Comment: << review queue entry 45940 - submitted by 'ycandau' >>
I was surprised by this def: "effective (in some matter)"
Then I went and checked, and found on Z:
当事 dāngshì
(1) [efficacious]∶掌权
坏人当事,好人倒霉
which is one example of discrepancy between C def and example, and E def, not uncommon in that source.
I can't think of an explanation for that "efficacious"

I suppose that "efficacious", copied from dict to dict, is also the reason for our "effective".
Diff:
- 當事 当事 [dang1 shi4] /effective (in some matter)/involved (in some matter)/
+ 當事 当事 [dang1 shi4] /to be in charge/to be confronted (to a matter)/involved (in some matter)/
