Revision as of 09:18, 27 August 2013
These are older news articles and information that were originally on the Main Page. News will be removed from the front page after about two months.
2013
January 2013
- January 1, 2013 / Welcome, Saige!
- Saige is officially here! A rundown on her collection as follows:
- The My AG dolls have new stuff:
- The Bitty lines have new stuff as well:
- While it would be easy to let all this newness go to one's head, the rules and policies, while not new, still need to be adhered to. Be sure to read them before jumping in.
- ETA by Nethilia: If you do poor descriptions, you're getting a two-week ban first offense the entire month of January. "purple dress with belt" or "lavender/purple gown with printed flowers" is not a description. If you don't read the rules, you can't contribute. I ain't got time for messy editing. --Neth
- January 31, 2013 / Rules Still Apply About Descriptions
- Just a wonderful little reminder that poor descriptions, opinions, reviews, gibberish, and other such things that aren't facts and contribute eff-all to the articles and project will get the offender blocked for a minimal of two weeks. If you want to babble about how Saige is pretty or how weird the Snowflake PJs are or how much you hate Kristen's bed? Get a Blog or a Tumblr, and don't piss it around here.
- No one's asking for five lines when describing a plain t-shirt, but "pretty blonde hair" or "green sleigh bed" or "this smells" are not descriptions. I really have no flips to give to those that act out.
- --Nethilia is a Meanie Head Admin who Makes You Cry.
February 2013
- Feb 6th, 2013 / AG San Francisco Announcement
- San Francisco will be home to the next American Girl store. American Girl announced on the their official Facebook page that the store location will open by Fall 2013 in the Stanford Shopping Center.
- --Nethilia
- Feb 6th, 2013 / Taking Pictures for Fun and Helpfullness
- See our new article policy: Good Article Images and You! We want good pictures, and good pictures have guidelines. The policy will get fully fleshed out tonight.
- --Nethilia, Admin
- Feb 14th, 2013 / New Stuff
- Caroline and Molly, surprisingly, have new stuff in their lines.
- Garnet
- Caroline's Work Dress
- Molly's Floral Pajamas - marketed as being a limited time offer
- Molly's Bed and Bedding - also marketed as being a limited time offer
- The My AG dolls have new stuff:
- Bitty Baby has new stuff as well:
Let this image serve as a visual warning.
- Last but not least, the Bitty Twins have new items:
- We take a zero-tolerance approach to all sorts of rule-breaking, mischief, and nonsense. If you can't follow the rules, you can't contribute. It's as easy as that.
- Feb 16th, 2013 / Milestone Reached and New Categories
- A major milestone has been passed--every item listed on the list of AGoT/JLY/MyGA outfits has been created! Many don't have pictures, but they are all up. If you'd like to add pictures to articles without them, don't forget to check our article on Good Article Images and You! before adding pictures.
- A new category, Paired Sets, has been created. Recent new categories include Modern Holiday Outfits and Doll Repair and Care.
- --Nethilia, Admin
- Feb 18th, 2013 / Charms Chart
- A Visual Chart of My American Girl Charms has been added, which displays all thirty six charms available with modern outfits since 2010. This will make it easier to explain charms in articles.
- A section on charms is also a new part of the My American Girl main article.
- --Nethilia, Admin
- Feb 22th, 2013 / AGP Exclusives List Up
- The List of American Girl Place Items has finally been created! It's not comprehensive because it may be lacking--items change in and out all the time. Please help add to it if you know something we're missing!
- With these items, there is almost no chance of an official catalog picture, so make sure to add pictures using the data on Good Article Images and You!

May 2013
- May 4th, 2013 / Categorization for Character pages
- To make things organised and a little easier for us to browse through articles of individual characters, users are advised to add the DEFAULTSORT tag at the bottom of each character page, i.e. {{DEFAULTSORT:McIntire, Molly}}
- There are some exceptions to the rule, though, such as names that do not follow regular naming conventions, i.e. Chou Spring Pearl. Oh, and this also applies to real-world articles of people who worked behind-the-scenes at AG, such as Pleasant Rowland, Valerie Tripp and so on.
