−
: A recent new user was banned indefinitely for massively spamming a link to an offsite page that had nothing to do with the Wiki project or information about the brand; it was clear the account was created for the sole purpose of spamming a link repeatedly to an offside petition.
  
   
  +
:* ''[[Maryellen: The One and Only]]''
−
: The Administration--that's me, AkaiKaze, and Blakegripling ph--would like to remind all users that personal offsite links (including but not limited to personal blogs, petitions, Youtube channels, personal social media, forums, etc.) are limited to a user's personal pages in limited capacity. Article links should only link offsite for factual, informational purposes (such as the link showing a brand of eyes in the Eye Swapping article, the patterns information, an author's personal website on their article, or real-world examples of accessories) and will be vetted for relevance and removed if irrelevant.

:: [[Melody]]:
−
: Offsite links do not include sites such as Wikipedia--which is integrated into Wikia code and used as an additional cross-informational resource--Amazon or other retailers in news and informational links, news articles, or the American Girl direct social media sites for informational/confirmation purposes. However, do not link to the main site for most things such as games, product data, or informational data unless it is reliably liable to remain (such as the Archives). The AG website updates regularly and old data is removed frequently. (After all, the site has been up since 2000. It's gone through thousands of changes and removals, from games to characters to items.) It's the admin's call on what constitutes an unvetted off site spam link, and our word is final.
  
   
  +
:* ''[[Melody: No Ordinary Sound]]''
−
: Any personal, unvetted, offsite links spammed or linked in articles that show blatant disregard for the purposes of the Wiki--as the spammer did--will result in blocks, up to and including a full ban. I normally wouldn't say anything about it because it's just drawing attention to bad behavior, but after reverting well over a hundred different articles that were spammed/damaged with this petition, I believe said spammer should be ashamed of themselves for their actions and wasting time and resources. They should have known better. Don't Do What Danny Banned Does.

−  
−
: I've seen it too many times in too short a time recently that people are miscoding internal article links. When you're linking to another article, wiki internal article link code should be used. The

: They are coded ''<nowiki>[[Article Title|linked like this]]</nowiki>'' (wikicode),

−  
−
: Double Brackets. Vertical line to make the change to text if needed. ''Not'' the entire URL in the browser window. Only use the off wiki link code for links that ''go off the Wiki.'' (Wikipedia refs are done using ''<nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Article name on Wikipedia|text goes here]]</nowiki>''.)
 
−  
−
: There will be three day blocks if this is done by anyone. The [[{{SITENAME}}:Sandbox|Sandbox]] is there to see how codes are used before edits are done, and I just added info about coding link. Editor time is wasted fixing this repeatedly. Consider this the official warning.

: The admins understand the excitement over the new Girl of the Year, and articles have already started to be rolled out; we will post about all that is available on January 1st. However, no articles should be attempted fully until release, and we require high quality descriptions and discussions.

−
: It's the time of year where rumors about new products, especially new Girls of the Year, start leaking. And it's that time where people might be tempted to post unconfirmed details on characters that might be coming out. So the Administration is taking this moment to reiterate the [[{{SITENAME}}:Rumors, Leaks, and Hearsay|policies against rumors, leaks, and hearsay]].
  
   
  +
: A new overhaul of the AG Rewards program launches today. The most prominent change is that each tier is reached by dollar amounts spent annually, not points accumulated per year.
−
: American Girl is an active business with constant new items. There are regular releases, re-releases, new items, new characters, new books, and/or new details. This means that leaks happen often, especially when people obtain items early or off online auctions from secondhand sources. However, we here at the A*G Wiki has made it our policy to '''not''' allow any information on any topic from any non-legitimate sources. The only information we accept are from sources that can be verified.
  
   
  +
: Furthermore, each reward level will have its own unique annual reward certificate gift. Berry level members also will not have points expire as long as the level is maintained.
−
: Images, names, and descriptions of characters and products found through searches across the internet--even if they are likely legitimate direct stock images--that are posted by anyone other than AG or press releases by AG ''are not verified.'' Until AG themselves release the images or names, they are not verified. We here at the A*G Wiki respect the [[American Girl|company]] enough not to show images or start articles about characters that they haven't openly released yet.
 
   
  +
: Until July 31st, the first purchase under the new rewards system will earn two times points on current levels.
−
: Violate this rule even once and you'll have a six-month block the first time. We're not going to play nice. Be patient or we'll make you be patient.

October 22, 2019 / American Girl at Costco 2019
The following sets are available at Costco warehouse stores for the holiday season:
  • American Girl Doll Bundles for $119.99 (savings are calculated on new cost of dolls at $98):
  • Bitty Baby sets: a Bitty Baby doll (Dark Skin, Black Hair, Brown Eyes; Light Skin, Blond Hair, Blue Eyes; or Light Skin, Dark Brown Hair, Brown Eyes), two cloth diapers, print sleeper, diaper bag, Pink Top, Purple leggings, Purple shoes, cloth headband, and baby bottle for $79.99.
  • WellieWishers sets: Any of the five characters, a fox-style sleeping bag, a unique set of fox pajamas, popcorn bowl and cups, and the Flutter Wings Doll Carrier for $99.99.
  • Truly Me Desk and School Set: Kitten Sweater, Playful Print Skirt, unique plastic headband, unique blue flats, unique denim backpack, unique version of the Flip-Top Desk (with chair), folder, two pencils, three sheets of lined notebook paper, two sheets of graph paper, protractor, two calendars, and times-tables sheet for $69.99.
  • Historical Characters Book + Journal sets: Bundles of the newly released abridged Central Series books and an Activity Journal (the same for all characters) for $14.99.
October 1, 2019 / The New Fall and Winter Release
A lot of new items have released for American Girl across almost every line, and several changes have been implemented for purchasing.
One of the biggest changes is that the prices of dolls have dropped across the board. All 18" dolls are now $98. Truly Me dolls now come with the book Friends: Making Them and Keeping Them.
Furthermore, the Historical Characters have shed the BeForever branding. The new books for the first six characters to be revamped--Kaya, Rebecca, Nanea, Maryellen, Melody, and Julie--have illustrations (returned for Rebecca and Kaya, updated for Julie, and new for Melody, Maryellen, and Nanea) but are now abridged. Please see each book's article for details on what had been added or removed. Also, all pets have been revamped and now have button eyes.
A new gift option is available: the customized gift experience. With this a doll is selected--using a quiz about the recipient that narrows down options, but any doll may be ultimately selected--and then a Starter set or Gift Trunk may be purchased of varying cost.
The Starter Set includes the following:
  • Choice of doll
  • One book related to doll
  • Choice of one play pack
  • Personalized letter to gift recipient with envelope
  • Optional free Ear Piercing
  • Added on Hearing Aids
  • $5.00 AG Rewards certificate for future order for Rewards members

The Gift Trunk includes the following:

  • Choice of doll
  • One book related to doll
  • Choice of two play packs
  • Personalized letter to gift recipient with envelope
  • Optional free Ear Piercing
  • Added on Hearing Aids
  • Premium storage container
  • First-year wellness visit through American Girl Hospital
  • $10.00 AG Rewards certificate for future order for Rewards members
Both options come with free shipping and handling. Non-members must sign up within three days of purchase to be eligible for the Rewards Certificate.
On to the new things.
For Historical Characters:
Nanea:
Maryellen:
Melody:
Julie:
Kaya:
Rebecca:
For Truly Me:
Smart Girl's Guide Kits (these come with the book, items and a choice of one of six modern-dressed mini dolls):
