WikiAnswers cannot always answer everything accurately because WikiAnswers is not just a program that knows all things and will spit back a correct answer every time that a question is asked. It is a network of contributors and moderators that personally answer individual questions by choice. So, naturally, humans do make mistakes and cannot get everything right all of the time, so occasionally there are mistakes in our answers.

How do you retract an answer from this site?

You can go back to the question you answered, and edit it to remove the answer. HOWEVER - the fact that you answered (along with what you typed) will always be shown in your activity history ! Everything you do on WikiAnswers leaves an audit trail for others to see - even if you delete your own answers. For example - I can see by your contributions - that you posted this question on the 21st of September 2012, at 8:03PM


Why doesn't WikiAnswers always have correct or reliable answers?
