Primary Section For Children

I believe Wikipedia is a monolithic encyclopedia. I believe it would be very useful to have a separate section for primary children (Grades 1 to say 5) with articles that interest them in simple prose. I could let my 6 year old child to play in such a sandbox with peace of mind. Currently I feel Wikipedia is not usable for my 6 year old. Santonathan (talk) 14:48, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

   Might I suggest Simple English Wikipedia? (It is very unlikely that en.wiki will ever split or section off material based on reading comprehension range, hence while SEW was made...) --MASEM (t) 14:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

   Wikipedia is not usable for my 6 year old -- nor is it supposed to be. It's a comprehensive encyclopedia. At minimum, that means high school level. To use the old standby, I doubt Britannica is useable for your 6 year old either. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 16:13, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

   My immediate reaction was similar to the two above, which you're going to find is commonplace when any new and different suggestion is made. But upon further reflection, it's actually not a bad idea -- a Wikipedia children's edition. It would certainly make parental filtering easier: simply block Wikipedia but allow the children's area. It could be as simple as mirroring selected articles from the Simple English project into a new subdomain. Equazcion (talk) 17:46, 7 Jul 2012 (UTC)

I had the following additional comment. Book (encyclopedia/dictionary/thesaurus) titles are available in the market. e.g. of such titles are Books published by Priddy Books, US(?), The Children's Picture Encyclopedia published by Parragon, UK. I'm not endorsing any of these books but my proposal is for wikipedia to start an endeavour to manufacture the mother of such mentioned titles for small children.
