I usually say so to stave off the “where’s my def?” question when it changes, but I try to do so in a general way “combined with another def” without giving away whether it’s another player or the real one.

Subject: [Dixonary] Question
So far no one has addressed my question:
Do I tell a submitter that I've combined his or her definition with another? If the definitions aren't exactly the same but too similar to separate them, how do I decide how to combine them? This is a new issue for me!

If I’ve non-trivially changed someone’s def (usually by adding words to it in combination, or simplifying a lot) I’ll just say, “I’ve combined your def with another similar one.” Quick and to the point. They’d figure that much out when the defs were posted anyway, so it’s not like I’m telling them anything.

Dan,
So you actually say that two definitions were combined with/without indicating which definition is that combination? (That's two questions. LOL!)

Sounds like I don't have to say anything at all if I prefer not to. :-)Judy
