What else can I help you with?
Why doesn't Answers.com recognize its own term ReferenceAnswers when I try to find how to get to the ReferenceAnswers?
ReferenceAnswers has not been a supported website in quite sometime. It was taken down.
Has the text on the top of WikiAnswers that says ReferenceAnswers always been there?
The ReferenceAnswers logo was added when Answers.com and WikiAnswers combined into one website in early 2010. The ReferenceAnswers logo is to let you know that you're on a reference page, as opposed to being on a Q&A or WikiAnswers page. As you'll notice at the top of this page, it says Answers.com | WikiAnswers, just like Answers.com | ReferenceAnswers.
Does WikiAnswers sponsor Answers.com?
Answers.com is the parent company of WikiAnswers and ReferenceAnswers
What sometimes when you ask a question it takes you to the definition and not what you want to go to?

How does Answers.com ReferenceAnswers differ from Wikipedia?
Answers.com | ReferenceAnswersImagine a Wikipedia page, but above the Wikipedia information, there is also the information provided by a professionally edited encyclopedia or dictionary or atlas, like Britannica or Columbia Encyclopedia. That's what Answers.com's ReferenceAnswers section offers. It has all of Wikipedia's entries, plus (when available) other sources on the same topic, on the same page.
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.
