<< review queue entry 41025 - submitted by 'slacka' >> Lately, I've been going through vegetable definitions. This one with all the commas and parentheses stood out and looks messy. Additionally, it does not follow the cc-cedict standard of slashes separating definitions. http://cc-cedict.org/wiki/format:syntax The English definitions should be separated with the '/' character (e.g. /English equivalent 1/equivalent 2/). Editor: The editor who wrote the definition was writing some five years ago. He was writing over 95% of the new definitions and at the same time developing many of the format rules we have today (some of which have since been modified). By "Japanese daikon", I believe he meant "for which the Japanese is 'daikon' " and it doesn't make sense to put that at the head of the definition -- it was intended to be additional information, coming *after* the term "oriental giant radish". Anyway, I have rewritten the definition now, so that that's not an issue any more. Those format rules from which you quote have been altered a bit, in practice, without the changes being written up in the wiki. Sorry about that. For example, rather than say /blah blah/such and such/ if "blah blah" is the same thing as "such and such" we have been known to bend those rules and write /blah blah (such and such)/ if it saves people from having to check whether those two wordings are indeed referring to the same thing (rather than being two distinct senses of the Chinese headword). Also, there are some rules that we have never gotten around to writing down in the wiki, unfortunately. |
