[[File:DisneyCollection-Promo.png|thumb|300px|right|A dream is a wish your heart makes...]]&lt;br /&gt;
: American Girl has released a second collaboration with [[The Walt Disney Company]] focused on the Disney Princess line, [[AG x Disney]], also known as the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Disney Princess Collection.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; This release is based on three other iconic Disney Princesses--Tiana, Cinderella, and Ariel. Unlike the last collaboration, this one is not limited edition and has no collaboration with Swarovski.

Dolls are of slightly higher cost at $125. &lt;br /&gt;

; March 26, 2024 / Special Image Cases - Header Images for Modern Dolls&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Everyone loves new policies, especially when it comes to [[American Girl Wiki:Good Article Images and You!|Image Quality]] standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Header images for modern dolls that retired before the wiki started in 2008 are hard to get official good header images for--these are the first edition of [[Just Like You 6]], [[Just Like You 9]], [[Just Like You 10]], the first edition of [[Just Like You 19]] with grey eyes, and [[Just Like You 20]]. Several of these dolls retired before even the American Girl website offered a proper showcase of dolls. Other than scanning and cleaning up older catalogs to try and get excellent pictures, the reliance has been on personal images to showcase these dolls (and catalog shots if we can find them at all). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: But not only are these images on the main article page for each doll, but several are present on the [[Visual Chart of Truly Me Dolls (1995-2022)|Visual Chart of Truly Me Dolls]] that shows all the dolls in numerical order in their last availability. Images were donated from users over the years and have been long standing, because they&amp;#039;re good at what they do. But many editors--in good faith mind, but still wrong--have tried to replace these pictures and have not upgraded the quality of them in the process. Furthermore, we&amp;#039;ve had issues with people uploading the photoshopped examples from AG Playthings&amp;#039; site; these are these very recognizable because the dolls never came in the [[I Like Your Style Outfit]] as a meet set and are theft from the site. If they get uploaded, Admin knows &amp;#039;&amp;#039;exactly&amp;#039;&amp;#039; where they came from, and not a single one of them are real. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Since these header images have to represent these dolls for anyone researching them here, they need to stand out to a level not required of many others. They [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page have to be the very best, like no one ever was]. So we&amp;#039;ve implemented new policy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As of 2024, policy for these particular doll pages is that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;all images of these dolls must be approved by admin before being placed on the page.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; They can be uploaded, but editors will need to contact admin through their talk page for approval of the image being placed on the page. Admin can give feedback, but the decision to change the image lies in admin&amp;#039;s hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unless a new personal picture for these dolls is enough of a high quality upgrade--which means it needs to meet &amp;#039;&amp;#039;all&amp;#039;&amp;#039; qualifications for a picture as stated on the [[American Girl Wiki:Good Article Images and You!|Image Policy page]]--it likely won&amp;#039;t be given approval. Nor will it be if it&amp;#039;s merely a switch to an image by the uploader because it&amp;#039;s one they took and they really want it here. Consider what [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/HowToPickAGoodImage TV Tropes does] for good images--new images have to be chosen by committee to replace what&amp;#039;s standing there, and just &amp;quot;but I&amp;#039;d like mine there&amp;quot; isn&amp;#039;t good enough of a reason. They have an entire flowchart and a dedicated forum for it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Pictures of these particular dolls, if uploaded and added without approval to the page under any circumstances--especially if it replaces the current header or is done as a new version of file--will be immediately removed and the user informed of their violation, with continued violations resulting in blocks. Uploads of the photo-edited versions of these dolls from Playthings will result in an immediate two-week ban from the first violation. Any attempts to photo edit the doll images to place them in meet outfits they were not available in will be immediately removed. We don&amp;#039;t need your attempts at digital manipulation--we want real pictures. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Frankly, there have been too many low quality and unapproved images over the years and I and other admins have had to do multiple reverts for poor images and copyright violation issues. I for one would like to have to stop doing that. &lt;br /&gt;

: The book cover for the 2025 [[Girl of the Year]] has been listed on [https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Novel-American-Girl%C2%AE-YearTM/dp/1683372336/ Amazon] along with more details about Melody&amp;#039;s diary.

: As per our stance when data starts to emerge, since we don&amp;#039;t have more data than what&amp;#039;s presented we aren&amp;#039;t posting it.

Here we wait until American Girl, or an official or reliable source, provides official information. A new character release has all related high traffic pages protected to prevent bad faith, &amp;quot;first with information&amp;quot; edits, and shoddy data. Once the articles are open to all editors, the AG Wiki still expect users to comply with the site&amp;#039;s [[{{SITENAME}}:Article Creation|Article Creation, Editing Guidelines, and Style Guide]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
