Here are opinions from our users:
- The usefulness is variable by category and question, which is why I like to jump in and help out, to make it better.
- Due to the fact that the answers are user-generated and most of the answers are opinionated, biased and with little to no fact backing them up, the site is fairly useless for any practical research.
- Much less reliable than Wikipedia.com.
- Wikipedia is a great site but it's design and focus is to deal with a single word or phrase at a time, notwith questions. WikiAnswers' design and focus is to be the best place where anyone can ask a question and other contributors can collaborate to give their best possible answer (or answers) to that question. All answers on WikiAnswers are given by voluntary contributors.
- Yes, you can find all kind of information here. Answers.com is a dictionary/encyclopedia. It uses information from many different encyclopedias.
Why do any contributors write answers here? The main reason is that they are really interested in the topics of the questions and feel they have some relevant knowledge and experience which they wish to share with other people.
Nobody has to answer anything unless they want to give up their own free time to do so. They always make a personal choice first to give an answer and second exactly what they want to say in an answer.
When they answer a question, they usually try to give as much information as they think is relevant to the actual question asked.

What is better WikiAnswers or Wikipedia?
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.
Why is WikiAnswers the most useless website ever?
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.

Is WikiAnswers useful and don't say that my question doesn't have enough info?
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.
