As a regular member, you can request that the two questions be merged and the supervisor community that handle the merge requests deal with all of them. Regular members cannot merge questions, I'm afraid. However, as a supervisor - we can merge questions to make them one-standing question.

How do you merge answers on WikiAnswers?
Only Supervisors have the ability to merge questions. Non-supervisors who reword questions may trigger a merge that will be sent to a Community Assistant for review. If the two questions should be merged, the CA will merge them.

What should you do when two questions with different answers are asked at the same time?
If two questions - both asking the same question - are asked, we use the Merge feature. See the Related Links section for more information.

Is it acceptable to copy an answer and paste it into another?
If the correct answer is the same for both, yes.
Is it okay to copy and paste an answer from WikiAnswers to answer another WikiAnswers question when the two questions are asking exactly the same thing?
If the two questions are nearly identical, either recommend a merge, or ask a Supervisor to merge the questions for you. If the questions are not the same, but have the same answer, it is alright to copy and paste an answer as long as you wrote it. Don't take credit for an answer that you did not write.
How can you merge exactly identical questions into 1 question?
The WikiAnswers site does not allow you to have two identical questions. If there are two questions that would have an identical answer, then they should be merged. Only Supervisors have this ability.
Why does this site always give false answers?
It looks like you are combining all your questions with similar, but different questions. Try to word you question clearly so that people can help you better, and don't blame the website if you merge your questions incorrectly.
Who has the power to merge questions on WikiAnswers?
Supervisors can merge questions on WikiAnswers. You can notify Supervisors through the Community Forum, which is checked regularly. It will help if you include the URLs for the questions you think should be merged and we'll take care of it.
What is the best way to merge two questions on WikiAnswers when one of the answers is well researched but the other is so bad that it should be deleted and its question made into an alternate?
Send it to a supervisor. He would be able to revert the wrong answer and add it as an alternate to the correct answer.
