Comment: << review queue entry 69668 - submitted by 'hanpingchinese' >>
I appreciate the recent review of my submission, and the extra research into what is being used out there. I just wanted to give a little more context FWIW.

When decomposing 肅清反革命份子|肃清反革命分子 into sub-headwords, there is ambiguity regarding the last two characters 份子|分子 since there are headwords for 份子|份子 and 分子|分子 but not for 份子|分子.

Given that (even though the numbers are small) 肃清反革命分子 is considerably more common on .TW sites and that 肅清反革命份子 is not at all acceptable in Mainland China, wouldn't it be better to just use 肃清反革命分子 and add a note in the meaning about 肅清反革命份子? It's hard to see any justification for preferring 肅清反革命份子 other than that this is how it is now.
Diff:
- 肅反 肃反 [su4 fan3] /to eliminate counterrevolutionaries (abbr. for 肅清反革命份子|肃清反革命分子[su4 qing1 fan3 ge2 ming4 fen4 zi3])/
+ 肅反 肃反 [su4 fan3] /to eliminate counterrevolutionaries (abbr. for 肅清反革命分子|肃清反革命分子[su4 qing1 fan3 ge2 ming4 fen4 zi3])/
- 肅清反革命份子 肃清反革命分子 [su4 qing1 fan3 ge2 ming4 fen4 zi3] /to eliminate counterrevolutionaries/abbr. to 肅反|肃反[su4 fan3]/
+ 肅清反革命分子 肃清反革命分子 [su4 qing1 fan3 ge2 ming4 fen4 zi3] /to eliminate counterrevolutionaries/abbr. to 肅反|肃反[su4 fan3]/
