Introduction
  • This is the front page of the Simple English Wikipedia. Wikipedias are places where many people are working together to make encyclopedias in many languages. We only use very simple English words and simple ways of writing here.
  • There are 2,408,961 pages in this Simple English Wikipedia. All of the pages are free to use. There is a discussion in the GNU Free Documentation License.
  • You are invited to help! You can change these pages and make new pages. Read the help pages and other good pages to learn how to write pages for here. If you need help, you may ask questions at Simple talk.
What to do
  • Use easy words and shorter sentences so people who speak little English may easily read them.
  • Write good pages with care. The best encyclopedia pages have useful information. They are also carefully written.
  • Use the pages to learn and teach. These pages can help people learn English. You can also use them to make a Wikipedia to help other people, if you change the words to your own language.
