-: A new year doesn't mean leaving behind the old policies! Be sure to take a moment and read the various rules and guidelines of the wiki.
-; January 4, 2012 / Appropriate Descriptions Had Better Be Appropriate!
-: As it clearly states on the [[American Girl Dolls Wiki:Article Creation#Basic Rules|Basic rules]], articles and descriptions of items need to be thorough. They should never consist of one or two short lines, a short list of items, or only two or three sentences . "[[Juan Montoya|Juan is Ana's son]]", "[[Earth Day Outfit|shirt and overalls and sandals and hairclip]]" or "[[Evergreen Velvet Dress|Molly's green dress with white ribbons]]" is ''not'' an article anymore than "the dress is blue" is. Additionally, "[[McKenna's Practice Wardrobe#Tee|White shirt with logo]]" is generally '''''not a description'''''.  We ask for elaborate descriptions; a good example is [[Two-in-One_Ballerina_Set|here]].
-: I'm going to start coming down with the force of an angry goddess for this violation, because it's of no use to anyone to have to rewrite a description.

-: Articles about Caroline are not to be created until more information - either through AG's site, their official YouTube channel/Facebook page, or even better, an official press release - is available. It is best that things be right the first time, even in light of a new character and doll.
