What does WikiAnswers know how to answer?

Answer 1

We folks here at WikiAnswers answer questions all the time. The problem with you not getting an answer when you want it is this...there are about 300,000 people from all over the world answering and asking questions. There are about 250 supervisors who are volunteers. That means that we try to find the nasty people who clutter up our pages with vandalism, recategorize questions (like this one) to where it can be answered by the people who know the subject, and maybe(just maybe) get in an answer or two ourselves. We are real live people who take an interest in the questions we answer. We care about all the answers that are posted. We are not a search engine like Google so we actually do research to find the answer you need. I have been on the site today for about four hours. In that time, I have relocated about 400 questions to their proper homes, and answered three. Are you getting the picture? We do not answer questions that appeal to purient interests. No porn, no racism, no illegal activity such as murder, rape, or sodomy. Other than that, the site is open to any and all questions. If you do not get an answer immediately, be patient. Sooner or later someone will answer the question with an intelligent answer.
