I wouldn't bother tagging ウヰスキー; it's a show-off style thing.

> I don't get why one specific reading (that gets more hits in the ngrams than 5 other readings) is in a note.
Because 井 is a kanji; it can't go in the readings field. But given how uncommon it is, I don't think we need to record it.

I don't get why one specific reading (that gets more hits in the ngrams than 5 other readings) is in a note.
I suggest removing a lot of the clutter. ウスケ is not in kotobank's nikk and web hits are not for whiskey so the ngrams are probably 
misleading so I removed that one too.

Explanation: I removed a superfluous "(a)" and am trying to bring out the 
connotations of this expression more clearly. ("Burnt child syndrome": after i 
misapplied this expression today, i was compelled to conduct an extensive 
search on the web and found that 一役, as "role/ part" is unambiguously used 
in the sense/ context described above but not in such contexts as "my/ their 
role" or  "the chairperson's role". 私の夢なんですが, with everybody's help, JDIC

All the kokugos have 苅る for かる but I agree it should be hidden here.

I don't see the 苅 kanji form explicitly in any refs for this word. Nikkoku has it in a kanbun quote from 1471. Hiding.

GG5: 固くなる･堅くなる･硬くなる 1 〔かたまる〕 harden; solidify; grow 「hard [solid]; 〔雪などの表面が〕 encrust; crust over; 〔しっかりとなる〕 tighten; 〔こわばる〕 stiffen; grow 「stiff [rigid].

Just quoting GG5's subentry. I don't feel like justifying this any longer, and as Jim Rose points out, it has issues.

"硬く" is just the adverb form of the 硬い adjective. We don't usually include these unless they are, for whatever reason, included in one 
or more major dictionaries. Also I still don't think this should be an entry. Like Jim Rose pointed out, it ignores the differences 
between the different kanji, and also ignores all other meanings held by かたくなる outside of "to become stiff". GG5 is often not the best 
guide for what to include, I think. No かたくなる is not an entry in daijs or daijr. (though 硬くなる alone is in nikk)

I read the comments posted when the 硬くなる、固くなる、堅くなる　entry was differentiated from 硬い、堅い、固い.

My questions:  why doesn't the dictionary form occur in the dictionary?  固く is defined on EOW as 

1) faithfully（約束する
2) fast（主義・主張・信念などが
3) rigidly（物の接合・固定などが

whereas 硬くis defined as

1) harden（物を）
2) rigidize（材質などを）

And 堅く seems to straddle both definitions:

1) firm
2) firmly
3) rigidly（態度が）〔【形】rigid〕
4) stiff
5) stiffly
6) stonily（人が石のように）
7) tight〈話〉
8) tightly

My macintosh defines 固く　•　硬く　•　堅く　 as hard; [動かないようにしっかりと] firmly; [こわばって] stiffly; [すき問のないようにびっちりと] tight, tightly.

Seems to me the most important entry, the dictionary root form, is the most important... might be two different entries (固く;堅く) and (硬く;堅く) and is missing.  Not 
wanting to add anything until one of you thought about this.

固くなる	46579
堅くなる	12084
硬くなる	75395

Not sure. GG5 has an extensive sub-entry. There are nuances such as becoming formal. About 
10 sentences (not indexed).

I always heard it as "cobbler's children ...".

Most kokugos have this expression.
The smaller dictionaries describe it as fussing over the well-being of others (他人の世話…; 他人のためにばかり…) at the expense of one's own well-being. They don't really mention the "specialist skills" aspect. I'm not sure how accurate that gloss is.

ルミナス, 中辞典 (extra gloss).

Bear in mind it's a proverb. I don't think a language learner should be worrying too much about the literal meaning of the Japanese, much less agonizing over any ellipsis. We have plenty of expressions where we also give a "lit" Japanese version, and I'd hate to see the English mangled just to make it more 直訳.

@@ -13,0 +14 @@
+<gloss>an old eagle is better than a young crow</gloss>

See below.

I have not changed the above. My thoughts were triggered by the fact that in some text the above expression is followed by "です" or "だ"; plus also sometimes an exphasis, etc., e.g., "な".

What I was thinking is this: that the parts in the meanings above which turn the expression into a complete statement should be included in brackets, e.g., [lit] even if (it's) rotten, (it's still) sea bream. I am stating this because when the meaning is preceded by the concept of "the literal meaning", namely; upholding the exact or primary meaning of a word or words, the inclusion of "it's" and "it's still" seems to be incorrect. I don't wish to become the pedant, but I am thinking that the novice may be deviated from the true concept of such an expression when trying to balance literal meaning of the Japanes head-word with the meaning given following the prefix [lit].

I think that I would like to see such an entry for the meaning of such expressions set out something like this:

"[this expression is idiomatically usually used simply as 'くさってもたい' and conveys the meaning of] something that is not what it once was but it is still high class; quality is quality; [lit] even if (it's) rotten, (it's still) sea bream.

should be 薬味醤油皿, but that gets only 100 hits, mostly for 「薬味・醤油皿」, 
which seems to be pretty strongly associated with a single 120-yen dish sold 
on Amazon, which can hold either condiments ~or~ soy sauce
there is some support for the original meaning (e.g. 
http://jitandokusho.livedoor.biz/archives/1244317.html), but it seems to
