No, WikiAnswers is not another version of Wikipedia. Whilst they are both based on wiki technology, their aim is very different: WikiAnswers provides answer to specific questions; Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.
It is similar in the way that it uses the 'wiki' format - meaning that anybody can edit the information. Other then that, there are many differences. WikiAnswers is used when the user wants a specific answer to a specific question; Wikipedia is used when the user wants an article on a topic.
