[Lexicog] Re: Issues regarding a free dictionary

[arun t]

Hi Bentong,

Thank for your reply. Looking forward for more
feedback from your side in the future.

But, I want to picture a scenario where dictionary
making is not restricted to lexicographists alone.
What if I and thousand other like me had the power to
create a dictionary and distribute it for free?

I see conflict: one word definition does not agree
with another person's version. How do you reslove this
conflict?

Okay, how does Wikitionary reslove two or more
defintions for a word?
