Should WikiAnswers allow quality edits to their Wikipedia articles?

Unfortunately, the Wikipedia articles that are on Answers.com (on the ReferenceAnswers side, not the WikiAnswers side) are exact copies of the Wikipedia articles, and they update almost as fast. It wouldn't do any good to edit it only on the ReferenceAnswers side, because any edit would only be copied over when we got the next update from Wikipedia.

How long after a Wikipedia edit is made will it show up in an enquiry via WikiAnswers?
I would wait a minimum of 4 hours for the text of a Wikipedia article to update, but it will never update on WikiAnswers without help... it will only update automatically on the ReferenceAnswers side of Answers, not the WikiAnswers side. So, two things if you see incorrect information from Wikipedia on the WikiAnswers side... first of all, we don't allow cutting and pasting on WikiAnswers, so that content should be taken down. Second, if we have incorrect information on this side... this side is a wiki, and you can edit it directly.
