No. the information is provided by many different sources, and there are some errors on the side, some unintentional errors, and some malicious. The stie does attempt to keep the site as accurate as possible; and encourages people to correct errors when found.
This is difficult especially in topic ares where there is disagreement on facts; and often opinions get posted as if they were facts.

Does answers.com contain all the English entries of Wikipedia?

The Wikipedia copy on Answers.com comes from a "dump" of the Wikipedia database. At the time of the dump it contains all the English entries of Wikipedia. Since Wikipedia grows all the time, the Answers.com copy quickly becomes outdated. Therefore it's fair to assume that the most recent entries [and edits] on Wikipedia are not in the Answers.com copy.
