Can you trust Answers.com

Answer 1

This site is based on the Wiki concept, which means questions can be answered and edited by anyone. This means WikiAnswers draws upon a huge knowledge base from experienced and legitimate answerers. Unfortunately, this also some people deliberately put untruthful or harmful answers, and sometimes people are just plain wrong. That being said, the site has a dedicated staff over 900 volunteer category and floating supervisors that work around the clock to ensure the answers correct and protected from vandalism.

Answer 2

Most of the time, yes. Most of the contributors that are members at Answers.com give good answers that could be helpful to whatever you are looking for. There are some members and many anonymous (,you can identify them if they have ID and numbers after it,) users who give answers that may be incorrect, biased or insulting, but you can tell them apart most of the time by how they type their answer and what they put as the answer. There are some dedicated members who will be on the lookout for these troublemakers and will try to fix the problem if they can, and if they can't, they will flag it. However, nothing is better than getting information from a published source or expert/specialist.

Yes, but it's not foolproof.

Answer 3

As long as the proper answers are given on Answers.com, it could be a credible source. It is even better and more credible if the answerer gives a source, or a related link.

Answer 4

It is - to the point that the answers given are correct in general. However - the accuracy of any answer should always be verified with an other source to ascertain its validity.

Answer 5

Probably not. Anyone can answer your questions here, which means that many answers are provided by people who do not know the subject matter.
