Why can't you answer some of my questions on WikiAnswers?
The majority of unanswered questions on Answers.com is not due to the answer being unknown... it is primarily due to the ambiguity of the questions for example... Why can't you answer some of my questions? Related Questions: Does the person who asked this question have an answer to a question and does not know how to post the answer? Does this person who asked this question wish to know why their question was left unanswered? As such it is highly recommended that questions be as specific as the answers the person who asked this question is searching for. Also, if your questions are not answered, you might want to put them in a category so it would be easier for someone to answer your questions. You can also add the questions unanswered to your watchlist.
What percentage of WikiAnswers questions get answered?
That's a tough one. Some questions are more difficult to answer than others. For instance, "how do I break up with my boyfriend?" There are a lot of those and they may sit around longer before they are answered. However, who was the third president of the United States is an easier one because it's objective. WikiAnswers has more answered questions than unanswered ones, but new questions and answers are being added every few minutes so the numbers are never static. To give it some quantitative sense, according to the conference call by Answer's management on August 13, 2007, out of the total 670,000 questions 375,000 were answered. It gives a slightly better ratio that two to one.

Is WikiAnswers a human?
No, it is a collection of millions of humans. A wiki site is a collective effort where many people supply the information.

Why can WikiAnswers be frustrating?
Yes, WikiAnswers volunteer contributors answer tens of thousands of questions every day. Questions that are placed in the appropriate categories and phrased with proper grammar, spelling and detail are much more likely to be answered than those without. Placing questions in the proper categories ensures that contributors who are knowledgeable about the subjects of the questions are able to easily find them.Some contributors to WikiAnswers may not answer questions which are obviously copied from an exam paper or look like a homework question as quickly as a real personal question from someone who is just seeking information about a subject or help with doing a job.Users contribute to WikiAnswers because they have an interest and oftentimes expertise in the subject matter of the questions and enjoy sharing their relevant knowledge with a worldwide audience.ORBecause some answers can be answered by total strangers, some of then don't even know the real answer. The majority of the time they do, but not always. Questions in which the answer is based on a opinion is not always 'right' the reader.
Why is the majority of the questions on WikiAnswers grammatically incorrect?
Because the majority of people who ask the questions are stupid people. Isn't it sad? I can't necessarily argue with the above comment - however, what amazes me most is not the poor grammar, it is the lack of context and content.
