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 only use simple English words and grammar here. Simple English Wikipedia is for everyone! That includes children and adults who are learning English.

There are 251,860 articles in this Simple English Wikipedia. All of the pages are free to use. There is a discussion in the GNU Free Documentation License. You can help here! You may change these pages and make new pages about whatever you want. 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 easy words and shorter sentences. This lets people who know little English read them.
  • 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 doesn't mean little. Writing in Simple English doesn't mean that the readers want the information simple, the words are simple. Articles don't have to be short to be simple, expand the articles, include a lot of information, but use basic vocabulary.

Selected article

American Airlines Flight 11 was the first hijacked airplane of the September 11, 2001 attacks. It crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The American Airlines airplane was a Boeing 767. It was scheduled to fly from Logan International Airport in Boston to Los Angeles International Airport. Fifteen minutes after takeoff, the hijackers forced their way into the cockpit. One of the hijackers was a trained pilot. He took the controls of the aircraft and flew it into the North Tower.

92 people died in the crash—five hijackers, 76 other passengers, and 11 crew members. The time of the crash was 08:46 Eastern Daylight Time. Many people in the street saw the crash. It was also recorded on film by French moviemakers. The crash, and the fire that started right after the crash, made the North Tower collapse. The attack both killed and injured thousands of people.

The American Airlines Flight 11 aircraft was a Boeing 767. Even though it could carry 158 passengers, the September 11 flight carried only 81 passengers and 11 crew members.
