Wikipedia Comparison

I searched bull shark in wikipedia and in brittanica and found wikipedia was much more user friendly and had many key words to segway into other topics being discussed on the page.  Wikipedia just kept giving you information as you scrolled down, whereas britannica made you click on certain tabs to display other topics.  When I searched the same topic in simple English on Wiki it took the information and shrunk it down so younger readers could read and understand this topic.  I think with all of those big words younger students would become overwhelmed and disinterested in the topic right away.
