This has been somewhat answered by the Simple English Wikipedia. But even Simple was recently nominated for deletion in whole on meta, although the nomination failed. I'm not sure it can be done without splitting off multiple projects, but the problem with that is that our cross-wiki vandals are savvy to new sparsely populated projects, and they use those as a place to roam, meaning you need significant community effort just to maintain whatever content contributions are to be had.
This sounds crazy can you explain it properly as I dont contribute to WikiPedia that much these days so am not really aware of whats going on politics wise.
I am suggesting basically a new (sub) section tags for introductions that can contain :-
a) A default introduction b) The expert topic area. c) Individually targetted introductions
Thanks for the reply,

I am suggesting WikiPedia has context-sensitive articles so if you are a kid or a layperson or an expert in a field you get a different introduction.
Often the reason people don't read or use WikiPedia is articles are too complex at the start.
Having an adaptive setting that can be chosen but users as default needs facilitating by WikiMedia technology.
Thoughts and ideas and possible implementation ideas on this idea are welcomed.
