 | This article contains a translation of Batman: Arkham Origins from en.wikipedia. |
UPDATE
changeCould someone transfer the needed sources from the English Wikipedia for use on this page. It'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Mainstreammark (talk) 20:50, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Have you had trouble doing that yourself? Also, if you based this article on the one from English Wikipedia, please include attribution here on the talk page. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 19:05, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
- I'm relatively new here on the SEW, so could you help me on how to attribute the page? And to answer your first question...Yes...I've recently been one of the victims of a scandalous, vandalistic, harassing hacker. I've been blocked (no one really understood my situation except Doc Tree), and so I'm unable to copy information from English Wikipedia pages:( - Really it's a long story. Thanks for replying! - Mainstreammark (talk) 21:15, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
- There's information on how to do attribution at WP:Transwiki attribution. As for the references, I don't understand how a block prevents you from reading the article there to get the ref info. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:10, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
- I guess I'll just retype them again. I thought it would be easier if I could possibly cut and paste the refs (including archive info). Do you think there's a way for me to find out if there are any Batman: Arkham fans on the SEW? Thanks for the attribution info.
- Oh, you mean the block actually prevents you from editing, not just from saving? I didn't know that. When I get back on my main PC later, I can copy over the refs for you. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- You got it. Thanks very much! - Mainstreammark (talk) 01:35, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

OK, done. If it isn't the way you want it, feel free to change it. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:49, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I may need a couple more sources to make it a strong page. I'll try and see which ones. I really appreciate what you've done:) - Mainstreammark (talk) 03:09, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- You're welcome. If you want to bring over any other articles, any admin (including me) could import the page into your userspace so you could do the work yourself. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:38, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks again. I'd like to bring over the following articles: Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, as well as the Batman: Arkham series. If you or any other admin could import these articles for me, it would be greatly appreciated. - Mainstreammark (talk) 03:52, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- OK, I'll import them. I'll post here when it's done. Just to be clear, you'll need to simplify them and get them ready for mainspace while they're still in your userspace, then you can move them to mainspace. Make sense? --Auntof6 (talk) 04:23, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- For some reason, I can't import these. I'm going to ask the other admins for help. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:28, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- If the way I put together the Batman: Arkham Origins article meets the simplification requirements, then I think I'll be up to the task of doing it for the others. Thanks for trying to import them. Fingers crossed it will end up working! - Mainstreammark (talk) 04:50, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- It seemed fine, although it could use more simplifying. I just don't want to have to copy the refs again -- it's a bit of a pain. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:02, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- As in simpler words or shorten the article with more concision? And if you can, just cut and paste the ref lists of the articles to my user page. I'll worry about invoking them in the articles, so that it's a shared responsibility. Thanks Aunt! - Mainstreammark (talk) 17:01, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- I got it Aunt. No worries:) - Mainstreammark (talk) 17:15, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Mostly making the sentences shorter -- usually one idea per sentence. For example, the first sentence could be split into three or four separate sentences. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:38, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, done. I tried to follow your instructions as best I could, while still keeping the article well-structured. Looking at the page now, you'll see a maximum of only two ideas per sentence. Let me know what you think. - Mainstreammark (talk) 02:37, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- Much better! --Auntof6 (talk) 03:54, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- Glad to hear it! Just give me the thumbs up for getting the rest of the Batman: Arkham articles ready, and I'll get started on them. - Mainstreammark (talk) 05:26, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't think you need permission -- go for it! I forget -- were you wanting me to copy anything over for them? --Auntof6 (talk) 05:48, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- Nope. I'm good if you're good! I was able to cut and paste the ref lists to my user page using my Mac. Thanks for all your help and guidance! This has helped make the SEW very warm and comfortable. And I do appreciate that. Have a good one. - Mainstreammark (talk) 06:02, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
