Can you verify Home Field Advantage?

Also, the Genre Verification thread is locked. Is that on purpose?

nope. and it's fixed now. And questions should NOT be asked in the Fall Challenge Task list - you need to ask your question in the thread for the task in question or in the genre verification thread. Your question in that thread will be deleted tomorrow.

Sorry! That was completely by mistake. I thought I had gone to the Help Thread link!

I was wondering how to work with Dutch books who don't have any MPG.
This book for example is about sports but doesn't have any MPG's
Stille sport

So I guess that wouldn't work, or would a link to page with for example dutch book sellers with the theme count to?

You're correct that it won't work - there must be an MPG to use in the SRC for a task requiring a main page genre.

as I have the worst of all worlds - a mix of old and new book pages, can I get Sports verified for The Deal please?
Thank you!

Verify Under the Wave at Waimea for sports please?

It's on my old page genre list but since the book is new and the genres might change can I get The Winners verified for sports. I would hate to finish this chunkster only to find out the genre went away!
