is there a way to batch copy certain wikipedia articles(about 10,000) to my own mediawiki site?
EDIT:
How do I do this without overwriting similarly named articles/pages?
Also I don’t plan on using illegal means (crawlers etc)
If you’re looking to obtain a specific set of articles, then you may be able to use the Export page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export) to obtain an XML dump of the pages involved; you can export multiple pages at once, although you may wish to space out your requests.
You can import the XML dumps into MediaWiki using
Special:Importor one of the import scripts inmaintenance/.
