[edit] Page Creation
When I created this page, I was surprised that this page did not exist yet. Then it occurred to me that dictionary entries do not belong in Wikipedia. However, if a Wikipedia entry on a word does not exist, there should be a way to find corresponding entries in sister projects. Maybe this could be automated.
[edit] Belongs in Wikipedia
Thanks for creating the page. "Principle" in philosophy is somewhat more far-reaching than a mere logical or rational or verbal principle. It is used in metaphysics a lot. Missing from the article is the origin of the principle and its use to mean a real object or event. By the time all that is in there, the scope is beyond a dictionary entry.Dave 05:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
