	Comments:	I missed the "Ｗ[sK]" addition in the last edit. I don't think it should be here - better to add ダブル as an [sk] reading to the Ｗ/ダブリュー entry. For this entry, Ｗ only (possibly) applies to sense 1 and its presence is screwing sentence linking. I'll drop it, reopen, and propose ダブル for addition to the ダブリュー entry.

	Comments:	re: sense 7, I think the note needs to be this long or there's no meaning to having a note mentioning ハーフ at all. I would call this [rare] because nobody actually uses this　;unlike the word ハーフ)

	Comments:	There are two existing entries: Ｗ/ダブリュー and ダブル. What is raised here is that ダブル is sometimes used for Ｗ. We could either add ダブル as another reading for Ｗ, just add it as a note to the Ｗ entry, or merge the two entries as they'd share ダブル. Since the intersection is not the main reading of Ｗ, I don't like a merger. I think adding ダブル as a reading to Ｗ is best.

	Refs:	http://www.google.com/search?&q=ｗ+"ダブル" http://eow.alc.co.jp/Ｗ/UTF-8/?ref=sa http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/W "日本語では、「二倍の、二つの」などを意味するダブル（double）の意味で使われる。ただしこの表現は日本語独自のもので、日本人、もしくは、日本語に精通した外国人以外には通じない。英語圏ではdoubleの略としてはDを用いる。"
	Comments:	Since I don't know much about merging policy, I'm not sure if it'd be better to add Ｗ;ｗ as Kanji here and mark the Meanings [uk], or give Ｗ read as "ダブル" a separate entry since it's a fairly slangy way of writing it. I also don't know whether Ｗ is used for Sense 2 or not.
