I said, USING SIMPLE: for Simple English is Anglocentric.
Simple: might as well be a Wikipedia in Simplified Chinese. It's NOT an ISO code, and it sure doesn't tell you it's in simple ENGLISH. It should be en-simple: or simple-en:

I, for one, believe we should merge simple: with en:, but instead of having two articles for each topic, we merge them completely so there is just one en: instead of two.
Using simple: for Simple English is very Anglocentric, and on top of that one could use a site like PopJisyo ( http://www.popjisyo.com/ ) to explain the more difficult words.
I don't think a lot of people will agree with me here and I don't expect a merger will happen in the near future, but that's still my opinion.
Anglocentric? How? English is a very commonly spoken language. Would you appreciate a rename of the project? "Foreign English"?
A "merge" of en: and simple: wouldn't be a merge. Everything in simple: would be discarded and en: would stay as it is.
