About Wikipedia
This is the front page of the
Simple English Wikipedia
Wikipedias
are places where people work together to write
encyclopedias
in different languages. We use
Simple English
words and
grammar
here. The Simple English Wikipedia is for everyone, such as children and adults who are learning English.
There are 280,727 articles on the Simple English Wikipedia. All of the pages are
free to use
. They have all been published under both the
Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 4.0 International License
and the
GNU Free Documentation License
You can help here!
You may change these pages and make new pages. Read the
help pages
and other
good pages
to learn how to
write pages here
. If you need help, you may ask questions at
Simple talk
When writing articles here:
Use
Basic English
words and shorter sentences.
This allows people to understand complex terms or phrases.
Write good pages.
The best encyclopedia pages have useful, well-written information.
Use the pages to learn and teach.
These pages can help people learn English. You can also use them to
make a new Wikipedia
to help other people.
Simple does not mean short.
Writing in Simple English means that simple words are used. It does not mean readers want basic information. Articles do not have to be short to be simple; expand articles, add details, but use basic
vocabulary
Be bold!
Your article does not have to be perfect because other editors will fix it and make it better. And most importantly, do not be afraid to start and make articles better yourself.
Selected Very Good Article
Fred McFeely Rogers
(March 20, 1928
– February 27, 2003) was an American
television personality
, musician,
puppeteer
, writer, producer, and
Presbyterian
minister. He was the creator, producer, head writer, and host of the children's television series
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
from 1968 until he
retired
in 2001. He was also the music composer for the program.
Rogers was not happy with the television shows that children were seeing. He began to write and perform local
Pittsburgh
-area shows for children. In 1968,
Eastern Educational Television Network
began distributing Rogers's new show across the United States on
WQED
. For thirty years, Rogers became a
television icon
of children's entertainment and education.
Rogers supported many public causes. In the
Betamax case
, the
U.S. Supreme Court
used what Rogers said before a lower court to support
fair use
television recording. Rogers also spoke before a
U.S. Senate
committee to support government money for children's television.
In August 2001, Rogers retired from recording
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
. In October 2002, doctors told him he had
stomach cancer
. He died from the disease a few months later on February 27, 2003. He was 74 years old.

White wine
is a
wine
made without
maceration
. This means the
grape
juice does not stay in contact with the skins, seeds, or
pulp
for a long time. The
colour
can be straw-yellow, yellow-green, or yellow-gold. Alcoholic
fermentation
of the clear
pulp
of
grapes
produces it. These grapes feature skins of any colour. There are many kinds of white wine. This is because there are many types of grapes, different ways of
winemaking
, and different amounts of leftover sugar (sweetness). Most white wine comes from "white" grapes, which are actually green or yellow. Examples include
Chardonnay
Sauvignon blanc
, and
Riesling
