Inspire campaign

Wikipedia text book

New readers start grasping the technicalities from text book which is vast and has learnings from age old research. Creating a small text book which can be downloaded for free from the summary of similar topics where the reader is looking for (which can be made from machine learning) can be much more effective than the boring text books.

Describe your idea to engage new readers. How might it be implemented? What will you tell people about Wikipedia?

Think about the steps that might involved to make this idea happen, and what you might teach people about your experience or others' experiences using Wikipedia.
1- Machine learning to understand the word and suggest similar readings

2- Summarise the data and make a short pdf for real time application of the data reader is looking for and suggest the deviation between the text book and the pdf

3- Engaging them with short questions at the end of the pdf 4- I would promote Wikipedia more like Ebay where many people come on board to edit the topic and make it relevant and dependable rather than information content.
