First, as a professor, I would recommend that you be careful when citing anything that comes from an unsourced website (a site that doesn't have footnotes and bibliography). While many of the people who answer questions for WikiAnswers are very accurate and factual, some are just guessing or they give wrong or sarcastic answers. Supervisors try to correct those answers, but still, it is in your best interest to corroborate the information elsewhere before citing it.
That said, when citing WikiAnswers, you first refer to the specific question and the portion of the response you plan to quote. For example: On the website WikiAnswers, one response about Aristotle's theory of ethics said "[quote the relevant portion of the response]." You then give the name of the website and a link to it. As for your bibliography, according to Wikihow.com, the most common way to cite any web page is: 1. Firstname Lastname, "Title of Web Page," Publishing Organization or Name of Website in Italics, publication date and/or access date if available, URL. (If there is no author given, alphabetize by the first word in the title of the article.)
