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 use
Simple English words and grammar here. The Simple English Wikipedia is for
everyone, such as children and adults who are learning English. There are
256,919 articles on the Simple English Wikipedia. All of the pages are free to
use. They have all been published under both the Creative Commons
Attribution/Share-Alike License 4.0 International License and the GNU Free
Documentation License. You can help here! You may change these pages and make
new pages. 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 Basic English words and shorter sentences. This allows people to
   understand complex terms or phrases.
 * 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 does not mean short. Writing in Simple English means that simple words
   are used. It does not mean readers want basic information. Articles do not
   have to be short to be simple; expand articles, add details, but use basic
   vocabulary.
 * Be bold! Your article does not have to be perfect, because other editors will
   fix it and make it better. And most importantly, do not be afraid to start
   and make articles better yourself.


SELECTED ARTICLE

Dan Kelly's helmet

Dan Kelly (1861 – 28 June 1880) was an Australian bushranger and outlaw. The son
of an Irish convict, he was the youngest brother of the bushranger, Ned Kelly.
Dan and his brother killed three policemen. With two friends, they formed the
Kelly Gang. Dan Kelly died during the famous siege of Glenrowan.

More books have been written about the Kelly Gang than any other subject in
Australian history. The Kelly Gang were the subject of the world's first full
length feature movie, The Story of the Kelly Gang, made in 1906. They robbed
banks, took over whole towns, kept the people in Victoria and New South Wales
frightened. For two years the Victorian police searched for them, locked up
their friends and families, but could not find them.
