See below.

My reason for raising a query on this entry is as follows:-

In text, I saw "生いたち"　so I searched for that on your site and I got the message to make a submission or search all dictionaries. When I did this, I got the following:-

生いたち 【おいたち】 (?) ???; RH

However, as far as I can tell, this is the same as the main entry above. 

I am therefore wondering, if that is correct, whether the reading "生いたち" should be included in the main entry above. If that is not correct, then maybe the RH could be completed with an appropriate meaning and promoted because it gets over 40k hits on Google. However, in context, the main meaning above would suit the text I was reading with "生いたち".

I think a spit is OK.

only prog and gg5 have ぎめ.  we could just split entirely
きめ=n
ぎめ=suf

It might be a good idea to add a new entry for ぎめ which points readers here.

I guess not.

seems rather obvious.  necessary?

i agree that this shouldn't be included in a list of wwwjdic 'specials'.

See below.

Many thanks for that explanation.

Naturally, as you know, I am keen that you should include as much as possible. However, I respect your judgment about limitations and the mode of presenting your site.

As always, I derive much benefit from the exchanges even if I sometimes fail in my endeavours to get an inclusion.

>> Am I in the wrong mode of thinking?
Yes. I was referring to the WWWJDIC version of the dictionary, which has some other material added, e.g.
- the main dictionary has "しません (etc.) See: 為る" pseudo-entries added.
- the glossing dictionary has a heap on inflected forms added to improve the matching
I could in theory include したこと among those specials (I don't think I should.)

See below.

With reference to your comment, I wonder about the "WWWJDIC" because when I searched for information on that, I got the following note:-

[Q] I have hunted for the source of WWWJDIC and can't find it. Where is it?
[A] Locked up on the servers. I haven't released it, and at this stage have no intention of doing so. It is continually being modified, and I want to keep it under my control (after all, it is my ego trip.) I don't want any clones of WWWJDIC running around at this stage. Also it is a vast slab on C program code; mostly undocumented. To release it would require a significant amount of installation, etc. documentation to be written. And I'd still be plagued with "I couldn't make it do XXXX" emails.

Then I think we should revert to the 実際にあった form. These glosses only work for prenominal usage.

Tanaka: それは実際にあった事だ。 That is an actual fact. 
Plenty of GG5 examples, e.g. この小説は実際にあった誘拐事件がモデルになっている． This novel is based on a real-life kidnapping case.

I think it's one of those expressions that's easy to decode, but it's handy to check for its validity when wanting to use it. I think it's worth keeping.

I don't think we need this entry. It isn't always prenominal. 
It could be glossed as "to actually exist" but I feel it's kind of obvious.

GG5, Daijirin

GG5, Sanseido Grand Concise

GG5's examples are in kana, as are all the Tanaka examples.

the difference is that その上 is idiomatic, whereas その下 has exactly the meaning expected from the sum of its parts (e.g., eijiro has this as "whereunder", which is just an archaism for "under which")

See below.

A large number of Google hits, plus main entries like the following:-

その上(P); 其の上 【そのうえ】 (conj) (1) in addition; furthermore; (2) above (which); on top of (which); (P)

There seems justification for inclusion in the main dictionary. Maybe also for alternatives like "その下に" and "その下で" with the main part as the principal entry, i.e., "その下".

The reading seems strange in this entry. 形 as よう is not attested anywhere else in the dictionary. It seems like 椀形 should be read as わんがた or わんなり.
