Editor : well, if nciku is as far as you can see, then you are short-sighted. nciku is simply a copy (verbatim, mostly) of sources we have identified. Not necessarily bad, but limited; and certainly uncritical. MoE says 編纂, Z dic says 纂集; the examples they give are pretty unambiguous. Even on nciku, 編撰 means "compile"; only 撰 can give it this meaning. I had checked all this, of course, before your submission.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 30586 - submitted by 'creamyhorror' >> Original definition was "older male classmate", but "classmate" implies the person is in the same level as the speaker, in which case 學長 wouldn't be the right term to use, right? 學長 and related terms should be used to address students in levels/classes higher than the speaker. See: http://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/cgi-bin/newDict/dict.sh?cond=%BE%C7%AA%F8&pieceLen=50&fld=1%2C4%2C5%2C6&cat=&ukey=-1928052292&serial=2&recNo=5&op=f&imgFont=1 "對年級或年齡較高同學的尊稱。" [It's used for students in a higher class or of a higher age. Clearly if the addressee is older or more senior, he/she can't normally be a classmate (by definition). Schoolmate is the more general, appropriate term.] Same thing applies to 学妹，学姐，学弟. Editor: right, right. But you are mistranslating 尊稱: it's not (necessarily) a term of address.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 27884 - submitted by 'creamyhorror' >> 《集韻》神陵切: "堘, 稻田畦也" 《廣韻•蒸韻》食陵切: "塍, 稻田畦也" i.e. furrows in a rice paddy http://www.nciku.com/search/zh/detail/%E5%A1%8D/133426 1. 名某些地区指田间的土埂 -- 田塍。 Editor: furrows in paddies are really not much apparent. Anyway here's the problem: 1) 畦 doesn't mean furrow, I don't know how this entered Cedict. 2) 埂 doesn't mean an irrigation channel, but a small dyke or elevated earth path. Altogether you've discovered 2 errors in Cedict; but they made you misread the Chinese defs you quote.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 27864 - submitted by 'creamyhorror' >> I believe the term refers to Chinese emigrants, but not their descendants (who should be termed 华裔). http://www.zdic.net/cd/ci/6/ZdicE5Zdic8DZdic8E334934.htm 侨居国外的中国人 http://www.nciku.com/search/cc/%E5%8D%8E%E4%BE%A8 * 旅居国外具有中国国籍的人。 Editor : the widely accepted meaning is "overseas Chinese", dating back to times when nationality and passports were minor issues. It is true that the word has recently received a restricted meaning for legal purposes, but I think that a student who resides abroad for the duration of his studies would deeply resent being called 華僑. As to 华裔, to my knowledge it is also a recent attempt at clarifying the status of overseas Chinese; but honestly, if you like Chinese and live permanently abroad, you are 華僑.
