Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.
Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

Television's Female Spies and Crimefighters: 600 Characters and Shows, 1950s to the Present
Hello, I've rejected your submission as it seems that your work is not stricto sensu "about speculative fiction" (see our policy). Perhaps is my analysis wrong so don't hesitate to post here if you want to make a case for the eligibility of this (yours?) book. Thanks. Hauck 09:36, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure whether I'm putting this in the right place, but here goes. Yes, this is my book. Certainly, some of the entries are about speculative fiction (television), though not the majority. Examples of speculative series covered include: Sleepy Hollow, Batman (for Batgirl), Agents of Shield, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, Blood Ties, Adventures of Superman (for Lois Lane), The Event, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Haven, etc. I'm not going to list them all, but there are actually quite a few SF/fantasy series with a crime-solving element. I guess whether that reaches your threshold is your call. Karenr2 20:53, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for answering (and yes it's the right place). My rule of thumb is that if the majority of the book is about speculative fiction, it's in, if not, it's out. As you indicate above (and it was also my first impression) we're in the latter case. Hauck 06:04, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
I did a count. 92 out of 258 series are SF/fantasy or 36%. While not the majority, that's quite a bit of content to be excluded from an sf database. Karenr2 19:48, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
