[edit] war booty

I have tried looking up the term "war booty" in wikipedia, wiktionary and google, the closest match I found was http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/booty , 2. description. I have not found out precisely how to make an external link yet, furthermore I am not sure if that's the preferred solution in this case. I think it would be a satisfactory workaround, but on the other hand I recognise the use for a wikipedia entry for war loot. If you feel there is a need for one, go ahead and get the page started, especially if you have a good idea of what that page should contain. In the meanwhile, what works best: leaving the entry empty or linking it to the Wiktionary entry 'booty'? - Tkrokli 09:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

It is better not to make a direct link to wiktionary. Booty and loot are pretty synonymous in this context, but war booty and war loot currently both redlinks. How about looted art? (Do the Greeks want this back from Venice, like they want the Elgin marbles back from London?)-- ALoan (Talk) 11:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I've added a stub for war booty. I've not heard anything about the Greeks wanting the statue back - I guess it happened too long ago for them to really care. Anyway, they have their own copy. :-) -- ChrisO 20:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
