Why not treat this by having the articles get more technical or advanced the further you get into it. This what good technical writers do and also the better encyclopedias such as McGraw Encyclopedia of Science and Technology.

Many of the apparent cases of the same subject being treated in several articles are actually "level forks", where the same subject is covered at introductory and advanced levels, and even in some cases where it is necessary to cover several alternative advanced formulations of the same subject matter. This happens especially often in math and science articles, but also in some other subjects like dance and music. Examples of such bifurcated subjects can be found in this Table: http://www.textop.org/wiki/index.php?title=Level_Forks _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
