WikiReaders are an invention of the German Wikipedians,
This is false. "Simple English Readings in SUBJECT" were being written on the Simple English Wikipedia before they appeared in German. They covered such subjects as Cosmology & Health, and were designed to be useful as staged readings for people who were learning English - proceeding from simpler to more complex articles & vocabulary. Some "Simple English User Stories" were included, a standard technique to illustrate some ways in which the articles might be used by real developing-world end users. So, what happened to all this? Vandalism, basically:
These were unilaterally deleted by "User:Angela" as part of a "clear cut" of policy issues and staging and other material that was clearly directed towards developing-world users.
142 has had his writing deleted from more wikis than I care to count. Angela was hardly doing something extraordinary. And we do have a policy of deleting anything written by hard-banned users.
