You’ll see Simple English in the list of languages on the left Sidebar in Wikipedia. Open any article and click on Simple English from the languages menu. This will open up a Wikipedia page with a concise information on the topic. Alternately, you can also have the simple English version by modifying the URL for the page a bit. For example, for the simple English version of the Wikipedia article for Theory of Relativity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity), you can replace the language code “en” in the URL with “simple”. So, the URL for the simple English version the Theory of Relativity will be http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity. Simple English version is thus the short version of any original article on Wikipedia.

Simple English version for any article on Wikipedia is handy if you want to have very concise information on a topic.
