Not really substantive, just noticing the differences between Winged Victory and this. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:13, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
There are many statutes of Winged Victory, for example in the Victoria Memorial, London, and in many other war memorials, but perhaps most famously the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
I would assert that this statue is not the primary topic for a statue of a Winged Victory, and some disambiguation is required, with this article moved to a title disambiguated by the artist or location, Winged Victory (Lewis) or Winged Victory (Olympia, Washington) or something similar, and Winged Victory (statue) redirected to Winged victory or to Winged Victory of Samothrace. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.251.69 ( talk) 10:06, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
@ Johnbod and JHunterJ: Pinging you both since you've edited the disambiguation page. Thoughts? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 18:28, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
I'd argue this content is not specific to the statue in Olympia and should be removed. I don't often see sections in artwork articles describing how the work is similar to others, unless sourcing specifically makes the connection(s). Thoughts? I'd remove the text myself but don't want to make drastic changes to a Good article without additional input. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 18:34, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Should this article be added to Category:Sculptures of Greco-Roman mythology and/or Category:Victory, like Winged Victory of Samothrace? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 18:39, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
The current lead photo is not bad at all, but I think one I took recently is better, and I'd like to replace it. I leave the decision to someone else, though, because I know it's easy to be biased in favor of one's own work. - Jmabel | Talk 21:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
