Thank you Jenny

The link for 気(き)に入(い)る seems to be an admin link though. I don’t think any of us is able to access the page from that link :grin:

Seriously, well spotted! I very rarely do anything more than quickly read through the list :stuck_out_tongue:

The meaning is one of my leeches, so I wanted to see if the updated meaning helped me out. I clicked on the link thrice and got a “you are not authorized” each time before I took a closer look at the link :grin:

Thank you Jenny!

Question for the group: when something is on the block list, are you notified that that’s the case if you try to add it as a synonym?

I double that. Thanks for adding :blush:
… and thanks to the durtle(s) that might have requested it.

Doesn’t look like. I tried to add “discontinuation” as synonym for 歴 and it was accepted with no complains :slight_smile:

Thank you for your work Jenny!

I have some feedback regarding 胡 (こ、う、ご）(barbarian).

Both of the vocabulary available for this Kanji (胡瓜, きゅうり） and (胡座、あぐら) have irregular readings. Is it possible to add a vocabulary with the onyomi reading? I just find it odd because this is the first kanji that I have encountered where none of the vocabulary reinforces its reading.

Great point @jonmoxley, I’ll add this to our additions wish list (just bear in mind that it might take a while as our list is quite long :wink:)
