Splitting by PoS has been done for a number of entries in order to aid E-J lookup 
and to give the verb form to Japanese speakers when it may not be obvious.  The 
split may eventually extend to all entries.

-<gloss>sashimi (sliced raw fish fillet)</gloss>
+<gloss>sashimi (raw sliced fish, shellfish or crustaceans)</gloss>

Yeah, the definition only approximates the most common aspects of sashimi. 
I would certainly like the explanation to be more detailed, if possible.
First, about the "slices": on Yonaguni Island (there may be other places, but i 
haven't traveled enough to know), sashimi does not come in "slices" but in 
"chunks" (resembling cubes). And if the ingredient animals are sufficiently 
small they may not be cut at all.
Next, about the ingredients: fish is definitely the most common ingredient, 
but octopus is pretty well standard, as well. In addition, a variety of other 
creatures, as you mentioned, may be used, too (and all this depends on the 
region, the season, and the preferences of producers and consumers). To 
make the explanation comprehensive but not too long, it could perhaps be 
written along those lines: "slices or small pieces of raw seafood - 
predominantly fish fillet but also octopus, shrimp, shellfish, etc." :-)
What do you think? ( I  think in cases like this it is quite appropriate that the 
"dictionary" acts - in parentheses - as "encyclopedia". BTW, i think the cases 
of small whole fish being sliced can safely be left to the "etc.", since there is 
actually other vocabulary at hand for that: see, for example, 
http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-japanese/whole-fish-sashimi :-)

i'm not sure about that, but it also applies to shellfish, etc. so "fish" isn't even 
really correct...  and you can't "fillet" a shrimp, i wouldn't think.

Aren't there some forms of sashimi using soft-boned fish where the whole fish is used in cross-cuts?

I'm happy with this version.

2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_sense

I very much concur with the criticism. And the evidence is easy to find in the 
"copmmon sphere": if you compare the RELATED Japanese and German wiki 
entries on one hand with the English entry on the other hand, you will notice 
that the two sides are talking about rather different concepts. Wikipedia J (常
識) and D (Gemeinsinn) talk about something along the lines of "public-
mindedness; community spirit" and "adhering to generally accepted rules of 
behaviour", while Wikipedia E talks about such things as "verifiable 
perceptions" and "good sense and sound judgment in practical matters". In 
my version of English, people who carefully exterminate their cigarettes 
before opening the gas tank on their cars are considered to possess common 
sense. However, this same expression would not TYPICALLY be used to 
describe a person with 常識, someone who goes with the flow in a cultural 
sense, who fits in (does not stick out) and behaves so as to not rub people the 
wrong way (although situations can be construed where applying the latter is  
case of the former, especially when on eis in a potitioner's position. ;-)).
Since different societies place different amounts of emphasis/value on 
etiquette and adherence to unwritten rules, we cannot straight translate one 
society's "common sense" into another society's "common sense" -  we should 
define English words in ways that are typical for THEIR natural environment 
and Japanese words in ways that are typical for THEIR natural environment. 
(for example, we have good reasons to not (normally) translate 布団 as 
"mattress", ”お箸” as "fork", 相撲 as "pro wrestling", or 空手 as "fist fight"... 
LOL)

常識 is often used in Japanese to indicate politeness, the "common rules" of society. If you say「常識を知らない」about a person you don't normally mean that person lacks common sense (e.g., doesn't carry an umbrella when it rains), you mean, quite simply, that he/she is rude. The result is that many Japanese speakers think that if you say someone lacks common sense in English it means that person is rude. Most Japanese/English dictionaries foster this misunderstanding. Perhaps you could break new ground and give a definition which clarifies this point.

I just happened to notice that the definition of the word doesn't actually match its usage in the example sentence.  The example translates it as "to be striking".

I thought you might want to add that to the definition in the dictionary.

Also, from what I can tell elsewhere in the dictionary, when a word is both and adjective and a noun, the definition includes the adjectival form, which here would be "vivid", but it's not included.

Again, I thought you might want to add it.
