CommentI am wondering why there is not a two-way cross-reference between the above headword and the following entry:-

"自由民主党 【じゆうみんしゅとう】 (n) (1) Liberal Democratic Party; LDP; (2) Free Democratic Party (Germany); FDP."

I had understood from my references that the headword of this submission is merely an abbreviation of the above entry.

I did not make any amendments just in case there is a subtle difference in the Japanese political world.

Editorial Comment I'll drop the wasei tag. AFAIK free-diving is not quite the same as skin diving, so I'll split it into two senses.

CommentThe above entry does have the "(abbr)" note, unlike "自民党," which headword, I commented upon under a previous submission. However, again, I am wondering if there should be a, both-way, cross-reference to each.

Editorial Comment 体言止め is not an entry, so it can't be an xref target. I have added it..... OK, I see you followed with it, but it arrived in the next day's batch.
