[edit] Re: Dark Knight

Hi; what I meant by that comment was that a reliable secondary source needs to be the one which makes the connection. The original link you posted did indeed make the connection, but by Wikipedia standards isn't considered a reliable source due to its being a blog. The second link you posted was a blow-by-blow account of certain aspects of the story, it seems. While this did contain the line in question, nowhere was the connection made to the forthcoming film. By Wikipedia standards, our making the connection independently is called synthesis (a form of original research) and therefore also disallowed. I know it doesn't seem fair, but those are the rules we play by at the moment. I hope this explanation has been of some help. All the best, Steve T • C 18:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
