Rfv-sense for "curtained carriage used by women" definition Bumm13 (talk) 12:53, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Delete. Discreet vandalism done by a certain user that has been banned. @Bumm13 It might be better to check which user added a particular definition before sending it to RFV. If you're not sure of a particular definition, you can use something such as
<!-- hidden definition -->
to hide the definition first. It's going to take a while for editors to go through these entries that are rarely used. KevinUp (talk) 04:41, 31 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Not sure if it is vandalism, and she wasn't banned for her edits, but for her interactions with other editors. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:50, 31 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Upon closer inspection, I found that (píng) has the "curtained carriage used by women" definition in the Unihan database. [1]. Archaic characters containing the fish radical ( ()) usually has definitions that are somewhat related to marine life, while () would be the phonetic for this character.

@KevinUp: What do curtained carriages have to do with fish, may I ask? Johnny Shiz (talk) 22:56, 2 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Discussion closed. That definition belongs to (píng). Probably a mistake done while copying the definition from the Unihan database. KevinUp (talk) 11:01, 4 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
