I think we might be missing the point here of the original request. I am a native fluent speaker of English and I have 4 university degrees. I don't need Simple English Wikipedia, but there are definitiely articles on English Wikipedia that I cannot read because they are not sufficiently introductory in terms of content. For example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleotide loses me pretty quickly as I have not studied biochemistry for some number of decades so I don't really understand/remember the terms in which nucleotides are defined within the article. But I don't think we need to have a technical solution. We probably need some simpler introductions to some topics, either within one article or as two separate articles, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_genetics Perhaps we need some navboxes that provide a sequence for reading through a number of articles in some sensible sequence to learn about a larger topic. I think we have plenty of solutions with the tools at hand. I think we just need to identify the problematic articles and hope someone with the right expertise is willing to write the simple introduction or suggest a sequence of articles to be read or whatever is deemed to be the best way to cope with readers coming to the topic with a range of prior knowledge.
