To take the Poincare conjecture example, compare the Wikipedia article
to this accessible explanation. Should the Wikipedia article
incorporate explanatory aspects similar to those used in the SEED
magazine article?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincar%C3%A9_conjecture

http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/what_is_the_poincare_conjecture/

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I found the SEED magazine
article more accessible and I learnt more from it.
