I think "children" and "teenagers" are different audiences. Authors of any age can write for those two audiences. I could imagine having up to three versions of articles about any topic: with complexity suitable for audiences of ages "6-12", "13-19", "any". > In the same way, Wikipedia is roughly written by students/academics for > high-school pupils, there is a kind of interval between the average editor > and average reader. That's unclear - sometimes there are both short and long versions of WP articles. The language for specialized topics is often much more advanced than suitable for high-school students. _______________________________________________ Education mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education
