i dont think this article adheres to the wikipedia is not a dictionary rule. i also added a item to the ph disambiguation which might also not adhere to it. i dont think it's a stub either. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.97.208.139 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paraphrasis

"A paraphrase (from the Greek paraphrasis)" -- Added this, as some articles mention the Greek word but don't define it. Anybody care to add the correct spelling in Greek? (I can guess it but not be certain.) -- Writtenonsand 12:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this definition is correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.154.52 (talk) 08:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I concur. This is not a good definition of paraphrase. A paraphrase means a retention of meaning transmitted in new or other language. It is a translation within the same linguistic code. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.166.16.74 (talk) 14:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
