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.

I don't think this is really a problem. Experts make mistakes too. Somebody should inform that expert of his mistake so that he can correct it. His criticism of the standard of the entry on the Simple English Wikipedia is valid.
Her criticism.
I agree that it is not at all clear what the Simple English encyclopaedia is about if you just link to a random page. I don't think we need any more complex solution than site-specific branding and (possibly) a brief notice at the foot of the page, though.
