What are the rules on WikiAnswers concerning questions?

Answer 1

Spelling

When phrasing a question, spelling and grammar are vital. To navigate WikiAnswers, people don't want to arrive at confusing pages that they can't read. Take the example question: "Isn't Football called Soccer in America?" This is the correct way to spell it, not "isnt footblal called soccer in amreica?" Please, always make sure you spell properly on WikiAnswers, don't wait for users spending valuable time on other things to come around and correct it for you. If you don't know how to spell - well, you shouldn't be on WikiAnswers, in the first place - just use a Word Processor.

Personal Touches

One thing that is unallowed when writing a question is to add a personal image to your question, for instance, when asking something like "I am 15 years old and going on a date Any tips?" This is incorrect. When asking a question like that, instead, you should put "Do you have any tips for dating?" Another bad idea is to do something like "Any dating tips?" Questions must be in the form of a full sentence, something like "Any Ideas," "Got suggestions," or "Know how to," - not good.

Punctuation you can't use

Don't forget, on writing questions, you can use only the apostrophe; ', neither the comma, fullstop, or anything else can be used. So, don't go writing questions like "Do all snakes have venom. And if so, how venomous can they be?" It will come out like this; "Do all snakes have venom And if so how venomous can they be?" Instead, rephrase it so it sounds acceptable; for example: "Are all venomous snakes deadly?" or "Are some snakes not venomous?"

Swearing

Swearing, unallowed. Nor is it allowed on the discussion page, or the message board. Swearing is not allowed in any section of WikiAnswers, other than definitions and examples of swears, for example, defining numerous swears. Swearing on questions, answers, message boards, discussion pages, your bio page, anything, no. Supervisors try to cut down as much swearing as they see, but don't burden them with the job of all looking out for your questions, just don't do it.
