; June 14, 2020 / American Girl, the Mattel Play Fair Initiative and the Black Lives Matter Movement
 
   
  +
: A long standing policy has had to be outwardly stated because of people misbehaving: [[{{SITENAME}}:Admin and Templates|Admin and Templates]].
: in the wake of the [https://blacklivesmatter.com/ Black Lives Matter] activity in 2020--a international human rights movement founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's murderer and amplified in 2020 by the death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and the following nation- and worldwide protests--Mattel and its subsidiaries have, like many companies and businesses, spoken out about the movement and recognized their shortcomings in representation and black support in the Mattel Play Fair Initiative. This has been specifically noted in relation to American Girl on their [https://www.instagram.com/p/CBWsFiQjOqT/ Instagram account] and [https://www.facebook.com/americangirl/posts/3107881199255019 Facebook account], as well as on the [https://corporate.mattel.com/news/mattels-statement-on-commitment-to-the-black-community corporate site]. Specifics noted across the company:
 
   
  +
: Templates are backend coding used across the wiki for article layouts, notes at tops and bottoms, quick categories, and a myriad of other needs that make it so information can be put down with short code rather than a full typing of data every time. Editing a template edits it across every article it is on. This makes them highly sensitive and so they are tightly regulated by Admin and Content Moderators only.
* Increasing efforts to build a workforce that reflects the diversity of our community, focusing on the development and recruitment of Black talent.
 
* Investment in the next generation of the Black community with intention, by providing access and opportunities.
 
* Offering products, content and experiences built on the foundation of diversity, ensuring that the stories of the Black community are seen and heard.
 
* Mattel is donating $250,000 to NAACP youth programs and going forward will donate proceeds from future product sales and initiatives of at least $250,000 to fund educational programs focused on supporting Black girls.
 
* Specific to American Girl, representatives have stated that they will not be retiring the [[Addy Walker (doll)|Addy doll]] nor her [[Addy Mold|mold]], both of which have been lessened in promotions and product in recent years.
 
   
  +
: So the policy is short and simple. '''Do not edit templates unless you are admin or content moderator.''' Typos and small mistakes are fine. Any other changes whatsoever are not in the realm to touch or anyone else's call to make. Deleting, editing, modifying, or otherwise messing with any template will result in an ''immediate one month ban'', with subsequent violations escalating up to a permanent ban.

; June 8, 2020 / Changes to the MCM Sale for 2020
 
 
: The Madison Children's Museum has released data via e-mail about the logistics of this year's [[Madison Children's Museum Sale|MCM Sale]], and the changes that are being made due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
 
 
:* The sale will be online only, as was expected.
 
:* Orders can be placed on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26. This is a change from the original July 11-12 dates, to give time to facilitate the online system.
 
:* Access to shopping online will be in the same order and weekend day as ticketed entry times. Quantity limits will be in effect, just as at the physical sale, by ticket. A ticket allows one online purchase of a shopping cart of goods, honoring all quantity limits. A second ticket allows another online purchase, with refreshed quantity limits, and so on.
 
:* As with previous sales, on Sunday there will be additional markdowns and limit changes.
 
:* All orders will be shipped to the purchaser. Curbside pickup options will not be available. Shipping costs will be calculated during checkout and included in the purchase total at the time of checkout. While MCM is negotiating the best possible deals for shipping, buyers should expect shipping charges similar to standard shipping of items through the post office or UPS store.
 
:*MCM has decided that no additional tickets will be offered for this year's benefit sale.
 
:* Dolls and Friends Pajama Party kits will be available in limited quantities. Each kit will include a Bitty Baby doll, special craft project supplies, and an invitation to participate in an exclusive online video party in the fall; exact date(s) will be listed.
 
 
: Due to the multiple logistic changes, MCM for this year is changing the longstanding refund policy and will offer refunds to current ticket holders. Requests for refunds must be made by the 15th of June. Alternatively--since this is a benefit sale for charity--there will also be an option to donate any unneeded ticket(s) to the cause. People may also transfer their tickets to others.
 
 
: Full information can be read online at [https://madisonchildrensmuseum.org/support/american-girl-benefit-sale/ the official website.]

* [[Courtney Moore]]'s 1980s era is about as far away from the 2020s as [[Molly McIntire]]'s 1940s era was to children at the release of the company.
* For years, [[American Girl Magazine]] included [[American Girl Magazine Paper Dolls]] based on real girls who sent in information about their heritage.
 
  +
* [[American Girl Minis]] were diorama style rooms with lighting and electrical components that allowed users to set up elaborate room designs.
* [[Samantha's Velvet Dress]] was released shortly before her first retirement, giving it an availability of only a few months.
 
  +
* Early Historical Character craft kits included cooking recipes--and some components like [[Shrewsbury Cakes Kit|real sugar]] and [[Real Gingerbread House|gingerbread]]!
* [[Kirsten Larson]] had two [[Short Stories]] that were not published outside of American Girl magazine: [[Kirsten and the Thief]] and [[Kirsten's New Teacher]].
 
  +
* Early outfits and accessories for [[American Girl of Today]] covered holidays such as [[Chinese New Year Outfit|Chinese New Year]] and [[Kwanzaa Outfit|Kwanzaa]], not just Christmas.
* Past [[Girls of the Year]] used to have a ''Whole World'' collection, allowing the purchase of the entire collection at once after all components were out.
 
  +
* American Girl published [[List_of_American_Girl_Published_Books#American_Girl_Original_Intermediate_Fiction_Novels|Original Intermediate Fiction Novels]] aimed at an older teenaged audience, such as ''[[The Secret Voice of Gina Zhang]].''
* Molly's Central Series books had the most illustrators overall: [[Chris Payne]] initially did the first three, [[David Gaadt]] did the first version of ''[[Happy Birthday, Molly!]]'', and [[Nick Backes]] did the last two, before he redid the first four.

September 22, 2020 / Scottsdale Location Closed / New Nutcracker Collection Outfits
Nutcracker2020

New LE Nutcracker Sets!

Bad News First: With no prior news, the American Girl Place Scottsdale location has been removed from the list of American Girl Place retail locations. Unlike other locations, it did not reopen after the March shutdowns. The location appears to be permanently closed. ETA: It has been confirmed by American Girl that Scottsdale is now permanently closed.
Good News Second: New outfits for the limited edition Nutcracker collection have released: The Nutcracker Sugar Plum Fairy Outfit and the Nutcracker Mouse King and Land of the Sweets Outfit Set. Early access is limited to AG Rewards members at the Gold and Berry Levels until Sept 28th.

September 21, 2020 / 2X Points With Rewards Certificate

September 19, 2020 / A New Line, and New Characters
Lost in the hoopla of Courtney's release was American Girl's tweet about a new product line featuring a contemporary Black character, as well other contemporary characters of color, to debut in late autumn 2021.
Because sometimes we just can't beat a dead horse enough times, this wiki is a no-speculation zone.

September 15, 2020 / It's Totally Courtney! And Moore!
(I'll make all the bad puns I want.)
American Girl's newest Historical Character, Courtney Moore, was totally worth the wait! She launches as Player One with a dibbly fresh mix and match collection:
To celebrate the launch, American Girl has partnered with Girls Who Code. Through December 31, American Girl will match customer donations of $1, 5, or $ 10 to a maximum of $50,000 to support the organization, including outreach to children from historically underrepresented minority groups. They will also be providing a $5,000 scholarship to four Girls Who Code members to help further their education in computer science or a related field. A second book has been mentioned in press release but has not been titled or revealed yet. (Guess we really are doing it 80s style!)
But that's not all! Newly enrolled AG Rewards Members will earn three times the AG Rewards points on an order from American Girl through September 24, 2020. Through November 30, 2020, purchasers will receive a free limited edition poster of all the available Historical Characters and the most recent three Girls of the Year with any 18" doll purchase.
It's absolutely heinous to put up bad articles. So don't do it. Or I'll unplug the arcade cabinet and you'll lose your quarter.
Nethilia, The Admin, Knows that Sheep are In
September 14, 2020 / Admin and Templates
A long standing policy has had to be outwardly stated because of people misbehaving: Admin and Templates.
Templates are backend coding used across the wiki for article layouts, notes at tops and bottoms, quick categories, and a myriad of other needs that make it so information can be put down with short code rather than a full typing of data every time. Editing a template edits it across every article it is on. This makes them highly sensitive and so they are tightly regulated by Admin and Content Moderators only.
So the policy is short and simple. Do not edit templates unless you are admin or content moderator. Typos and small mistakes are fine. Any other changes whatsoever are not in the realm to touch or anyone else's call to make. Deleting, editing, modifying, or otherwise messing with any template will result in an immediate one month ban, with subsequent violations escalating up to a permanent ban.
