Comment: << review queue entry 38722 - submitted by 'vermillon' >>
Originally submitted AND processed by chad though no comment had been made by other editors... and in my
opinion, it's not a "trivial" change.

Editor: Thanks for this entry update, Chad, which I "commissioned" ;-) just over a month ago. I knew you'd do a good
job on it. Your submission did not appear immediately. In retrospect, I'd say you taking a little time to research the
word. I would have processed it sooner, but I was not immediately sure how to check on the verb usage. I already
knew it meant "adorable", as in 我们现在在网上,或者日常生活中,也经常说,这个小孩好萌啊。

I've now found examples that seem to confirm the verb sense, such as
1) 问题:跪求:cv可乐冰的照片。很萌他,很可爱,绝不外传,谢谢了。
2) 虽然不是很萌他跟小雪的这一对,但是剧中那12个小孩子每个都超级可爱啊。

Also, in the Wp reference you quoted -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_%28slang%29
I realise now that there was a link to the corresponding Chinese article that says
ACG喜好者經常把這個詞用做動詞、形容詞等各種的詞性,例:「蘿莉(或正太、御姊……等)很萌」(形容
詞)、「被XXX(XXX代入你喜歡的動漫人物)萌到」(動詞)……等。還有「賣萌」甚至是「不賣自萌」。
[ACG = Anime, Comics/Manga and Games]

The only thing I've changed in the wording is
".../adorable/loanword from..." --> ".../adorable (loanword from..."

As for the suggestion of leaving the submission on the queue forever -- no can do! ;-)
Diff:
