What are Historical points on WikiAnswers?
Historical points are a record of some very old contributions that didn't fit into the new system (it was a bit like putting a video cassette into a DVD player). We didn't want you to lose them, so we created a special category for them. "Historical" contribution points can no longer be obtained, and the number won't change. You can view it as a little contribution nest egg. If you don't have Historical points on your profile, don't worry. It means all of your points fit right into the other point sections in your stats box.

Why are your trust points not added to your total points on WikiAnswers?
Your total WikiAnswers contribution points are calculated as the sum of all of the contribution points you have earned. These include first answers, edits, organizational actions, questions asked, and community contributions. All of these points come under the heading of "Contributions" in your WikiAnswers profile. Trust points are slightly different. Contributors do not directly earn these points through their contributions; they are awarded trust points by other WikiAnswers users. Therefore, trust points are not counted as contributions, and do not add to the contribution points total in a WikiAnswers profile.
