Wordnik has some very good people behind it; their problem is that their wordlist is way ahead of the content; i.e., definitions and examples.

wiktionary is limited by the wiki construct.

Urban Dictionary is bleah and ecch.

>the tactics of Dictionary.com and others what are these tactics of which you speak?

your example is not atypical; they have many words listed which refer elsewhere or have no content at all; in other words, it seems as though having a word listed is more important than defining it! perhaps they're all just placeholders, but.
