How many contribution points do you get for asking a question a placing it in one category?
Asking a question is one contribution point. Each category it goes in is also one contribution point. 1 question (1 point) + 1 category (1 point) = 2 contribution points for asking a question and placing it into one category. Since the maximum number of categories a question can be placed into is 3, the maximum number of contribution points a user receives for asking any new question is 4 points: 1 question (1 point) + 3 categories (1 point for each category x 3 categories) = 4 contribution points for asking a question and correctly placing it into 3 categories.
How does WikiAnswers choose the 'Suggested Categories'?
When entering a new question - or clicking on "Edit Categories" for an existing one - WikiAnswers looks for questions and answers that have similar words to that question. It polls the assigned categories of these questions and answers, and the categories that get the maximal weight are listed in the "Suggested Categories" list, for the user to choose from.When a question has slipped through the cracks and is uncategorized - despite the process described above - the Topicana bot may be called upon and will automatically assign a category from the "Suggested Categories."For example, if a question regarding "Ron Weasley" is asked, the bot will search for all questions regarding "Ron" and "Weasley," and then assign the correct category - "Harry Potter" - to the new question. This is the big picture, while glossing over some of the technical details.Sometimes the suggested categories are quite appropriate, but sometimes they are not accurate. So, when posting questions, you should always check that the "Suggested Categories" are OK. If they are not, it would be best to search for more suitable categories by using the "Search categories" box provided. The same goes for questions you think Topicana put in weird categories.If you find any questions that are misplaced, you can help Topicana correctly identify and categorize such questions in the future by placing each of them in correct or more appropriate categories.As part of the 93 experience that WikiAnswers ran on 9/9/09, this question was answered by one of the WikiAnswers Software Engineers, Yuval, by video response.

Does saving lots of categories make a question more open to answers?
You are entitled to place your question in up to three categories. Placing the question in more than one category - ensures more people will see it than if it was in just one. It may be that the right person to answer your question only looks at certain categories.
Is Genevieve Hannelius ticklish?
That is something private, and WikiAnswers does not provide personal, private information. I also feel that placing her name and that question is inappropriate.
Does this site ever tell you anything?
Yes, WikiAnswers volunteer contributors answer tens of thousands of questions every day. Questions that are placed in the appropriate categories and phrased with proper grammar, spelling and detail are much more likely to be answered than those without. Placing questions in the proper categories ensures that contributors who are knowledgeable about the subjects of the questions are able to easily find them. Some contributors to WikiAnswers may not answer questions which are obviously copied from an exam paper or look like a homework question as quickly as a real personal question from someone who is just seeking information about a subject or help with doing a job. Users contribute to WikiAnswers because they have an interest and oftentimes expertise in the subject matter of the questions and enjoy sharing their relevant knowledge with a worldwide audience.

The majority of the time they do, but not always. Questions in which the answer is based on a opinion is not always 'right' the reader.
