Copying from Wikia
Hi, I was wondering if I can copy paste from Wikia. Right now, I am working on LOTR and the wikia page has a ton of information. I know that attribution is mandatory, but not sure how to go. I have 2 ideas


 * 1) Make a null edit to say "Copied from [link]"
 * 2) use the import right to get the attribution directly.

I would appreciate the guidance.

 * Putting a link in the edit summary is fine. If you really want to cover your bases, post on the talk page as well. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:37, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * , ah ok. Still the "import" would be nice. Artix Kreiger (discuss • contribs) 22:38, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Admins can do that here, so that is an option, certainly. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * ugh of course. But thing is, I would be the one working on the book, and likely not a lot of people would be working on it. Artix Kreiger (discuss • contribs) 04:36, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * It must be a permanent link to the version of the page you copied, not just the current page URL. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 11:56, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Thing is,  is on the blacklist. Artix Kreiger (discuss • contribs) 13:43, 17 November 2017 (UTC) on second attempt, no need. Artix Kreiger (discuss • contribs) 15:22, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
