Simplification

This is interesting. Wikipedia has obviously grown into a very useful resource. Work on articles, often written by multiple expert, has resulted in impressive and sometimes advanced explanations. The idea of Simple Wikipedia is to reverse this process of increasing complexity and attempt to offer accurate, but simple explanations. The development of articles proceeds in much the same way, but based on different requests of the authors.

Here is a contrast between the traditional wikipedia and simple wikipedia articles on “photosynthesis”.
