Den of Angels is hosted on a very powerful, dedicated server, but, we still like to keep things tidy, and make it easy to access helpful information. Many areas of DoA - including our Wiki - are available for the public to view. This includes hundreds of members' personal first-hand experience with various dolls, which they share in our company and size-specific discussion threads. Many of these discussion threads are a mix of personal chat, like owners talking about their dolls and sharing a photo, but also information like compatible parts, clothing/shoes that fit, or hybrid information. The personal discussions are probably no longer timely, but there is a lot of helpful factual information that has been spread throughout all of these threads. Many of these threads have been ongoing for many years now, so there is a vast amount of information to be found in them. For example, the Volks large dolls discussion thread has surpassed its 20th iteration! But, only DoA members can use our search function, so non-DoA members would have to sift through years and years-worth of threads and posts in order to find anything helpful to them. For this reason, we would like to distill any and all helpful information from these threads into their company/line's respective Wiki entries. We are asking for anyone who is interested, to volunteer and "adopt" a thread from the To Be Archived area, for transferring information. If you adopt a thread, it would be your job to read through that whole thread, and transpose any useful information to the corresponding entry in DoA's Wiki. After you finish, you would let the moderators know that it was alright to delete the thread. How to adopt a thread: -Look in the To Be Archived area for a thread that you'd like to adopt. Make sure it does not have an [Adopted] note in the title first. -Post a reply here, to post a link to your chosen thread, and say that you are adopting it. Tag a mod, so that we can make a note in the thread's title that it is claimed. (@AirimirOfGondor is very active, so she's a good choice ) -Read through the whole thread, while looking for anything that you think could be helpful to someone else. When you come across something, copy that text into a temporary location and continue on. If using a text-editing software, you can temporarily save your collected information, and take breaks if needed. Or, read through it all in one go! -If you find particularly helpful photos, let the mod team know; we can move posts to appropriate Photo Reference threads so they don't get lost! -Paste your collected information into the correct Wiki entry. Try to keep the same kinds of information grouped together if possible. Most companies have a main Wiki entry, as well as separate entries for different size lines, so double-check that you are putting it into the correct entry. If the correct entry does not exist, you can create one. If you aren't sure of the correct place, or aren't sure of how to create a Wiki entry, feel free to ask for help. -Post another reply in this thread to let us know you have completed the transfer. The mod team will then delete the old thread. Information to look for: You will want to look for any information anyone has shared about the following topics, past or recent--- Where to buy: Is the company website on the Wiki entry? Do they have an official Ebay, Etsy, or Taobao shop? Are there any new dealers that sell the doll? Are there any defunct links on the Wiki entry? Release dates: have there been multiple releases of a particular doll? What options were available - fantasy parts, different resin colors? Other historical references: Does anyone mention specific people involved with the company by name? Any sculptors? Did a sculptor go on to create another doll company of their own? Measurements: Does anyone mention any measurements that are not available on the company page? Have the company-provided measurements been included on the Wiki entry already? If not, you might consider adding them as well. Issues with the doll: Does anyone mentioned any drastic posing problems? Does a particular head sculpt always have weak resin around the eyewells? Is a particular body prone to breaking at the knee, or cracks in the thigh? Hybriding: Has anyone mentioned hybriding possiblities? Any mention of resin match, or compatible parts? Wigs: Has anyone mentioned a particular type of wig that is best for the doll? Any companies that make something that fits particularly well? Eyes: Has anyone mentioned a particular type or material of eye that works better with a particular head? Does a head need low dome eyes or small iris eyes for the best look? Are acrylic eyes the wrong shape for a particular head? Are full-round glass eyes too big to fit in a specific head? Clothes: Has anyone mentioned a particular brand of clothing that works well for a line? Does a specific cut of a shirt not fit over a super-manly chest? Does a specific pair of pants not fit over super-curvy hips? Shoes: Has anyone mentioned shoes that do (or don't!) fit a specific doll line? Maybe a pair of boots looks like it should fit, but the usable inside length is too short? Or maybe the length is great, but they are a little too narrow? Is a certain brand of shoes always too big? Does a particular company make shoes specifically for that line of doll? When choosing what information to take, use your best judgment! Double-check to see if more than one person has verified the same trouble, or if anyone has provided a photo to illustrate, or links to good shopping resources. If you are ever in doubt about what to save, it is probably better to save too much. If something is lost upon deletion, it may be impossible to find again. If you would like to double-check on your information with someone prior to putting it into a Wiki entry, please let the mod team know, and we can have a quick look for you. Thank you to all who might be interested in volunteering! The mod team always has work to do, so we greatly appreciate any further help that would be offered to keep DoA tidy, informative, and easily accessible to everyone! For people who successfully complete transposing information from at least one thread, you will be able to use this snazzy little graphic! You can save it and upload it to your own photo host and use it in your signature if you would like!
>>DoA Wiki<< >>To Be Archived!<< Examples of good overarching company pages: Dollshe - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels Custom House - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels Charles' Creature Cabinet - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels Volks - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels Examples of good specific line pages: Fairyland MiniFee - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels Dream of Teen - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels Examples of good individual releases/dolls: Soom Super Gem Vesuvia - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels EID Leonard - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels Saving helpful photos: If you find a post that contains a helpful photo, the mod team can move those posts to a new permanent home. You can look for photos of hybrids (nude or clothed), a company default faceup, comparisons of one sculpt to another, different resin matches, a doll wearing different-sized eyes, or even a company-specific wig. Then, copy the post's direct URL (found by clicking on the the #number of the post - this will give you a popup with the URL) and paste it into this thread for the mods to handle.
Hi there, I would love to adopt the DiM Mini Discussion Part 4 thread: /threads/dim-doll-in-mind-mini-discussion-part-4.620880/ My favorite company! I would be happy to distill the info! @AirimirOfGondor let me know if this is ok!
I would like to adopt the Narae/Narin 43-44cm thread. /threads/narae-narin-43-44cm-mini-discussion-part-6.618008/ @AirimirOfGondor let me know if this is OK.
@AirimirOfGondor I'd love to help out! Speaking of Volks... I can start with the oldest one I see, the MSD part 1: /threads/vol...-discussion-msd-part-1-ready-for-wiki.203013/
I would like to adopt both /threads/kid-delf-luts-discussion-part-1.239748/ and /threads/be-with-you-28cm-baby-doll.613390/ please! @AirimirOfGondor I'm going to shoot for doing the Luts KD threads in order starting at the beginning. :>
@AirimirOfGondor, I would be happy to adopt the following: /threads/5th-motif-discussion-part-3.691762/ and /threads/dollstown-17-and-18-year-boys-and-girls.423742/ Please let me know if this is acceptable, thank you!
Soom Little Gem Monthly Mini Doll discussion (part 6) /threads/soom-little-gem-monthly-mini-doll-discussion-part-6.667450/ I can take this one
@AirimirOfGondor I'd like to adopt /threads/volks-super-dollfie-cute-discussion-part-1.16778/ if I may!
Looks like the many numbered “Unoa” threads need to stick to a single official naming convention and also be merged in several cases and to be marked “1.0 + 1.5” for clarity, since chibi, 2nd, Ane/Ani, UNOSS, Zero and Rowan (and even 1.0 + 1.5 FP hybrids) each have their own threads? I can start work on those (Unoa 1.0 + 1.5) but please let me know if you want to merge the same-numbered but oddly named ones first? @AirimirOfGondor - I choose you!
@mimimontoya The Unoa Wiki pages are organized a little differently than the threads: Alchemic Labo - Den of Angels BJD Wiki | Den of Angels I believe most of the different lines have their own separate page. If not, they can be created if necessary. Merging the threads now would just make it much longer to get through a thread (and the threads will be removed in the end, so it's not necessary to lump too much together). So, I think it would be easier to just take one thread at a time. If there is slightly misplaced info in there, it can just be put in the appropriate Wiki page. And can you please link which threads you're taking? Since there are so many I want to make sure I'm grabbing the right ones.
Hi there @AirimirOfGondor , if Charles Creature Cabinet information is in fact to be included in the Wiki despite the later sculpts being banned, then I'll handle this one: /threads/charles-creature-cabinet-firefly-faerie-discussion-part-1.281309/
Hi! I would like to adopt the Lillycat thread /threads/lillycat-cerisedolls-discussion.553431/ please. @AirimirOfGondor thanks!
@AirmirOfGondor: I would like to tackle the Impldoll thread: /threads/impl-dolls-star-model-and-idol-discussion-thread-part-10.752680/ If I understand this correctly, this thread and the threads before will be scanned for useful information and then copied into e.g. a Word document? Is that the correct way to do it? If yes, I would be pleased to do this thread, as I have plenty of time at my hands.
Hi! I'd like to adopt /threads/iplehouse-discussion-yid-nyid-sid-eid-part-08.742674/ and/or /threads/iplehouse-jid-mini-discussion-part-18.708449/ Thank you!
@AirimirOfGondor I'd like to adopt the Raccoon Doll threads if I may, since the poor wiki entry is all but empty... Links: (unless I'm only allowed to adopt one thread at a time of course!) Part 1 - /threads/raccoon-doll-discussion.684597/ Part 2 - /threads/raccoon-doll-discussion-part-2.713557/ Part 3 - /threads/raccoon-doll-discussion-part-3.747699/
@AirimirOfGondor Hopefully I tagged you correctly I can adopt this thread: /threads/dear-mine-dear-lover-mini-40cm-discussion-part-1.484105/ I’ll get to sorting information tomorrow
Hi ^^ @AirimirOfGondor I'd like to adopt these two: /threads/resinsoul-and-bobobie-mini-discussion-thread-part-31.712592/ /threads/fairyland-minifee-mnf-discussion-part-61.744634/

I found these Ringdoll threads, needing adoption. I might as well take them all. @AirimirOfGondor /threads/ringdoll-grown-dolls-thread-4.715769/ /threads/ringdoll-grown-dolls-thread-3.691838/ /threads/ringdoll-grown-dolls-thread-2.639840/ /threads/ringdoll-72cm-grown-dolls.407699/
@AirimirOfGondor I would be willing to do all of the Mirodoll threads. I can start with the oldest one and work my way to the present. /threads/mirodoll-formerly-known-as-lost-angel-discussion-thread.282042/ /threads/mirodoll-discussion-part-ii.576525/ /threads/mirodoll-discussion-part-iii.597048/ /threads/mirodoll-discussion-part-iv.646966/ /threads/mirodoll-discussion-part-v.705035/ Is their a deadline to doing these?
@AirimirOfGondor /threads/ado...-discussion-msd-part-1-ready-for-wiki.203013/ is complete! I see @fransyung has adopted the first four, so I'll go ahead and jump on /threads/volks-super-dollfie-sd-sd13-sdgr-sd16-sd17-fcs-part-vi.531982/ (I don't see #5 either?) I've also been doing some restructuring/general work on the Volks pages, so if things are a little messy, I apologize! Working on it.
I'll take the Migi threads and the LLT thread. My other dolls are so obscure, they don't have multiple threads, and I prefer to work with a company I'm familiar with. Thankfully, there are only three Migi and one LLT. /threads/migidoll-general-discussion.212808/ /threads/migidoll-general-discussion-part-ii.495236/ /threads/migidoll-general-discussion-pt-3.591588/ /threads/la-légende-de-temps-the-boys-discussion.439890/ Good thing I like reading through long threads. EDIT: Almost forgot. @AirimirOfGondor
Hi @AirimirOfGondor, I could adopt the Lati Blue thread Maybe I'll even find something new my boy can wear /threads/latidolls-blue-line-part-1.53659/
@AirimirOfGondor I'm finished with this thread /threads/adopted-elfdoll-general-discussion.434445/ There are a few useful comparison photos: Head size comparison /posts/9495967/ Resin color comparison /posts/9314366/ Resin color comparison /posts/9230597/ I'd be happy to take on Efdoll General Discussion part 2! /threads/elfdoll-general-discussion-part-2.560087/ And as long as I'm Elfdolling, I might as well do the two Lovely threads. /threads/elfdoll-mini-lovelydolls-discussion-part-1.189771/ /threads/elfdoll-mini-lovelydolls-discussion-part-2.466955/
I would like to adopt the following thread: /threads/immortality-of-soul-part-vi.705212/ @AirimirOfGondor let me know if that is fine, I would like to focus on IOS because I do collect dolls from that company
[ /threads/dollmore-lusion-discussion-part-iv.522116/ This is the thread that I'd love to adopt. My apologies, but I don't know how to tag a moderator, so I do hope that someone sees this....I did see that so far, no one has adopted it. I'd love to adopt this thread: Dollmore Lusion Dahlias IV and any thread that goes with that one. They're my addiction. :-)
@LuckyXIII OK, the Granado thread #1 has been removed! @Noctariol Veladi @goldiewing Thank you, the threads have been tagged! @jenthered I have tagged the thread you linked. (There are three others though - Thread 1, Thread 2, and Thread 3, I'm not sure if you meant you want to adopt all of them?)
I'd love to do all of them. As the "mother" of 11 Lusions, I think I'm the authority, grin, so I'd be happy to walk down memory lane, AirimirOfGondor, if that works for you. In my professional life, I was trained first as an art historian, so archiving and research is kind of second nature. Thanks for getting back to me!
Could I help out with the Switch threads? Switch Part II: /threads/switch-discussion-thread-part-two.499687/ Switch Part III: /threads/switch-discussion-part-3.522153/ Switch Part IV: /threads/switch-discussion-part-4.578361/ Switch Part V: /threads/switch-discussion-part-v.627755/ Switch Part VI: /threads/switch-discussion-part-vi.663964/ Switch Part VII: /threads/switch-discussion-part-vii.717492/ @AirimirOfGondor

@AirimirOfGondor I have finished this thread - /threads/iplehouse-fashion-doll-discussion-part-2.730923/ These three photo references would be great in the 'What fits thread', can that be done? (moved.) Here is a link to the FID 'What fits thread' - What fits Iplehouse Fashion Women & Men Message #795 Notes - The riding boots on my Raffine are for flat Souldoll Kid feet but her heeled feet work nicely in them. And my Stella is wearing her high high heeled feet in her boots which surprised me a bit. /threads/adopted-iplehouse-fashion-doll-discussion.719277/page-40 Message #891 Shanleigh stole my Vito Freya's default outfit. She's an Irish lass after all and I was pleased to see that it fit her quite nicely.

As I believe #5 had already been adopted earlier.
@AirimirOfGondor, I've completed the archival of Immortality of Soul Discussion ! Can I adopt the rest of this companies threads? part 2 - /threads/immortality-of-soul-discussion-part-ii.476756/ part 3 - /threads/immortality-of-soul-discussion-part-iii.551728/ part 4 - /threads/immortality-of-soul-part-iv.590205/ part 5 - /threads/immortality-of-soul-part-v.664507/
@AirimirOfGondor May I adopt this thread? /threads/soom-little-gem-monthly-mini-doll-discussion-part-5.629642/ I may poke around more of these threads or the LUTS KDF ones because I've kinda read/participated in these threads a bit over the years occasionally. Is there a specific time span you want these completed in? I have work and stuff but I'd be interested in helping!
@AirimirOfGondor , Fairyland FeePle60 Discussion Part Twelve is finished being archived! Apologies for the delay.

OK, I did some cleanup; all the remaining content in here right now are posts to claim threads which have not been finished yet.
@AirimirOfGondor I have finished with the Super Dollfie Cute thread. I did notice a couple photos that should be archived, in this post about a headmold that hasn't been released.
@AirimirOfGondor I have finished with this thread and added info to the Wiki page. [Adopted] Ringdoll Grown Dolls, thread #4
