	Comments:	Adding "to refrain" to the 2nd sense (and "abstain", from kenkyuusha's). Hard to say whether it's sense 1 or 2, but I figure you could say it's maybe the equivalent of "if you were considering doing this, please give up on that thought"

	Refs:	some more refs from around the web where the meaning seems to be "please don't" more than anything else: ___ "小型湯沸器の長時間使用やお風呂への給湯、シャワーとしての使用は絶対におやめください。" http://enessance-kanto.co.jp/safety/LPG-3.html "逆走は、交通違反のみならず、重大事故につながる危険な行為です。高速道路は指定された方向にしか進めません(バックもおやめください)。道路標識、路面標示を十分に確認してください。行き先を間違えたり、行き過ぎてしまっても、逆走しないでください。" http://www.jb-honshi.co.jp/use/safety_onegai.html

	Comments:	should maybe "to refrain" be in there as well? I feel as if it's often used just to mean "refrain from", like "駆け込み乗車はおやめください", which could more aptly be translated as "please refrain from ..." than "please stop ..." __ 新和英中辞典 has "abstain." __ dunno if it should be sense 1 or 2 though.

	Comments:	I was just wondering if it would be worth adding a note to the meanings clarify the difference between how とめる and やめる as they are used for the meaning "to stop" (stopping physical motion vs stopping a behavior; to stop something (external) vs to stop doing something). I realize this isn't the forum for a grammar lesson, but I know that even just a brief note in the meaning would have been of great help to me as I was learning to distinguish between the two.

	Refs:	meikyo, gg5, prog, nc
	Comments:	basically split senses on "stop what one is currently doing" and "not doing something in the future" i don't think 已める should be considered "oK" (meikyo has it with a note): ◆【表記】(1)「止」はやめる意で広く使う。「已」はそこですっかり終わりにする意。(2)廃止・廃業する意で「▽廃める」とも書くが(「取引［サラリーマン］を廃める」)、かな書きが一般的。【文】や・む(下二)

	Comments:	Hi, a couple of times I've seen やめる apparently used in the sense of "not attend" (e.g. a party). If correct, this sense seems sufficiently different from those listed to merit its own entry.
