	::::Hang on, I've just been looking at the war article again and searching the GBooks copy of Cooper et al, where you base your victory citation off. I cannot search the entire book on GBooks, but I've run a search for 'victory' and it does not appear to be used in the section on the Libyan-Egyptian War. Was that precise word used by Cooper and his co-author in that section? If so, can you provide the exact page reference?

	:::He does not use the word 'victory', but describes the war as "disastrous" (p. 21), highlights the unsuccessful raid on Sallum (p. 22), how Egypt achieved its war aim (lower p. 24), and that Gaddafi gave up his goal of hampering the negotiations with Israel after realizing his military was outclassed (p. 25). It's all on page 21-25. --[[User:Mikrobølgeovn|Mikrobølgeovn]] ([[User talk:Mikrobølgeovn#top|talk]]) 14:20, 21 June 2016 (UTC)		:::He does not use the word 'victory', but describes the war as "disastrous" (p. 21), highlights the unsuccessful raid on Sallum (p. 22), how Egypt achieved its war aim (lower p. 24), and that Gaddafi gave up his goal of hampering the negotiations with Israel after realizing his military was outclassed (p. 25).

		+	::::So more generally, should you wish to insert the word 'victory' in an infobox, or anywhere else for that matter, please be doubly sure that that exact word (sometimes maybe 'military victory') is in the source you back your claim with. Faced with opposing arguments, the exact word must be there. Otherwise [[WP:SYNTH]] can be claimed. Regards [[User:Buckshot06|Buckshot06]] [[User_talk:Buckshot06|(talk)]] 17:49, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
