It&#x27;s an encyclopaedia. Dumbing it down would not be appropriate. If another platform comes along that succeeds in providing popular information, great. But I don&#x27;t see how you can easily create high quality, neutral and accurate articles that transparently show their sources.<p>It sounds like you want an entertainment website more than a site that explains and presents often complex information accurately and neutrally. On most issues, even news items, if you want these qualities then you have no choice but to give context.<p>Of course, Wikipedia is not a news source - you seem confused on this matter. Wikipedia documents events as articles which may appear to be news, but most of the time it updates articles on topics to incorporate events that make up the news.
