How is WikiAnswers.com different from other question and answer sites?
Chris
WikiAnswers.com harnesses people's collective knowledge to produce informative and useful answers to questions about anything and on any topic. When you participate on WikiAnswers.com, you are not just helping the one person who asks a question. You are also helping all the people in the future who have the same question. This convergence of knowledge and community yields a one-of-a-kind knowledge database - a permanent information resource that can be updated and accessed by current and future generations for years to come. Here's more:
Other Q&A sites use a forum format which allows the same questions to be asked over and over again, with multiple (and often repetitive) answers. WikiAnswers.com leverages wiki technology and fundamentals, allowing communal ownership and editing of content. Each question has a "living" answer, which is edited and improved over time by the WikiAnswers.com community.
In addition, WikiAnswers.com uses an Alternates System - where every answer can have dozens of different questions that "trigger" it. When a Contributor asks a question similar to an existing one, the system connects the question to it as an "alternate." This reduces duplicate efforts and allows the best possible answer to be shown for many different versions of the same question. Whereas other sites may list five different answers to a question from five different people, WikiAnswers.com aims to cultivate one cohesive answer to each query. Answers can grow from one sentence to many paragraphs as multiple contributors edit and add their insight to an answer.

Ask simply uses quoted text from other sources such as newspaper articles and Wikipedia. On here, answers are written by real, thinking people - not just simply re-directing the user to external sites.
Which words are to be used to answer a WikiAnswers question?
On the English site, English words that address the topic and focus of the question. For any other the other WikiAnswers language sites, the language of that site is best. See the related question below.
What should you do if WikiAnswers isn't giving you an answer?
You can share it with your friends on Facebook or followers on Twitter and other sites to see if anyone there can help answer the question. Get more people to know that the question exists and is waiting to be answered. You should also make sure the question is easy to understand. And if the question is placed in the most relevant categories for the question subject, it may be answered sooner.
Is Wikipedia Encylopedia copying answers and info from other websites?
NOTE: The website you are presently viewing is WikiAnswers, NOT Wikipedia. They are two different sites. WikiAnswers is a question and answer site. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. Both are "wikis", which means they are human-edited. Info should never be copied word for word from other sites. This answer depends on the user and their personal integrity.
