Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, gives you the basic information of searched content. I often go for wikipedia to know some interestings facts and its history compare to others.
Most articles will include a lot of information like the correct way to pronounce certain words and has a link to a particular query’s ambiguous meanings. This can be a little too much for children or for people who do not know English as their first language. Now everything became simple.
Let’s say I am reading an article about India on Wikipedia. The URL will be
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_Nadu
To get the same article in simple English just replace “en” with “simple”.
So the URL will be http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_Nadu
