Did you notice that most articles on Wikipedia, although mostly 'correct', are very dry? And this is because they try to be as 'correct' as possible. But it brings to a point where some (most??) users can't use it comfortably anymore. Think children, who are trying to find some basic information about the subject they are interested in. My 8yo recently has gone through the 'dinosaurs' stage. Drawings, books, stories, films. You think she found this fascinating: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur ?? Nope. Here comes in the federated version, with 'alternative' of the story. Tailored for the 4-10yo audience. Is it less 'correct'? Perhaps. But useful nonetheless.
- iand 14y agoWikipedia already has alternate versions of articles such as https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur Something similar could be done for various reading ages.
