Wikipedia Simple English vs. Wikipedia English vs. Encyclopedia Britannica Online

The assignment was to compare Simple English, Wikipedia, and Britanica; as well as make changes in any wikipedia article.


The chart below depicts my findings on the comparisons.


I made a change in an article about marker pens. I did what was called a "minor edit." Simply put, I expanded upon the word material and wrote "pourous, pressed fibers," which was changed a day later by another editor. His change was simply to respell fiber as fibre.
