Wikipedia in Simplified English (English Simple English Wikipedia)is a Wikipedia section created for readers who may find it hard to understand English Wikipedia. To work with this language section, it is enough to have basic knowledge of English.
First of all, it is aimed at students of English at the initial level and can be used during classes and for educational reading. Also Wikipedia in Simplified English can be useful for children for homework and for extracurricular reading. As a rule, the articles in this Wikipedia are simplified and truncated versions of articles in English Wikipedia. Articles in it use much less words and a simpler grammar than in the original English Wikipedia. On July 26, 2006, Wikipedia in simplified English reached 10 thousand articles, on June 16, 2009 it has 56,696 articles, more than one hundred thousand pages And a million edits.
The existence of this section of Wikipedia caused criticism - there is no single language for "simplified English". Since October 2008, the issue of changing the status of the project is being discussed.
