My issue is that the edit removed the contextual information about the sense that I'm sure Robin intended to include. I didn't think it was overly wordy. If you disagree with that information, that's fine, but I think we need a case to be made that it's not correct or appropriate, and not just an excision.

Noted, but I don't think it added materially to this entry, whereas the notes in the 拝啓 and 敬具 entries did.

I was trying to bring this pair (戦略、早々) in line with the other correspondence pair (拝啓、敬具) which are currently and I think beneficially linked.
So if it’s not an improvement for the brief letter, why is it an improvement that adds value for the formal letter?
As in the case of 拝啓 & 敬具, 前略 & 早々 are always paired in an appropriately but quickly written letter.

I prefered it as it was before, which I think was more appropriate as a dictionary entry.

I think a clearer meaning or two would be helpful here.  i understand how it could be translated as "removing one's hat" -- although I've certainly seen that conveyed much more frequently as "taking one's hat off to (someone/something)".  "removing one's hat" sounds too literal to me, and could be confusing to someone who doesn't know the phrase.

But in the spirit of the example sentence, a helpful additional meaning (particularly for those not familiar with the phrase "to take one's hat off to") might be something like "expressing admiration/respect for".

I don't have access to the dic referenced, but I had a hard 
time finding any references for the cat eye syndrome, except 
this 
http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q102
5312560
but I'm wondering if it isn't read ねこめ? and written with 
the 猫 kanji, rather than ネコ?

this is redundant.  it is NOT redundant for 食肉類="carnivores (i.e. animals of the order Carnivora)", because "carnivore" can mean "member of order Carnivora (inc. things like pandas that don't eat meat)" or "things that only eat meat"

worth keeping separate from 1596420 based on it being archaic and used as an imperative
