	Comments:	I admit I didn't check the kokugos for ばんぜい; I just noted the miniscule n-gram count. I agree it could be dropped.

	Comments:	We agreed not to hide [ok] readings. Our current policy is to keep using [ok] for readings described as "古くは..." in the kokugos, and to either drop the rest or move them to separate [arch]-tagged entries. The kokugos have "古くは「ばんぜい」" for 万歳/ばんざい so [ok] is appropriate here. But I also don't think there's much value in recording these readings so I wouldn't object to dropping it entirely.

	Comments:	That looks much better. But I don't really understand what "vs" means in sense 2. If it's "To cheer;to celebrate", could we move the vs to sense 1? OL has a verb definition for "hurrah" ("shout ‘hurrah’.")

	Comments:	this entry confuses me. Should all senses really be int? Shouldn't "Banzai (cheer)" lead?
