Comment:	<< review queue entry 62319 - submitted by 'ghast' >> 鐘 doesn't seem to be the correct Traditional Chinese character here, instead 鍾 would be the correct form. Both characters are homophones (zhong1) and correspond to simplified character 钟; 鍾 is a surname, 鐘 isn't (as far as I can tell). some sources of evidence : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhong_Kui https://www.moedict.tw/%E9%8D%BE%E9%A6%97 https://zh.wikisource.org/zh-hant/%E9%99%94%E9%A4%98%E5%8F%A2%E8%80%83/35#%E9%8D%BE%E9%A6%97 https://www.moedict.tw/%E9%8D%BE https://www.moedict.tw/%E9%90%98 http://zhongwen.com/d/196/x193.htm http://zhongwen.com/d/193/x233.htm ------------------------------ Editor: thanks

Comment:	<< review queue entry 61902 - submitted by 'ghast' >> This term gives me around 3.9 million results in 百度. There are entries for this term in the online chinese dictionary zhongwen.com and Chinese Pocket Oxford Dictionary (and others). from zhongwen.com : crack; split open. from POCD : split; burst (open). from 國語辭典 : 突然裂開。(https://www.moedict.tw/%E8%BF%B8%E8%A3%82) as 國語辭典 suggests, this term seems to be a close synomym to 崩裂, which has a close pronunciation (with 崩beng1 instead of 迸beng4). my suggested definition is a mixture from both english definitions above, but please modify as needed.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 61405 - submitted by 'ghast' >> according to 國語辭典 (https://www.moedict.tw/%E5%87%BA%E7%B7%9A), 出線 means: 在比賽中獲勝，取得下一輪比賽的資格。如：「選手們都全力以赴，以取得出線機會。」 according to one Chinese language textbook i've been reading (漢語口語速成基礎篇 (第二十一課)), it has the meaning "to qualify for the next round of competitions", some examples from that book are : "今天這場球誰贏了誰就能出線, 非看不可" "再說, 出線的隊差不多都是各組的強隊" according to 百度百科, the primary definition of 出線 is literally: "出线，顾名思义，即在竞争中脱颖而出。" , then it goes on to add "目前较多指在体育比赛中，在分组比赛结束后进入下一轮称为出线。", and gives as an example this sentence: "阿根廷国家男子足球队2010年世界杯小组出线，进入决赛阶段。" it is interesting to note that in 國語辭典 tere is no no mention of the other (more literal) meanings of this term. in 百度百科, there is an emphasis in this competition-related meaning too. the simplified form for this term gives me around 15 million results in 百度, quite a few of them seem to be related to sports or competition in general (e.g. "民進黨的競選策略與國民黨何人出線"). please reword if needed. i'm not sure about that plural ("competitions"). perhaps it should be something different altogether.

It is evident from the word itself that 白名單 is the opposite of 黑名單 ("blacklist"), hence, "whitelist". According to 百度百科, this term does effectively mean "whitelist" (see link below). https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%99%BD%E5%90%8D%E5%8D%95/3029364?fr=aladdin There is no Chinese Wikipedia article for this term (yet) (there is one in English, of course).

Comment:	<< review queue entry 59985 - submitted by 'ghast' >> I can't find any good evidence for "倒藪" on search engines, whereas "盜藪" (absent in CC-CEDICT) has definitions in several dicts, e.g. moedict and baidu, and besides 盜藪 seems more intuitive (盜=bandit, 倒=??, could 倒藪 be a typo for 盜藪?) . Perhaps 倒藪 exists and is correct, but having 倒藪 and not having 盜藪 is a bit suspect anyway. For instance, 盜藪 is defined as "強盜賊匪聚集的地方。" in moedict ( https://www.moedict.tw/%E7%9B%9C%E8%97%AA ) But there is no 倒藪 at moedict. Where did 倒藪 come from? Does this term really exist? --------------------------- Editor: 盗薮 is in Pleco's PLC, which means it's quite likely to have appeared in some edition or other of ACE ("A Chinese-English Dictionary", first published in 1978). The definition in Pleco/ACE(?) is "bandits' (or robbers') den". This entry, like many others in ACE, was almost certainly copied by ABC (the wording of the definition is almost identical to ACE's) except that they wrote the first character 盜 incorrectly as 倒. So ABC has 倒藪[-薮] dàosǒu n. 〈wr.〉 bandits'/robbers' den That incorrect ABC entry was then copied by a former CC-CEDICT editor into CC-CEDICT. Thanks for spotting the error.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 59932 - submitted by 'ghast' >> there are many examples of 街坊 actually denoting people (the neighbors themselves) and not a place (neighborhood). for instance : "今年的元旦又來了, 大雜院的街坊們拭目以待" (from a textbook). Pocket Oxford Chinese Dictionary ("POCD") goes even further, and has only "neighbors" as definition for this term. 國語辭典 explicitly mentions "鄰居" as a meaning for this term, link: https://www.moedict.tw/%E8%A1%97%E5%9D%8A I'm not sure about the plural though, 鄰居 is "neighbor" (singular) in CC-CEDICT currently (POCD also does). From examples I've seen it can be used to denote just one neighbor, but perhaps it is more often used in the plural. --- ed: MoE has: ② 鄰居。老殘遊記．第十四回；「俺有個舊街坊李五爺，現在也住在這齊河縣，做個小生意。」 '有個舊街坊' singular/plural - both work

This term (simplified) can also be found in Chinese Wikipedia, corresponding to the English article for "crunch (exercise)". I didn't see the pinyin/zhuyin for this term written anywhere yet, but almost all Traditional Chinese sources I have seen list it as "捲腹" (with '捲' juǎn rather than '卷' juàn, which makes sense since it is a verb not a noun, +1 for Traditional Chinese's clarity here).

Comment:	<< review queue entry 57037 - submitted by 'ghast' >> this word gets around 12 million results in 百度, and is clearly established as chinese for "low Earth orbit". there are articles at 百度百科 and Wikipedia. there is a synonym for this term: "低地軌道", however it seems much less used judging from the much smaller amount of results from 百度 (264 thousand for the simplified 低地轨道). ¿should that be added too? I capitalized "Earth" following advice from here: http://grammarist.com/style/earth/ i'm not sure about adding that "(LEO)" there, but the acronym seems to be commonly used, e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Earth_orbit http://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/photogallery/beehives.html http://space.stackexchange.com/questions/9519/why-is-space-junk-so-persistent-in-leo http://www.wired.com/2015/09/whats-special-low-earth-orbit/

Comment:	<< review queue entry 54139 - submitted by 'ghast' >> I made two changes here. First, the traditional "賓西法尼亞" is missing the "州" at the end (or else the simplified has an extra "州", but I think the "州" should be there given that it is part of the abbreviated name "賓州"). Second, it seems (judging by baidu's results) that "夕" is seen more often than "西" in the name, it's also written with "夕" in Wikipedia and Baidu Baike. That's why I considered switching from "西" to "夕", however I'm not completely sure about this one.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 50686 - submitted by 'ghast' >> According to my 新華字典 and the online dictionary 國語辭典, 據 and 据 are actually two different traditional characters, but are merged in simplified chinese. In traditional chinese, 据 is used to form the word 拮据, which happens to be the same in traditional and simplified, but only because 据 remains unchanged in simplified. So 据 is not 據 in this word, and "拮據" does not exist. See definition and associated words of traditional character 据 here: http://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/cgi-bin/newDict/dict.sh?idx=dict.idx&cond=%D5%75&pieceLen=1000&fld=1&cat=&imgFont=1 As expected, "拮據" does not exist in the 國語辭典. =================== Editor: thanks.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 44881 - submitted by 'ghast' >> In PRC mandarin, 勞 is lao2, lao4 doesn't seem to be used. However, in Taiwanese mandarin, it is pronounced lao4 when it means "慰問", so 唁勞 is yan4lao4 only in Taiwanese chinese, not in PRC chinese. I added the taiwanese pronunciation in the corrected definition string, but I don't know if it is proper or necessary.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 43510 - submitted by 'ghast' >> Baidu's baike here (http://baike.baidu.com/view/972543.htm) defines 馬騾 and suggests "mule" as english translation, it is also the term used in the chinese wikipedia entry corresponding to the english article for "mule" (see here: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%A9%AC%E9%AA%A1). The term 騾子 seems to be more general than 馬騾 and 驢騾 which are clearly differentiated (see my recently added entry for 驢騾), as this paragraph explains: "骡子是一种动物，有雌雄之分，但是没有生育的能力，它是马和驴交配产下的后代，分为驴骡和马骡。" (from baidu baike's entry for 騾子, here:http://baike.baidu.com/view/78245.htm), according to that, 馬騾 and 驢騾 are the two types of 騾子. The article for 驢騾 at baidu baike also explains the difference.
