I was going to suggest this to Programmer1 but he resigned his position and there isn't a new Dictionary admin yet, so I thought I'd just post here in the meantime. I was thinking it may be a good idea to go through the existing entries, and combine duplicate entries, or remove one of them as appropriate. Any obsolete information that isn't still useful could be removed and/or marked as such if found as well, and where duplicate entries are combined, a note could be appended crediting both submitting users (if applicable). For a quick example, look at the two definitions for the audio format MOD: MOD (1) MOD (2) as you can see, the second definition doesn't give much information, and could easily be incorporated into the first. I'm sure I've seen other examples in the past while searching the dictionary, but can't think of them right now. In any case, I think it would be good to get such duplicates cleaned up if possible, to improve the dictionary's user-friendlyness a tad.
