Is Wikihow a Part of Wikipedia?

Answer 1

WikiAnswers Is Not Part of Wikipedia...
But it uses the same concept - a Wiki.

A wiki refers to information that is dynamic, open to change, constantly being improved, and based on user-generated content. Wikipedia is a wiki-based encyclopedia, whereas WikiAnswers is a wiki-based Q&A community and site.

Answer 2

No, they are not the same source. In fact, each site has a different source. WikiAnswers' source is from other trusted websites (though generally not Wikipedia) and the experience of over four million members.

Answer 3

No, there are not working together. WikiAnswers is owned by the Answers Cooperation while WikiPedia is owned by WikiMedia. They are two separate companies on the web but both use "Wiki" type of sites meaning anyone can join and contribute.

Answer 4

No, WikiAnswers does not belong to the Wikimedia foundation. It is a wiki site, which means that people from anywhere can contribute to the site, and the content is user-generated.... but other than that similarity in the way the site works, it has no relationship with Wikipedia or any of the other Wikimedia sites.

Answer 5

wikiHow is not a part of WikiAnswers. While WikiAnswers is a Question and Answer website, wikiHow is a how-to manual. Their founders are different too. Even though both of the website names have "wiki" in it, they've got two separate goals.

Answer 6

No, at least not directly. WikiAnswers is owned by Answers Corporation and Wikipedia is owned by Wikimedia Foundation. They are two totally different sites, with different policies, goals, and activities. Wikipedia is a user-written encyclopedia, while WikiAnswers is a repository of questions and answers.

Now, many contributors on WikiAnswers use Wikipedia to help them get the answers. It is sort of one-sided since nothing on WikiAnswers would be considered of use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has higher standards in terms of citations, credentials, and references. Since none are needed here, what comes from Wikipedia doesn't get scrutinized beyond ensuring it is not a verbatim copy.

Answer 7

There ARE lots of wiki sights such as wikispaces, wikino, and wikihow so its more likley it is NOT part of it.

Answer 8

No, they are owned by different companies and serve a different purpose.
