Wikipedia:Simple English Wikipedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (368 words)
So, in general, Simple English articles are simplifications that summarize the most important things said in existing articles, rather than being new.
It is suggested that articles be simplified using only the 1000 most common and basic words in English and less complex grammatical structures—such as shorter sentences—or to conform to a certain skill level in one of the standard indices.
This is still simpler English than most "English as an additional language" students can read after a few months of learning.
Wikipedia - Anarchopedia (1593 words)
It suffers from a combination of software deficiencies and a developer and sysop power structure that is the opposite of democratic, and strongly favours insiders over outsiders.
The result is that it is the responsiblity of a banned user to prove their innocence; and somehow defend themselves against the cabal.
There are no designated editors to make final decisions, in any language, instead this is a power struggle of sorts, with a GodKing who speaks only English and can't possibly read all the disputed articles or judge their content.
