IEP will be moving things to Simple Wiki I see, I wonder who suggested this, in March - <div><div>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:India_Education_Program/Analysis/Independent_Report_from_Tory_Read#Simple_english_wiki">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:India_Education_Program/Analysis/Independent_Report_from_Tory_Read#Simple_english_wiki</a> </div>
<div><br></div><div>Or else, this could be the result of exhaustive internal quantitative, qualitative, esoteric or even Isometric analysis, that was in waiting for a while.</div><div><br></div><div>It would have been nice to get some acknowledgement; not to mention the dearth of ideas from staff. I also suggested incorporating the help channel on IRC, contracting editors remotely, and starting with Tier-l cities in India and only established institutions, at some or the other point during the last year. As usual, most of my feedback was ignored.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And then people wonder why I sound angry half the time when talking about these things. </div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, like the two editors who commented on that suggestion, I agree with them more and more now. Writing simple English actually requires a stronger command of the English language than standard, not to mention it doesn&#39;t exclude all the requirements of verifiability and copyright violations. Maybe students can copy over entire articles directly from English Wikipedia to simple wiki, and this will happen a lot. What can be hoped for, is that copyvio and errors will go unnoticed for the most part and given simple wiki&#39;s small size and tiny community, it is entirely possible they will be unnoticed, and even if they were, it won&#39;t generate a strong reaction.</div>
