This will add one trust point to the person who answered your question.
"Where are you located?" is not an easy question for any website to answer, especially for this one. As one WikiAnswers Contributor wrote: "[WikiAnswers] has no physical location. It is entirely virtual. Hence, it's only location is http://wiki.answers.com The company that owns WikiAnswers, Answers.com, has its headquarters in Jerusalem, Israel, and an office in New York.

The WikiAnswers community would answer the question.There are many questions on WikiAnswers that use up to the allowance of allowed characters. Answering a question is not made any more or less difficult by the length of it. What matters is that the right person sees it and knows the answer. That's why it is important to select the most suitable category. If a posted question has enough information to allow a Contributor to answer it (and that Contributor can answer it), it will probably get answered. Additionally, we can edit questions here to make them clear(er) or to bring them into line with proper Language Arts rules. The question being answered here was edited, as was the answer. The problem is that in the event a Contributor attempts to write a question into the frame for a question, that frame will only take a limited number of characters. You cannot exceed that limit, and if you cannot make your question clear within allowable limits, it could be filed. We have a place for questions that do not have enough information in them to allow anyone to figure out how to answer the question.
If you ever receive a rude answer, please use the flag tool to flag the question. You can also contact a site supervisor or community assistant. They will review the answer, and see if any actions need to be taken against the person who answered in that way.
