nethilia 06:19, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Reviews on American Girl
Hi Nethilia! You know the feature on the American Girl website where you can write/read reviews? Should we take these into consideration while writing articles? For example, Julie's Pajamas. 90% of the reviews said that the pajamas for girls will "pill" when washed and aren't very washable. Should this be noted on the article? And, how do we tell if the information is reliable? Thanks! Mermaidgirl45 20:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The reviews aren't important. We can ignore them. --Nethilia 03:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Category Web - Important!
Nethilia - How are the categories connected? Should they be in like an outline, clean cut, with subcategories being the sole way to get to other categories? Or should they just be all interconnected so a reader or user can see everything all laid out but its really complicated? I'm not sure... I'm making a category web, so, if its like an outline everything works without really interconnecting. I'm not sure - I won't do anything dramatic without your consent. I promise. =) Mermaidgirl45 23:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The catergories don't need to be sub-catergorized; don't bother with them for now. --Nethilia 03:02, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

List of Outfits
Hi Nethilia! I was thinking... I've been working off the List of American Girl of Today and Just Like You Outfits to make outfit articles. Can I do a page like "List of Historical Character Outfits" and "List of Girls of the Year Outfits?" The page doesn't sort by character and it doesn't show all the outfits because all of the pages aren't created yet. And it doesn't show what outfits are retired... I'm not challenging your decision or authority, but I thought if we have one for the JLY line, should we have one for the Historical Characters and GotY. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this. Thank you! =) Mermaidgirl45 20:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It really seems extraordinarily meta and unneeded. The List for AGoT/JLY Just is because those are all for the one series of dolls; doing one for thh Girls of the Year and the Historicals just adds to the list count when those are already on lists. I really think it's best to cut down on lists that are better done with categories. It doesn't really matter they're not grouped by character. --Nethilia 05:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * All right, Nethilia. I think I'll go to each Historical's collection page, and just make all the outfit articles on that, and then the category will fill. I think that will work... Sorry - I'm an absolute perfectionist... As you already know. =D I understand now why the JLY's got one - and it does make sense. Thanks for clearing that up! =) Mermaidgirl45 14:49, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Spelling
I've noticed there are quite a few words on the site that are spelled British style (ie. theatre, rumour, etc.). Should words on the wiki be spelled American style (theater, rumor, etc.) or just left alone?

I know it's probably not a big issue compared to creating new pages or adding chapter summaries, but I think consistent spelling would make the wiki look a bit tidier. AkaiKaze 07:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think we should go with American spelling for consistency. --Nethilia 19:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the edit to your talk page, Nethilia, but I did not want my question to be lost in the vandalism. AkaiKaze 19:24, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. --Nethilia 19:26, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Question about a block
About this block, what is the evidence that Eulalia459678 is abusing multiple accounts? --JWSchmidt 21:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Block of Eulalia459678
You blocked Eulalia for vandalism earlier, but he's a former helper, and this edit was blatantly anti-vandalism. If you would mind unblocking him, we'd appreciate it. --^yamakiri 21:46, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I will go ahead and do this. I've been a little freaked out by these multiple vandalisms. --Nethilia 21:49, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi :)
Hi Nethilia, sorry about the mixup :)-- Austin (Talk) 21:57, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I apologize profusely for banning you. I'm just about tearing my hair out at this mess of spam. --Nethilia 21:59, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, it's fine ^^. If the vandalism continues, poke a staff member (either with Special:Contact or going to the Wikia irc channel and looking for active staff. Anyways, good luck :)-- Austin (Talk) 22:15, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
