Petal Pink Outfit 2001/2010 confusion
Nethilia, the Petal Pink Outfit currently at AG's official site has the same name as the Petal Pink Outfit that was released back in 2001. I'm not sure if a disambiguation page may be needed to differentiate the two releases. --AkaiKaze 19:40, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * ....damn it, AG. I'll make a distinction. --Nethilia 19:52, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Kirsten's archival
It looks like Kirsten's entire collection's been retired, neither she nor any related items (minus her books) show up in AG's shop. The AG Archives mentions a 2010 archival. Maybe another doll or item should be the Hot Topic on the wiki's front page? --AkaiKaze 21:14, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and swapped it to Lanie, since she is the new hotness. --Nethilia 22:38, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Basketball outfit II
I was trying to find out about the basketball outfit II, but when I looked here, all that was there was a picture! Has that been fixed?--75.42.234.161 17:43, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Aunt Millie and Will's portraits
I've added a better version of Aunt Millie's portrait, will the original portrait still be needed?

Also, the same with Will's portraits:, which I uploaded, and the original version --AkaiKaze 03:04, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've deleted the previous images with housekeeping. Thanks! --Nethilia 07:42, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Lawn Party Outfit title confusion
Should the Samantha's Lawn Party Outfit article be retitled, or the Lawn Party Outfit link redirected to the article? I'm really sorry for making such a really dumb mistake during the article's creation. :( --AkaiKaze 06:23, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I moved it. It happens. --Nethilia 06:16, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, I am trying to view many pages (examples in JLY furniture) and they all say they have been deleted. Why are they being deleted? I would still love to see those pages. Thanks, Aimee

Denim Jumper Outfit confusion
I've been going through the AGoT/Just Like You list and one thing I've noticed is that there are two Denim Jumper Outfits -- one for the AGoT/JLY line released in 2001, and one for the Bitty Twins line released in 2006. There's no article for the AGoT/JLY version of the Denim Jumper Outfit. Maybe a disambiguation page might be needed?

Here's the I uploaded. It hasn't been added to anything, only categorized under Just Like You. --AkaiKaze 08:08, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've moved the Bitty Twin version to a different heading and will do a disambi page later. Thanks for all your hard work here, especially the pics being uploaded! I do appreciate it! --Nethilia 16:56, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

American Girl Denver -- Place or Store?
Is American Girl Denver really an American Girl Place or more Boutique and Bistro? I'm inclined to think Denver is a Boutique and Bistro, not an AG Place. Denver doesn't have a photo studio, private dining, party room, or special/group packages -- features the Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles stores have. The site doesn't list Denver as "American Girl Place Denver", just "American Girl Denver" (not unlike "American Girl Place Chicago", "New York", "Los Angeles").

Additionally, looking at Mattel's career page for Denver, it's listed as an American Girl Store, the same classification for Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, and Minneapolis. --AkaiKaze 07:26, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Most likely. I think AG is pulling away from the Store concept and aiming for boutiques more. --Nethilia 07:29, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * If that's the case, maybe the article should be edited to accurately reflect AG Denver's status as a Boutique, not a Place. Should the front page be edited as well? Denver is still listed there as an AG Place. --AkaiKaze 07:32, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've fixed the article--can you do the front page? --Nethilia 07:37, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's now fixed. --AkaiKaze 07:41, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Duplicate articles
There seems to be duplicate articles for one of the JLY outfits: the Birthday Girl Dress and the Birthday Girl Outfit. Should one of the names be redirected to an article, or a disambig page created? --AkaiKaze 22:28, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect the outfit one. It's just a duplicate. --Nethilia 08:25, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect is now in effect. --AkaiKaze 19:00, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you! Moomin4 04:51, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm....sorry? Is there a particular reason this is on my user page? --Nethilia 06:04, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

New dolls and renames
Looking at the newly renamed My American Girl (previously Just Like You), it seems there are new dolls. However, I'm not particularly good at telling if there are actually new dolls or just previous dolls photographed differently.

Also, since Just Like You is now My American Girl, should "American Girl of Today and Just Like You" remain in the "List of..." article listings? It seems rather unwieldy to call it "List of American Girl of Today, Just Like You, and My American Girl Outfits/Accessories/Furniture". --AkaiKaze 18:23, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think there are any new girls. As for the article names, I think we've reached the point of making redirect for the old names to the new. Nethilia 04:23, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * And yes, this means redirecting the doll pages too. Nethilia 04:29, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Sponsored links
Hi Nethilia. The Sponsored Links section is a new and experimental part of the Wikia adverts and Martine is a Wikia helper working on testing it out. One of the things she is doing is trying different wording, to see if that makes the section more likely to be used. This isn't going to be part of the MediaWiki messaging system in the future (just as other adverts aren't) but it's still in the testing stage right now. I've put Martine's test back, and removed the block. Sorry for the confusion! -- sannse (help forum | blog) 16:36, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'm sorry! I had no idea. I'm so very sorry for that, it just looked like spam. My most sincere apologies. --Nethilia 17:41, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Mainpage/skin update
Hello there- I work for Wikia Inc., and I've been asked to update the look of this wiki. You have an amazing community here, and 1500+ articles, which is impressive to say the least! :) Let me know if you have any comments or concerns about the new look, hopefully it will be a refreshing change from the preset skin that was up before.

Cheers! http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/SCOTIMUS76/VA3.png† 11:45, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

I do like the color scheme! Thank you! It does seem a bit narrow, though. Can that be tweaked a little? --Nethilia 04:17, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I second the decision to widen the layout a bit -- it's messing up the doll chart in the My American Girl page as well as all the My AG doll pages. --AkaiKaze 00:07, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Help!!!
I keep leaving edits and AkaiKaze keeps deleting them,and all of the edits I make are all true!Please help me!I don't feel welcomed on here. --This unsigned comment was made by IP Address 173.60.78.170 on 21:55, 10 October 2010.


 * First of all, sign my page. Second of all, if your edits keep getting deleted, go see why they are being deleted. Don't go running to one admin tattling on another. This isn't second grade. Nethilia 06:05, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

I KNOW
Ok,first of all AkaiKaze doesn't tell me why she deleted them.She just DELETES!!!!!And I know this isn't second grade!!!!!!--This unsigned comment was made by IP Address 74.100.74.56 on 13:31, 11 October 2010.

O.K....I get it now,but I don't wanna be treated like I'm 5!!!!Thanks for the tip.74.100.74.56 21:00, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

@User:Nethila ,

You should'nt make strict rules for your wiki "clique".

Why???
Why did you delete my edit on Molly McIntire?74.100.73.23 04:03, October 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I typed it out on the other admin's Talk Page. Go read it. --Nethilia 04:05, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok....sorry about that!Ok I went to read it and I saw it,did you also type it about Chrissa and Samantha cause you deleted those too.74.100.73.23 04:11, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Nooooo!!!!!
YOU DELETED EVERYTHING THAT I EDITED!!!!!!74.100.73.23 04:13, October 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * This was unnecessary and immature. Take two weeks to cool your nerves. --Nethilia 05:25, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Thats not necessary
Thats not necessary,I don't need to take 2 weeks OFF!!!!!Can you just please stop getting mad at me for nothing. Thank you!74.111.206.155 23:24, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Stop acting like a child, and Nethilia and I will stop treating you like a child. Learn to read the rules, and learn to read what's acceptable and unacceptable for this wiki. Until then, take a three-month timeout. --AkaiKaze 01:32, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thank You very much!
Thank You very much guys for unblocking me,although I don't see why I was blocked!But anyways to stay out of trouble(like getting blocked)I might just go find another wiki to edit.And I hope that their not so strict.I apologize for all the inconvenience I have brought to this wiki.I left a sorry note on AkaiKaze' talk page a couple days ago before I got blocked and I guess no one saw it.Anyways if you guys don't mind I'm gonna say something...ok,I just wanted to let you guys know that if you guys keep being so strict to people pretty soon no ones gonna wanna come on here anymore,and I'm not trying to sound like your momma or something I'm just trying to keep you guys away from that.Once again I am sorry for my additude lately,and Thank You for unblocking!71.254.157.27 17:59, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah they are pretty strict about editing! Good thing I never edit on here, otherwise I would be getting yelled at. --This unsigned comment was made by IP Address 75.69.5.232 at 09:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I fail to see what this has to do with anything. --Nethilia 11:08, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Yup!!
Yeah,I know....way too strict.Hey Nethilia,it has everything to do about it.I'm saying thank you for unblocking me.Anyways where are the rules for this wiki,I can't find it!71.165.78.70 17:29, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * The link to the rules can be found on the front page of this wiki. Or here. I strongly suggest you read that before you start making any edits to any existing pages, and if you feel you cannot abide by the rules for whatever reasons, then perhaps editing for this wiki is not meant for you. --AkaiKaze 17:57, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * My page is not for your conversations or your useless thank yous. I don't care. Since you seem to not understand much about rules or how to edit on a wiki, take time to read the rules or consider yourself removed. You haven't been unblocked, by and by. You have a rotating IP address. --Nethilia 20:38, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

You know,all I said was "Thank You," and here you are getting mad at me and then ending up blocking me!I'm not getting mad or anything,I'm just letting YOU know why you blocked me.You can get mad at me and block me,but I don't really care.I read the rules and I seem to understand it.Some aren't very needed in the rules.I just wanted to let you know.I beg you not to block me because I won't be editing on here for a while.Thank you and this time I hope that you don't block me just for saying "Thank you!"74.100.160.116 02:34, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Oasis skin redesign
I know this has nothing to do with AG, but it does concern the wiki.

Wikia has plans to remove the Monaco skin and replace it with a new skin named Oasis by November 3 -- as far as I'm aware Monobook will still be available. I'm not sure if you've seen the new look when it debuted on October 6 (you may have to log out to see the Oasis look), but I reverted it back to Monaco as soon as I saw it. General consensus on Wikia's general forum and blogs regarding Oasis has been less than enthusiastic, to put things mildly.

I'd play with the Oasis look and see how to best adjust it for this wiki, but I thought you should be the one to set the standards. Wikia's put up a transition guide, but it has not been updated since September 27. --AkaiKaze 18:27, October 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll play with it, and see what can be done. I didn't design the current layout, but I'm sure we can work in the new layout for the most part. Nethilia 21:37, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Victorian?
You deleted a point I made about Samantha Parkington's time and how her books were talking about Victorian America rather than the Victorian Era. Why did you do this?

P.S. Wiki Victorian America. It was an actual time. --This unsigned comment was made by IP Address 24.70.171.4 on 21:00, November 6, 2010


 * The Victorian era was an actual time, yes. It was also named after Queen Victoria, who died in 1901. Sam's books start in 1904. She's Edwardian.


 * Google. It's your friend. --Nethilia 05:13, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

~Sorry to disturb you. I'm new, so I'm not quite sure how things work. Nethalia (Hi by the way :D) Victorian America was more of an off-shoot to the real Victorian Era. America wasn't ruled by Queen Victoria because they had a president. I don't want to sound rude, but I do agree with this person when I say Google up Victorian America. You'll see for youself that it's different in a way. Again I'm SO sorry if I'm being rude D: If you must punish me, I understand-- Jenny_006


 * The attitudes demonstrated by Samantha's books and the turn of the Century in the US are clearly closer to Edwardian with notions of progress and moving class lines. While not directly ruled by a queen (Really, have you checked my age? Like I don't know the US was run by a president?) to call the era Victorian is more wrong than calling it Edwardian. I've not only Googled it, I've studied it in college. --Nethilia 05:50, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

~Still, technically in America she was considered a Victorian. Edwardians were more British than Americans, and I doubt AG is in-accurate when it comes to Samantha. This was probably (can be wrong) the last time England has influenced America since the Colonial days. But potato tomato-- Jenny_006

~ One last thing: Also consider Samantha's time. Her time begins at 1904, yet Victorian America ended in 1910. This can be why she's technically some kind of Victorian. The attitudes can be Edwardian, but the real time in America there was Victorian, which was why Samantha was created with a Victorian style. Just another thing--- Jenny_006


 * AG has been wrong on a number of things. --Nethilia 08:25, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

~ Yes they are. But I'm afraid you're quite wrong here. Just because England had a Victorian Era doesn't mean the whole WORLD was Victorian as well. I found this on wiki:

"While the Victorian Era is a name for the period from 1837 to 1901 in the United Kingdom, American Victorianism was an offshoot of this period and lifestyle that occurred in the United States, chiefly in heavily populated regions such as New England and the Deep South from roughly 1875 to 1910 after the Civil War. The name was derived from the reign of Queen Victoria, which reflected the heavy British cultural influence on the nation during the time. As American business people of the Second Industrial Revolution created sprawling industrial towns and cities in the Northeast, the growing upper class of the Gilded Age mimicked the high society of their former mother country in dress, morality, and mannerisms. The period included various activities—the Second Industrial Revolution, the Women's suffrage movement, and Republican political domination"

As you can see/read, these two era are similar but were not the SAME THING. I'm not in college yet, but even I know the difference with these two Victorian times.Jenny_006

P.S. Sorry if I enraged you in anyway.
 * I am not sure what Nethilia's views on Wikipedia are, but my view is that one should not cite Wikipedia in one's research because Wikipedia itself can be inaccurate as well. It is a wiki, which means people can come in and edit/vandalize as they please, and wikis are only as good as the people who work on them. I believe if a non-Wikipedia link can be used as a reference, it should be used in lieu of links to Wikipedia - Wikipedia links in the AG wiki's articles are meant to be general sources to people who may be unfamiliar either with terminology or items used in the stories and among AG's products.


 * As to whether or not Samantha's time period is Victorian/Edwardian, bear in mind there has always been an overlap between eras. However, as pointed out, the general attitudes, fashions, and social issues of the 1900s points Samantha's time more as Edwardian than Victorian. It can only be presumed that AG refers to Samantha's time period as Victorian for marketing purposes rather than historical accuracy. --AkaiKaze 07:15, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * ~This has GOT to stop 0_o Yes I'm not a member, but even I know how wrong    you guys are. For one thing, this is American Girl. American. This is about AMERICAN history, so why bring England in this? Edwardians have no connection with Victorian America. Edwardians were subjects of King Edward. So HOW ON EARTH does America get into this? WHY are Americans Edwardian? They're not. Victorian America, as quoted by the other girl, was a knock-off of England's Victoria and Edwardian era. Yes they overlap, but they are in different countries . As for "the turn of the century", that was just the 1890s and 1900s. The overall time was VICTORIAN AMERICA.
 * I don't care how much you "studied" this; if you acutally think Americans were ever Edwardians, then you were NOT paying attention! Whoever the other girl knows what she's talking about. My advice: Go Goggle this timew period yourself, or get a book, and then TELL ME what it says. AG knows what they're talking about when it comes to history. I would also like to know how AMERICANS suddenly became EDWARDIANS.

Heads up: Confirmation of a New Historical on the way
http://www.americangirl.com/cruise/

On the official American Girl cruise website, look to the right. Press "the American Girl cruise events". There is an event called "New Historical Character Event". Just a heads-up and confirmation that it's not just a rumor anymore that there will be a new historical character. She will more than likely have a six-book series as they mention it in the events. She seems to be due out at least by November, if not much sooner.

Also, there is a revamp in American Girl mini dolls in American Girl catalog. Samantha and Felicity have already been confirmed as being released in their holiday outfits. Samantha in January and Felicity in February. It was in the latest catalog.
