Dear Mr., I thank you for your efforts. For what I saw, the Basque Vikidia articles just reproduce the brief leads of the Wikipedia articles. The advantage of this method is that we can automatically get a considerable number of Vikidia articles in a small period of time. The drawback of this method is that Vikidia articles are slightly supported by references. What I propose here is to create a children-friendly Wikipedia app entitled Wikikids where only leads of articles are represented and enriched with references from Wikidata. The app can automatically generate leads of Wikipedia articles using Reasonator.

Basque Wikipedia has a better (as statistics show) approach to this with Txikipedia (https://eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Txikipedia:Azala), creating articles INSIDE Wikipedia. Children now can read the full article or the children version of the article. I would suggest other languages to have this tab system, the results are great!

The 8-13 y-old encyclopedia grows fast in French, Spanish and Italian, a bit less in English with the competition of simple. We regularly open new languages when we have a group of contributors motivated. Currently we have a group in Japanese and Portuguese. Do you have contacts of persons interested for the start? or contacts who may know future contributors? Great thanks for any tip Best, Plyd https://www.vikidia.org _______________________________________________ Education mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education _______________________________________________ Education mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education _______________________________________________ Education mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education _______________________________________________ Education mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education
