Why is wikipedia not considered a credible resource?

Wikipedia is user edited. Therefore anyone can put anything on there. For example: in 4th grade someone asked my teacher where spaghetti came from, and (joking, of course) he told them that it grew on trees. He then proceeded to make a wikipedia article about how spaghetti grows on trees. However, there is still lots of correct information, and lots of credible sources.

Is WikiAnswers supposed to be like Wikipedia?

No, WikiAnswers is not another version of Wikipedia. Whilst they are both based on wiki technology, their aim is very different: WikiAnswers provides answer to specific questions; Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is similar in the way that it uses the 'wiki' format - meaning that anybody can edit the information. Other then that, there are many differences. WikiAnswers is used when the user wants a specific answer to a specific question; Wikipedia is used when the user wants an article on a topic.


Is all of Wikipedia true?

Sadly not all of Wikipedia is true. Wikipedia is an online user generated encyclopedia which can be edited by anyone. Some of the people editing have no idea what they are talking about leading to incorrect content. While there are many people on Wikipedia that try to correct these mistakes, they cannot catch all of them.
