Yes, WikiAnswers can be useful. It helped me learn how to replace the door handle on my car. It has helped me learn other things as well. I wouldn't say that it is always useful... there is a lot that needs to be cleaned up on the site, and I try to help clean up when I come across something that is wrong or has been vandalized... but it definitely *can* be useful.
Both are useful. Wikipedia is useful if you know what subject to look for. Wikinswers is useful if you have a question and don't know where to look for an answer. Many answers on WikiAnswers refer to Wikipedia pages.
WikiAnswers and Wikipeidia are both extremely helpful when you need to ask a question.
WikiAnswers is definitely NOT the most useless website. WikiAnswers is very useful, and can only be very useful through the work of your volunteers (users). WikiAnswers is useful mainly for those generic, mind boggling questions, and not the complex, detail oriented questions. Keeping questions as simple as possible will make WikiAnswers the most useful site ever. WikiAnswers is only useless through the eyes of those who are not patient and do not get immediate answers, and/or their question is not on the site. because you don't ask the IMPORTANT questions Wikianswers is not useless, it's just the contributers that are useless.
You can help other people answers question that they need to know. Alot of people come on here for homework.
Is there enough evidence for the claims?
Your question does not contain enough information to be answered. What reactions? In what? To what?
WikiAnswers is useful for answering your questions, and it can help you get done with your homework faster. Thousands of people sit at their computers and give their knowledge and time to those who have questions that might not be found with a regular search engine. Most searches use keywords to find things, but not WikiAnswers. You just type in your question and get that or similar questions. With most searches you get random things that waste your time, but not here.
No! It's extremely useful for me, and even when it's not (like when it doesn't have the answers I need) I just submit the question and it's later answered. I've gotten a lot of stuff from Wikianswers! and it doesn't stink. My opinion anyway...
Yes to get other people's opinions, and also because it might simply be a good question. Many may find it useful.
WikiAnswers is designed to provide useful answers to people's questions. We do have a section for jokes and riddles; however, we will not use up space with questions that add no value. A poor question is one that has no useful content or is designed to waste time. If you believe you have seen a poor or useless question on WikiAnswers, please do not answer it and contact a site supervisor or write to support @ answers.com.
Yes, many people do.
WikiAnswers is a useful site when you want to know something. A wheel is a very useful invention. A spoon is more useful for eating soup than a fork or a knife.
