Please -someone knowledgable- write a definition at the beginning and an explanation in the second paragraph. Then indicate the difference from overloading.--[[Special:Contributions/129.7.147.112|129.7.147.112]] ([[User talk:129.7.147.112|talk]]) 16:03, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

== Needs Merging ==

Since this article is so small and deals with a subdivion of the original concept, i feel it should be merged with the main article for polymorphism. In doing so it would shed light on the inaccuracies people have been complaining about and thus increase the chance of someone fixing the mistakes, there is no need for a separate article to discuss something that only needs a brief explanation to distinguish its use in OO vs other paradigms. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Konnerjr|Konnerjr]] ([[User talk:Konnerjr|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Konnerjr|contribs]]) 16:58, 21 December 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Python example doesn't show distinction between polymorphism and method overriding ==

The article clearly states that polymorphism is not method overriding. Yet isn't the latter exactly what the example is doing?

:This article clearly states very little! We have:

::... ''Polymorphism (which is strictly referring to subtype polymorphism in the context of this article)'' ...

:Followed by a section headed:

::''Parametric Polymorphism''

:If you come to the areticle with no prior knowledge, you would leave confused. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 05:49, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
