== Standard Sections ==
A brief introduction to the main standard sections relevant to many articles would be helpful.
I am particularly interested in introducing a standard ‘Lay Summary’ section. I believe this could be valuable to help non specialists get a handle on the subject. Also very helpful for inspiring briefer articles for non specialists.
Wikipedia has often been accused of bias. The bias I believe needs most attention is it is easy for specialist articles to ignore wider audiences, especially those less educated on particular subjects.
I suggest Simple English Wikipedias could be a significant beneficiary of such standardised sections and encourage those articles to cross reference to the specialist articles that they used.
A lay summary, perhaps with a note on who a lay person is assumed to be could help.
I have been inspired by medical articles in major magazines having lay summaries.
I don’t know a good way to raise this issue without getting very involved in Wikipedia and all the time and energy that involves, along with how that impacts my personal life. [[User:CuriousMarkE|CuriousMarkE]] ([[User talk:CuriousMarkE|talk]]) 05:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
