no
You don't. Answer if you have the facts in hand. If you don't have the facts, don't answer.
Yes , But some of the facts are just facts that people already know
Wikipedia has a good article on the AK- Wikianswers is for brief answers.
No, they are not. They are both collaboratively edited resources for facts, but the format is different. On WikiAnswers there is a short answer Q&A style, whereas on About.com there are collaboratively edited help articles.
In my opinion, Wikianswers is better because anyone can change facts on Wikipedia, which may not be accurate. With Wikianswers, people ask questions and you give them a fact or accurate opinion.
Absolutely not. All answers here are written by other visitors like you. They are not vetted by anyone.
Anyone who makes an account of wikianswers can answer your questions so you can't ALWAYS trust what you see.
Responses come from volunteer everyday people. There is a chance a question could be answered incorrectly. Stick to the facts.
It used to be the animal facts thread, but now it is all just word of the day stuff.
Here are SOME thinking tools - I am not certain if you are looking for some specific list or not - if you are, you should check your textbook first!Deduction - you use facts and information to reach a conclusion.Induction - you use facts and information to work backwards from a conclusion to create an explanationSyllogism - you take two facts which are related, and create a conclusion. An example of this would be: WikiAnswers is a website. Websites contain information. Therefore, WikiAnswers contains information.Avoiding fallacy - you look at information and decide whether it is logical and true or not.
WikiAnswers cannot give answers to lists of published questions for reasons of copyright. You can however ask your questions individually as separate questions.
