Wikifying
[edit]User David Kernow asked me to discuss my reversion of his (given well-intended) edits to the article. I thought I'd bring it here so everyone can participate.
I think sorting a disambiguation page into categories is very helpful, and I didn't realize he added more information as well, so I should've looked more closely before flat-reverting. However, I beleive that a item being "wikiquote material" or lack of a wikilink should not be reason for its removal.
- Just because no one's gotten around to making a page for the Joseph Conrad novel victory doesn't mean we should strike all knowledge of it from everywhere else
- The definitions/uses of victory (pyrrhic victory and quote from Apocalypse now) is exactly the kind of broad-web I enjoy in Wikipedia and suits its primary purpose -- to inform.

- Re your second point, I agree; but my understanding is that one of Wikiquote and the Wikitionary raisons d'être is to keep such material stored at Wikiquote/Wiktionary/etc and leave links to it where and when appropriate. Thanks for your thoughts, David Kernow 00:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay, no further input since the above, so have reverted to MoS:DP-compliant wikification but included wiktionary-type varieties of victory. Regards, David Kernow 10:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
