Wikipedia has a varied audience who can be graded in three ways:
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
** The ''general reader'' has no advanced education in the topic's field, is largely unfamiliar with the topic itself, and may even be unsure what the topic is.
** The ''knowledgeable reader'' has an education in the topic's field but wants to learn about the topic itself.
** The ''expert reader'' knows the topic but wants to learn more or be quickly reminded about some fact, or is curious about Wikipedia's coverage.
* On reading ability.
* By motivation to learn about the topic.
