Line 89: It is important not to oversimplify material in the effort to make it more understandable. Encyclopedia articles should not "[[Lie-to-children\|tell lies to children]]" in the sense of giving readers an easy path to the feeling that they understand something when they don't. == ~~Labeling~~Finding articles that are too technical == For articles that are not sufficiently understandable, the {{tlx\|Technical}} template should be ~~inserted~~added at the top of the article. ~~''You should put~~Leave an explanation on the talk page with ~~comments~~how onthe ~~why you believe it~~article is too technical, or suggestions for improvement''. Templates added without explanation ~~are likely~~might to be either ignored or removed. ~~Articles~~A ~~containing~~list ~~this~~of ~~template~~overly technical articles can be found inat [[:Category:Wikipedia articles that are too technical]]. For overly technical statements, use the inline template {{tlx\|Technical statement}}. This tag should be used only on articles which you feel could be improved by someone following the guidelines listed above.
