All that's happened is that the professionally produced material had
some specific attention towards making it readable.

The Wikipedia AFAIK doesn't have any formal processes to check that,
so far as I know.

There are reading age metrics so it might be well worth running a bot
over the whole wiki to calculate them and add them to the talk page to
help people work out whether articles are written at an appropriate
level for their content.
