Aside from Cécile and Marie-Grace's collections now available for purchase, the other product lines have received new outfits and items, including a new pet, Toasty, and two new dolls, Just Like You 56 and Just Like You 57, for the My AG line.
It still disturbs me that for a wiki revolving around not just around dolls but also books, a fair number of users seem to have a distinct inability to use a skill I like to call "reading comprehension" despite the numerous warnings posted below this most recent one, judging from the number of users blocked this entire month. Honestly, take the time to read the rules and policies, and if it's your first time here and you've never edited a wiki before, use the sandbox to practice. I'd hate to have to use the banhammer just because someone chose to disregard and not read the rules first, or worse, having to use the banhammer on repeat offenders who failed to learn from the consequences of previous bans.
August 18, 2011 / Marie-Grace and Cécile book previews on Amazon
Amazon has begun posting previews for Marie-Grace and Cécile's books, so far only Cécile's books and Marie-Grace Makes a Difference have sneak peeks. There is also a contest on Barnes and Noble to win both dolls and meet books; entrants must be 18 or older and the contest ends October 1.
In case anyone is new to the wiki, be sure to read the Spoiler Policy as the admins are not responsible for ruining your excitement. It need not be said any foolishness or mischief will not be tolerated.
And an American Girl First--if you preorder either of them, they will come with a bonus--an extra booklet.
We may all be excited, but the rules certainly apply more now than they ever did. Any poorly done pages will be immediately deleted without any ceremony. I'm not playing around.
The author is Mary Casanova, who has written a variety of AG books, including Chrissa's and Jess's books, as well Cécile: Gates of Gold from the Girls of Many Lands. Sports is mentioned on the book pages, possibly indicating a girl who might be involved in athletics. At this time there is no way to preorder the books via the posted Amazon links, but thebooks can be preordered via Barnes and Noble.
Until there's more information available, please refrain from baseless speculation. --AkaiKaze 06:03, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
August 3, 2011 / There is a palm and it is on my face because I can't take my eyes off this site for five seconds.
It profoundly disturbs me that for a wiki revolving not just around dolls but also books, there seems to be a distinct inability for people to utilize a skill called "reading comprehension". Believe it or not, the wiki DOES have rules and policies that must be adhered to, and the admins will not hesitate to ban (or permaban, for extreme cases) people for failing to follow said rules and policies.
This wiki is intended to be a serious project, and if you can't Be a Big Girl and behave yourself, then perhaps wiki-editing isn't for you. If you see a mistake, fix it and move on, if someone comes in and edits anything you've written, don't throw a tantrum, or start an edit war, or go crying from one admin to the other about how mean we're being to you, and if things need to be discussed or debated, that's what talk pages are for.
Given that the two newest Historical characters, Marie-Grace and Cécile, will be arriving soon, along with any possible news or information about Girl of the Year 2012, and while we're all excited for their arrivals, the admins will not tolerate any foolishness and nonsense such as poorly made articles, vandalism, or baseless speculation. Since the wiki is a spoiler heavy zone, please read and familiarize yourself with the Spoiler Policy as the admins are not responsible for ruining your excitement.
Kanani Akina is the Girl of the Year for 2011! She is multiracial--Hawai'ian, Japanese, French, and German--and from Kaua'i, the geologically oldest island of Hawai'i.
